Product Description
Australia's iron and steel industry consists of two main parts: iron ore mining and steel production. Iron ore is rock from which iron is extracted for making steel. The iron and steel industry is a big industry, employing more than 4,700 people in iron ore mining and more than 16,000 in ironmaking and steelmaking. In addition, many people are employed by different companies to manufacture a wide range of steel products, such as pipes, wire, steel for building construction, and sheet metal for vehicle manufacturing.
