Description
Open hearth furnaces (pictured here) were used extensively in the manufacture of steel in many of the steel mills in western Pennsylvania. Molten iron is poured into a large shallow hearth and subjected to intense heat, which removes impurities from the iron and subsequently prepares it for the infusion of other elements. After tapping from this furnace, the steel is ready to be poured into ingot molds.
