Image of the patent of the furnace
The Flodin process is a direct reduction process for manufacturing iron, developed by Gustaf Henning Flodin from Sweden and patented in 1924.
Using a specially constructed electric arc furnace, a mixture of hematite and coal is smelted in a continuous process, with the reduced metal accumulating at the bottom of the furnace, where it can be tapped off.
