4. Slag
   By-product of heating / melting iron and steel. Consists of oxides and other impurities that are not generally wanted. The process of forming a slag is essential to remove impurities at almost every stage of iron and steel production. A flux such as lime, limestone or fluorspar is added to the furnace and this attracts many of the impurities from the metal. Types of slag are currently used in road surfacing.
