Description

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steelmaking, designed for learners and professionals in metallurgical and steel production sectors. Structured across four interactive modules, the course explores every critical phase of the EAF process—from core equipment configuration and scrap charging to power control, deslagging, tapping, and alloy addition. Learners will gain both conceptual and technical knowledge of EAF layout, electrical systems, and operational parameters. The training includes best practices for optimizing energy input, mitigating risks like electrode breakage, refining steel composition, and transitioning to secondary steelmaking. With scenario-based learning and visual demonstrations, this course equips participants to understand, monitor, and control modern EAF processes aligned with global steelmaking standards.

Audience Fit: Technical staff, operators, and early-career engineers in steel production environments, or learners seeking foundational knowledge in electric arc metallurgy.

  • Understand the process to accurately record sample data, including the time of collection, sample location, and any observable characteristics.

Related Occupations

Electric Arc Furnace Operator
Operate and control the EAF in order to produce steel. The operator is responsible for maintaining the furnace's temperature, adjusting oxygen and carbon levels, and managing the feeding and melting of raw materials such as scrap metal and additives. They need to monitor the process closely to ensure proper melting, refining, and composition control, while also managing energy consumption and maintaining safety standards.
