Steelmaking Refractories – A Practical Training Seminar
Advertisement
About the Program
Steelmaking refractory maintenance is vital to both productivity and safety in a meltshop and caster. It is important for those involved to have a thorough understanding of the basic concepts of refractory system design. Consultants, suppliers and recognized industry experts have developed a curriculum to educate attendees on the following topics: refractory raw material selection; properties of refractories, application and limitations of refractories; theory and application of insulation; design and application of stir plugs, lances and slidegates; free opens, refractory handling, installation and preheating; ladle secondary steelmaking — LMF; and casting requirements and wear mechanisms.
Presentations will provide data from steelmaking operations, and attendees will benefit from the practical experience of the presenters, including the application of the latest tools and techniques being used. Open discussions will allow participants to gather additional information and network with attendees and instructors.
Who Should Attend
This conference is intended for steelmaking operations personnel, maintenance and supervisory employees. Refractory suppliers and service suppliers should also attend. The AIST Ladle & Secondary Refining and Refractory Systems Technology Committees strongly believe that this course provides the basic knowledge for a better understanding of steelmaking, refractory and insulating systems.
