Morphology
The meaning 'the process of making steel' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'steel' (the alloy) with 'production' (the process of manufacturing). This noun-compound pattern is common and cross-linguistically regular, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Steel production comes from the simple image of turning raw iron into steel in big hot furnaces, with machines and people doing the production work to make a strong metal. So steel production means the 'process of making steel' in factories today.
