Phenomena and technology of steel making starting from iron ore: the current conditions of
the steel industries, the reduction of iron ores from thermodynamical aspect, blast furnace,
direct reduction. From iron to steel: case study in electric arc and basic oxygen furnace. The
solidification process of steel in ingot method and continuous casting. Metallurgical
phenomena and processing technology of solid steel: hot rolling, cold rolling, and annealing
process as TMCP (Thermomechanical Controlled Process) for changing the shape and
improving steel quality. The current development in steel, i.e. AHSS (Advanced High
Strength Steel)
Refractory material for industrial application. Refractory materials are available from metal
and ceramic for steel melting industry that operate in the temperature til 1700°C, and for this
purpose the ladle that made from steel (Tm 1535°C) must be coated by refractory material that
can withstand this condition. Ceramic refractory material Magnesia, Alumina, Silica,
Magnesite, Dolomite, Chrome-Magnesite, Alumino-Silicates, binary system, ternary,
quartenary etc. Refractory material will degrade over time, or experience failure that needed
replacement of a new one. Characterization and identification are done based on ASTM
testing standard for ceramic material.
