Malcolm Turnbull has met with Nick Xenophon to discuss the future of South Australia's steelworks.

Senator Xenophon, whose team has won a lower house seat and is likely to hold a number of Senate seats in the new parliament, said after the Sydney meeting the prime minister was "receptive" to supporting the steel industry.

"I'm happy enough - I think we will keep talking," he told Sky News.
