Focus Area
- EAF/IF Performance Optimization
- Secondary Metallurgy Optimization
Short Description
For this project, qoncept provided training in the metallurgical fundamentals and operational practices of induction furnace operations, as well as the secondary metallurgy of ladle furnaces and the VD and VOD processes. The training focused on translating experience-based observations from daily steelmaking operations into a consistent framework based on liquid metallurgy, thermodynamics and kinetics. Key topics included scrap melting in the induction furnace, and the metallurgical processes of desulphurisation (DeS), degassing (DeH and DeN), and decarburisation (DeC). Through guided discussions and worked examples, the training connected metallurgical targets with practical control actions in steelmaking operations. This approach provides a shared technical language and structured understanding to support stable furnace operation, informed decision-making, and reproducible metallurgical results.
