alloying elements. • Refractories are materials that work as thermal isolators and are used to coat critical steel mill equipment such as blast furnaces, ladles, and converters. Their main function is to protect the equipment from extreme temperatures and to minimize wear and tear. •Electrodes constitute an important input in the operation of electric steel mills. • Alloying elements Metals such as zinc, tin, chrome and aluminum are employed in steel alloy production. A steel mill uses industrial
These strategies have been very effective in terms of expanding its resources as well as conceptualization of new technology (using electric arc furnace as alternative to conventional furnace) and improvement of plant efficiency thru equipment upgrades. The usage of the technology has allowed low investment cost for facilities and equipment that eliminated expensive steps in steel making. Also the use of scrap
As mentioned in the introductory part, there are two basics of steel making: oxygen steelmaking and electric arc furnace. Steel manufacturing sites, sometimes-called integrated sites, use blast furnace to refine iron ore into steel. The most basic process applied by most steel manufacturing companies if the Basic Oxygen Furnace to change iron into steel. At the site of production, liquid iron flows into the BOF section where pure oxygen is blown into the iron at very high speed. The oxygen comes
Open hearth processing has become obsolete and continuous casting and the electric arc furnace has been adopted. Information on the world steel industry including growth rates and production is listed in Exhibit 1. Competitive Forces Rivalry in the steel industry is intense and price is the main factor for differentiation among competitors
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE INTERNSHIP Internship is an opportunity offered by various companies to potential students or candidates, called as “interns”, to work in the firm for a limited or fixed time period. Internship offers students lot of exposure to the practical world and provides practical experiences in the industry relating to their field of study. This becomes a valuable experience as it allows us to understand how our studies are applied in the “real world”, and it gives a good

two different routes of steel making, Basic Oxygen Steelmaking (BOS) and Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking (EAS). Basic Oxygen Steelmaking is a primary steelmaking method, in which convert carbon-rich molten pig iron into steel due to oxidizing action. Oxygen was blown into the melt under a basic slag. It is the most powerful and effective steel making method. The converter used for steel making is called as Basic Oxygen Furnace. There is about 67% of steel in the world is produced using Basic Oxygen
Recycling is a process where waste materials are transformed into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to plastic production. Steel is the most important material in construction simply because it always contains recycled
Monday, March 11, 2011, Carbide Industries, located in the Rubbertown area of Louisville, Kentucky, suffered two major explosions and a fire, when water leaked into an electric arc furnace (EAF) and over pressurized, spewing contents heated to 3800 degrees Fahrenheit. According to the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (2013), the furnace ejected
History of Welding The history of welding has traveled from all around the world and has improved so much.Welding has believe to have started from 4000 B.C. and is still going on right now. The people that are making these tools are called Blacksmith and still are called that right now even from many years ago.The role of the Blacksmith was very diverse on how it was not just called a toolmaker but a dentist, or a doctor.The Blacksmith was at the heart of every country and was often thought as
