Iron and steel are the most researched and important metallic materials for modern and sustainable development. For energy, environmental, transportation, construction and other issues, users continuously demand new types of steel that provide the desired application properties. This is the reason for the continued development of new innovative processes of production of steel and other ... Read more
The majority of steel produced in Slovenia and in the world is continuous casted. Special steels and ingots for special products are cast in blocks. For good quality casted semi products, a good quality melt is needed. Students will be able to prepare a melt appropriate for further continuous or block casting. On the basis of chemical ...
