Short Description

This project involved a targeted operational assessment of key steelmaking processes, including melting, ladle furnace treatment, vacuum degassing, and ingot casting. The main objective was to identify weaknesses, improve process consistency, and reduce material losses. On-site observations and expert discussions focused on tapping behavior, temperature losses, alloying steps, vacuum treatment conditions, and casting routines. Notable improvement potential was found in standardization of ingot casting procedures and better control of degassing parameters. All recommendations were based on technical feasibility and aimed at increasing process reliability and efficiency across the production route.
