Description
Short description:
Basic Oxygen Steelmaking: Explore BOS process stages and history through interactive activities in this self-paced module.
Long description:
This module provides a comprehensive introduction to the Basic Oxygen Steelmaking (BOS) process, a critical phase in primary steelmaking. Learners will trace the historical evolution of BOS, locate its role within the broader steel production cycle, and explore its key phases—from charging hot metal to slagging. Through narrated diagrams, interactive process sequences, and simulated operations, participants will engage with the practical and theoretical foundations of BOS. The module culminates in the learner’s ability to describe BOS stages, identify key process parameters, and evaluate carbon and impurity reduction methods. This foundational content prepares learners for subsequent exploration of BOS equipment and control systems.
What you will learn
- Identify key milestones in the evolution of steel manufacturing and the development of BOS.
- Distinguish the sequential phases of the BOS process, from charging to slagging.
- Explain the chemical and physical transformations during BOS, including impurity removal and temperature regulation.
- Evaluate the function of the BOS in reducing carbon and controlling steel composition.
- Analyze critical and non-critical operations within BOS based on metal characteristic changes.
