Heat Treatment is the procedure of heating and cooling metals to change their physical and mechanical properties without changing their shape. Basically, it is a mechanism for strengthening materials but could also be used to transform some mechanical properties such as improving formability, machining, etc. This module helps you to understand the different Heat Treatment process that is required to change metals' physical and chemical properties. The purpose of this technical e-learning course is to enable you to assess your existing knowledge through a pre-test, then lay out the objectives and demonstrate the process through real-life case studies, simulations, and process diagrams. This course is driven with easy-to-remember blueprints and graphs, making it a memorable learning experience for the candidate. The module takes us through the best heat treatment processes in the industry, demonstrated by TATA Steel's in-house practices.

Metallurgy is the science that explores why metals behave the way they do. It explains the properties, behavior, and internal structure of metals. Metallurgy also describes the treatment and processes that allow us to tailor a metal’s properties to a specific application. As a material engineer study of basic metallurgy will help you to develop, design, and operate processes that transform raw materials into useful engineering products intended to improve the quality of our lives. The module, therefore, explains how to extract the metals for industrial practices.

Combustion is the conversion of a substance called a fuel into chemical compounds known as products of combustion by combination with an oxidizer. Fuel is the backbone of any industry and the knowledge of the fuel properties helps in selecting the right fuel for the right purpose and efficient use of the fuel. The module explains the different types of fuels used in industry and explains the combination of those different fuels for combustion.

Desulphurization of hot metal is an important step in the steel production process. Sulphur in steel negatively influences both mechanical and corrosion properties of the steel and causes hot shortness. A major source of sulphur in the hot metal is the coal used in the blast furnace. As the usage of lower grade coal is being more common, more sulphur is introduced into the hot metal. Thus, there is an increased need for efficient Desulphurization of hot metal. Thus the module explains the importance of Desulphurization in achieving the best quality of steel.

Steel making is the process of producing steel from iron ore and scrap. In steel making, impurities such as nitrogen, silicon, phosphorus, Sulphur, and excess carbon are removed from the sourced iron, and alloying elements such as manganese, nickel, chromium, and vanadium are added to produce different grades of steel. Limiting dissolved gases such as nitrogen and oxygen, and entrained impurities (termed “Inclusions”) in the steel is also important to ensure the quality of the products cast from the liquid steel. The module takes us through the best steel making practices in an industry.

Keeping in view of the increasing importance of Secondary Steel making in Steel making process, the E-Learning module in Secondary Steel making has been made which help in learning following things:- The definition and importance of Secondary Steel making Process flow of different secondary steel making route Basic principle applied in Secondary Steel making process Detail description, working principle and operation of different Secondary Steel making Process This module is suitable for the people who are working in steel plant and its supply chain, wants to work in steel plants and its supply chain or wants to understand the process of Steel Plant.
