Inclusions in Continuous Cast Steel and their Detection Continuous casting of steel is an important process for the production of steel worldwide, owing to its inherent advantages of energy saving, high yield, flexibility of operation, and competitive quality of the cast product. With the establishment of the continuous casting as the major route of steel …
Read MoreGreen Hydrogen Hydrogen is the most abundant and lightest element in the universe with the atomic number 1 and an atomic weight of 1.008. It is a colourless gas. It was discovered by Henry Cavendish in 1766. The molecular form of hydrogen, which is of interest as an energy carrier, is the diatomic molecule composed …

Read MoreInclusions in Steel and Secondary Steelmaking Non-metallic inclusions, (hereinafter referred to as ‘inclusions’), are chemical compounds consisting of at least one non-metallic component, such as sulphur or oxygen. In steels, inclusions are an unwanted but mainly an unavoidable phase caused by the content of oxidizing agents in the liquid steel due to the raw material …
Read MoreMagnetic Lifting Devices Magnetic lifting devices are used for lifting and transporting of steel and ferrous metal stock or manufactured components. They are normally installed and used as single magnets or as arrangements of multiple magnets. In all of these cases, they are suspended from chains or wires or otherwise attached to the lifting equipment …
Read MoreProcess Safety and its Management Process safety is a disciplined framework for managing the integrity of operating systems and processes which operates under hazardous conditions and handle hazardous materials. It relies on good design principles, engineering, and operating and maintenance practices. It deals with the prevention and control of undesirable events which have the potential …
Read MoreInclusions, Inclusion Engineering and Clean Steels Inclusions are non-metallic compounds and precipitates which form in steel during its production and processing and hence are the by-products of steelmaking which arise from different chemistries and processes. Inclusions can vary widely in size and composition, giving rise to a corresponding wide range of effects and mandating sophisticated …
Read MoreBriquetting Process and Use of Binders During the various stages of iron and steel production, a number of iron bearing waste by-products are generated. These waste by-products cannot be recycled back as such because of their fine particle size, hence the waste by-products need to be agglomerated. Further, in the present day scenario, stringent statutory …
Read MoreOccupational Health and Importance of a Healthy Workplace Employees of iron and steel plant, despite vast differences in their physical, social, cultural, economic, and religious environments, face virtually the same kinds of workplace occupational health hazards. These hazards are traditionally categorized into four broad types namely (i) chemical, (ii) biological, (iii) physical, and (iv) psycho-social. …
Read MoreAutomation, Instrumentation and Modelling of Continuous Casting of Steel Continuous casting process for liquid steel is a process whereby the liquid steel is solidified into a semi-finished steel product (billet, bloom, beam- blank, round, or slab) for subsequent rolling in the rolling mills. The basic operation of a continuous casting machine is to convert liquid …
