Primary steel manufacturing is nearly as old as human civilization dating back to the preindustrial days of crucible steel production. However, the industrial revolution accelerated the mass production of steel through the Bessemer process in mid-1800’s. Since then, innovations have continued to fuel the rapid expansion of global steel making capabilities and capacities. But the fundamental principle of steel making has remained unchanged through these times.
This webinar will cover the basic aspects of modern-day steel production and its evolution over time. It will highlight the metallurgical principles driving these processes including a discussion of potential future steel production methods. The presentation will introduce the concept of different steel types with a focus on the development of High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) steels. The discussion will include the drivers behind the development, typical applications, and future direction of HSLA steels.
