FMH3909 Clean Steel with Focus on Tundish Technology

Admitted to doctoral studies, in the subject of technical materials science.

In-depth knowledge with respect to the manufacturing of clean steel with a focus on non-metallic inclusions as well as tundish technology.

After completing the course, the student should know:

• What size and shape of inclusion are harmful for mechanical properties of steel
• The main sources of inclusions in steelmaking
• Mechanisms that favour the separation of inclusions from molten steel
• Equations that can be used to predict the separation rate of inclusions
• Technological solutions for minimizing inclusions in the production of pure steel.
