Lecture

Steel Manufacturing: From Chemistry to Properties

Description

This lecture covers the main stages in the production of steel, starting from the reception of iron ore and transformation into coke, to the reduction of iron ore in a blast furnace. It also explains the process of obtaining slabs and sheets through cold rolling and hot rolling, as well as applying zinc coating. The instructor discusses the composition adjustments, desulfurization, and the importance of carbon removal in the steel manufacturing process. The lecture emphasizes the functional properties of materials beyond mechanical aspects, such as wear resistance and flexibility, and provides insights on choosing materials based on their properties.
