Proses Basic Oxygen Furnace
Proses tanur oksigen basa ( Basix Oxygen Furnace, BOF) menggunakan besi kasar (65 – 85%) yang dihasikan oeh tanur tinggi sebagai bahan dasar utama dicam!ur dengan besi bekas dan batu ka!ur" Panas ditimbulkan oleh reaksi dengan oksigen. Gagasan ini dicetuskan oleh Bessemer sekitar tahun 1800.
