COURSE OVERVIEW

 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 is designed to provide participants with the operational aspects of basic steel making processes and procedures. Topics covered include the history modern steel making and types of steel covering the attributes, effect of impurity elements, historical perspectives and present status of steel industry. 

 

Th  e course will discuss the modern steel making along with its concepts in terms of primary steelmaking, secondary steel making, continuous casting and thin strip casting as well as the final finishing operation. Equilibrium between phases which are activity solution-Raoult’s Law and Henry’s Law-Interaction parameter as the science based of steel making will all also be discussed. 

 

Participants will be able to identify the role of slag in  steelmaking; the physico-chemical properties of slag; the steel making reactions like oxidation reactions, iron oxidation and oxidation of silicon; the oxidation of manganese and carbon; dephoshorization reaction; the refractory materials; the converter steelmaking; availability of oxygen and ladle metallurgy. 

 

Further, participants will be able to perform the top blowing steelmaking; distinguish BOF steelmaking, EAF steelmaking and strainless steelmaking; employ solidification casting and finishing operations and design a physical model for fluid flow in steel melt.
