Steel Making
The steel making process follows the ironmaking process in the steel industry. The process focuses on refining molten iron into steel with desired properties.
Impurities like excess carbon, silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur are reduced and alloys are added to achieve specific steel grades.
Some of the sections within steel making include
Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) where high-purity oxygen is used to oxidize impurities, Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) used to melt scrap steel using electric arcs, allowing for precise control of steel composition, Ladle Refining to further refine the steel composition and temperature in a ladle. This section is vital for producing a wide range of steel products with varying properties, catering to diverse applications and hence precise control of parameters like temperature is critical here.
Common problems in steel making include:
- Unsafe operations due to improper system design and manual interventions
- Frequent breakdowns and limited convertor life
- Improper design leading to inaccurate parameter control
- Clogged nozzles disrupt operations.
- Difficulty in achieving control of gases
