Description
Short description:
Gain essential knowledge on inclusion formation, their control mechanisms, and impact on steel quality in ladle and tundish operations.
Long description:
This module examines inclusion formation and control within steelmaking and casting, focusing on the origins, types, and removal strategies for non-metallic inclusions. It explores the physical and chemical phenomena that lead to inclusions during ladle treatment and tundish operations, while emphasizing the role of deoxidation, flotation, and flow control. Through interactive simulations and visual schematics, learners identify key control parameters and understand how inclusions impact steel quality, particularly in demanding applications. By the end, learners gain the ability to propose corrective actions and optimize clean steel production.
What you will learn
- Identify common sources and types of inclusions generated during steelmaking and casting.
- Explain the role of ladle and tundish operations in inclusion removal or entrapment.
- Describe deoxidation practices and how they influence inclusion chemistry.
- Analyze flow control elements in the tundish and their effect on inclusion flotation paths.
- Propose corrective actions based on simulated scenarios of inclusion-induced defects.
