Description
Designed for technical trainees, process engineers, and maintenance professionals in the steel industry, this course offers a comprehensive introduction to Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steelmaking. The program covers the complete EAF production cycle—from scrap selection and furnace charging to melting, slag management, tapping, and alloy additions. Each module builds foundational knowledge of equipment, process stages, energy inputs, and operational strategies that improve safety, quality, and efficiency. Learners will analyze power cycles, understand burner systems, explore basket configurations, and evaluate slag chemistry in interactive and scenario-based formats. This course is ideal for individuals entering melt shop roles or upskilling in electric steel production within a modern, sustainable manufacturing environment.
