Forgers typically use tools called tongs or c-hooks to pick up and handle molten steel. These tools are made of heat-resistant materials like steel or refractory metals to withstand the high temperatures of the molten metal. Special care and skill are required when manipulating molten steel to ensure safety and quality of the forged product.
made stuff faster
Steel wire is made by stretching out a molten lob of steel and cooling it really quick while it is still in its elongated state. The wires can then be twisted over each other to make thicker steel ropes.
yes the first ladle has been proved to be an accident
Iron ore. Bessemer figured out that shooting air into the molten iron would remove the impurities and that made steel.
Foundry ladles usually comprise of a mild steel shell with a refractory lining material. Effectively it is the refractory lining material that allows the foundry ladle to be used with molten metal whilst the steel shell provides support for the refractory. Traditionally the refractory material used to be firebrick, fireclay or even rammed sand. However it is more common for foundries to now use special refractory concretes that have high insulation values and last longer. Examples can be seen at www.acetarc.co.uk Where small amounts of metal are to be cast foundries will sometimes use ceramic crucibles to hold the metal.
Steel. He figured out that if air was blown into the molten iron it would remove the particles that were impurities in the iron. This made steel.
Man made. It starts with iron and air is shot through the molten iron to remove the impurities. After that is done steel is what is left. A man by the name of Bessemer in the early 1900's came up with this method.

Steel is iron with added carbon and other materials. For other materials to mix chemically with the iron, it has to be liquid. Melting iron changes it to liquid.
of course it is it is made from the molten stuff and the molten is made up of gases
