Smelting steel is referring to the act of - just what it means - smelting steel. It requires a higher level of heat to smelt steel than it does iron.

Today, steel is one of the most common materials in the world, with more than 1.3 billion tons produced annally. I mean, annually.

Smelting steel is often found in MMORPGs usually in the fantasy genre. It is possible to smelt steel in Minecraft and also in RuneScape, requiring level 30 to do so.

Lastly, "smelting steel" is also a slang term for sexual intercourse between two guys because it's more refined than "smelting iron." This bit of slang is very uncommon but is sometimes used by teenagers to avoid having to say 'sex.'
