Iziko lobushushu leminerali lisetyenziselwa ukusulungekisa ores, i-reductants kunye nezinye izinto ezikrwada kwiziko lombane, kugxininiswe ekuvelisweni kweentlobo ezahlukeneyo zealloys ezisekwe kwintsimbi, njengeferrosilicon, isilicon yeshishini, iferromanganese, iferrochrome, iferrotungsten, ialloys silicomanganese, kunye neferronickel. , njl., ezisetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwishishini le-metallurgical ukuphucula ukusebenza kwezinto zetsimbi.

Isithando somlilo sanamhlanje seminerali samkela uhlobo oluvalwe ngokupheleleyo, esona sixhobo siphambili sibandakanya umzimba wesithando somlilo, ihood ephantsi yomsi, inkqubo yokukhupha umsi, umnatha omfutshane, inkqubo ye-electrode, inkqubo yehydraulic, inkqubo yokukhupha i-slag kwintsimbi, inkqubo yokupholisa phantsi kwesithando somlilo, i-transformer njalo njalo. .
