When iron is smelted from its ore by commercial processes, it contains more carbon than is desirable. To become steel, it must be melted and reprocessed to reduce the carbon to the correct amount, at which point other elements can be added. This liquid is then continuously cast into long slabs or cast into ingots. 96% of steel is continuously cast, while only 4000 ingots are cast per year. The ingots are then heated in a soaking pit and hot rolled into slabs, blooms, or billets. Slabs are hot or cold rolled into sheet metal or plates. Billets are hot or cold rolled into bars, rods, and wire. Blooms are hot or cold rolled into structural steel, such as I-beams and rails. In modern foundries these processes often occur in one assembly line, with ore coming in and finished steel coming out. Sometimes after a steels final rolling it is heat treated for strength, however this is relatively rare.

What are examples of joint supply?
joint supply is when the production of one good also results in the production of another. an example of this would be steel and cars. if there is more production of steel, there can be a greater production of cars, as steel is used in the manufacturing of cars.
