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. 

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.

Bulk Material Handling is an engineering field that is centered on the design of equipment used for the handling of dry materials. Bulk materials are those dry materials that are powdery, granular, or lumpy in nature and are stored in heaps. Examples of Bulk Materials are minerals, ores, coal, cereals, woodchips, sand, gravel, clay, cement, ash, salt, chemicals, grain, sugar, flour, and stone in loose bulk form. It can also relate to the handling of mixed wastes. Bulk Material Handling is an essential part of all industries that process bulk ingredients including food, beverage, confectionery, pet food, animal feed, tobacco, chemical, agriculture, polymer, plastic, rubber, ceramic, electronics, metals, minerals, paint, paper, textiles and more.

Steel Making can be divided into three parts. Primary Steel Making, Secondary Steelmaking, and Casting. The secondary Steelmaking Process is the process where final refining and finishing treatment is done after primary steelmaking to achieve the required quality of Steel. With the increase of stringent quality requirements of steel, the role of secondary steelmaking in steelmaking is getting more important. Keeping in view of the increasing importance of Secondary Steelmaking in the Steelmaking process, the E-Learning module in Secondary Steelmaking has been made which help in learning the following things:- The definition and importance of Secondary Steelmaking Process flow of different secondary steelmaking route Basic principle applied in Secondary Steelmaking process Detail description, working principle and operation of different Secondary Steelmaking 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.
