The lecture gives an overview of what Industry 4.0 means specifically for the steel industry. Starting from the technical core "cyber-physical system", Industry 4.0. is explained along the steel production route – including practical examples.

The challenge that the steel industry is facing are from different aspects like process, efficiency, sustainability and market. One of the key points of this is to convert information into value.

The Breakthrough Technology Conference 2023 took place in Abu Dhabi, UAE, on 5-7 December 2023.

In 2022, on average, every tonne of steel produced led to the emission of 1.91 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. 1,885 million tonnes (Mt) of steel were produced that year, leading to total direct emissions from the steel industry of around 3.6 billion tonnes of CO2, representing between 7% and 9% of global emissions.

The transition to a low-carbon world requires a transformation in the way we manufacture iron and steel.

This course considers how cost savings can be made in primary steelmaking by the application of good operational and technical management.

This course covers how the BOS Converter is controlled during steelmaking to ensure good refining performance.

Casting machine breakout prevention - increasing productivity and reducing costs

These lectures outlines the areas on a continuous casting plant where caster instrumentation can improve the process control.

These lectures considers cleanness, surface and internal quality defects commonly found in continuously cast semis.

The course examines the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) process. How it fits into world steelmaking and its advantages.

The course explores the principles of reheating in the hot rolling process.

Secondary steelmaking is an essential step in the steelmaking process for the production of high quality steels.
