Hello, I have a general question for the flows of steel-making up to the casting process.

Is the general flow depicted by the image correct? This specific process relies on natural gas reforming to produce H2, which is then used to reduce iron ore. Are there any corrections that I have to make?

It is an explanatory table in broad strokes, I do not see any gross error that deserves correction
