Research Summary

Steel slag is a byproduct formed during the steelmaking process when impurities and non-metallic materials in iron ore are oxidized and combined. It primarily consists of calcium, silicon, magnesium, and aluminum oxides, along with traces of iron and other elements. Once cooled and solidified, steel slag is crushed and processed into various sizes for different applications. Known for its high strength, durability, and resistance to abrasion, steel slag finds extensive use as a construction aggregate in road base materials, concrete, asphalt, and embankments. It can also be processed into slag cement or ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), enhancing concrete properties and reducing environmental impact in construction projects. Steel slag utilization not only conserves resources but also promotes sustainable waste management practices in the steel industry.
