Course Description
This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
This course provides an in-depth understanding of Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steelmaking, emphasizing modern practices and metallurgical principles. Students will analyze the EAF melting process with a focus on refining steel, slag chemistry, and refractory protection. The course covers ladle furnace operations, enabling the evaluation and application of secondary refining techniques.
Participants will explore continuous casting processes, delving into casting metallurgy and strategies to prevent re-oxidation. The impact of non-metallic inclusions (NMIs) on steel properties will be discussed, alongside methods to minimize, control, and shape NMIs. Additionally, students will study the development and optimization of ferro-alloys and alloying elements, integrating factors from all stages of steelmaking to enhance steel quality and performance.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the EAF melting using mainly RI; the importance of slag (refining steel and protection of refractories) and process; the ladle furnace; the continuous casting through metallurgy of casting and re-oxidation prevention; the effects of non-metallic inclusions and NMI’s steel properties; the factors from all steel making process; minimizing and shaping control of NMI’s; developing and controlling ferro-alloys and alloying elements.
