Description
Short description:
Decarburisation: Evaluate carbon removal reactions and process controls in molten steel via simulation and analysis.
Long description:
This module offers a comprehensive analysis of decarburisation processes in steelmaking, focusing on both thermodynamic and kinetic mechanisms. Learners will examine how varying carbon levels impact steel properties, explore chemical reactions underpinning carbon removal, and evaluate how pressure and temperature affect decarburisation efficiency. Through scenario-based learning and simulation, participants will apply theoretical knowledge to assess degassing techniques and optimize oxygen-carbon control in molten steel environments.
What you will learn
- Analyze the chemical principles governing decarburisation reactions in molten steel.
- Evaluate the influence of pressure and temperature on carbon removal efficiency.
- Compare degassing methods used in controlling carbon and oxygen concentrations.
- Interpret thermodynamic data to model decarburisation outcomes under varying conditions.
- Apply kinetic theory to predict reaction rates during steel refining.
- Assess the impact of decarburisation on final steel composition and quality.
