Course content
|
The course provides theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of steel and cast iron production in electric arc and induction furnaces and cupolas. Attention is also paid to modern trends in steel and cast iron metallurgy, which increase the purity of melts and thus the mechanical properties of castings. Overview of lecture topics: 1.Solutions of molten metals, applications in metallurgy. 2.Interaction of gases with solid and molten metal, molten slag. 3.Production of steels in basic EOP, oxidation period of melting, reaction of oxidation period, dephosphorization. 4.Refining of steel on secondary metallurgy equipment (LF, VD/VOD, AOD ...). 5.Continuous steel casting. 6.Teeming of ingots and castings cast. 7.Electroslag remelting (ESR) and vacuum arc remelting (VAR). 8.Properties, use and heat treatment of cast iron. 9.Production processes in the production of cast iron. 10.Preparation of non-ferrous metals and alloys. 11.Aluminum production and melting. 12.Quality control in metallurgical production. 13.Defects caused by incorrect metallurgy.
