Short Courses "Production of Clean Steels" and "Metallurgy of Long Products" at a Steel Plant

The first course dealt with microinclusions and macroinclusions in special bar quality steels: how toassess them during process, as well as in semis and final products; and conducting BOF, LMF, VD and billet casting operations to keep them under control.

The second one was aimed to some special bar quality products, developing the main issues for its defect-free production in the steeel shop and rolling mill, as well as in the manufacturing steps like cold or hot forming, heat treatment and machining. Finally, the most important aspects related to the specific products performance in use (corrosion, fatigue strength,etc., were reviewed.
