Metallurgy of Steel (FSI-9MEO)

Academic year 2021/2022
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Antonín Záděra, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚST all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech or English
Aims of the course unit:
The objective is to prepare the student for independent calculation work in the area of modelling the processes taking place in the production of steel and in secondary processing. Prediction of manufacturing processes.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Application of thermodynamic equilibria in calculations that are necessary in the production of steel and in secondary metallurgy. Exploitation of simple kinetic relations in the course of metallurgical reactions. In-depth knowledge of applying thermodynamic data from databases.
Prerequisites:
A good knowledge of the subject matter of the courses Metallurgy of steel, Theory of metallurgical processes, and Theory of foundry processes.
Course contents:
Further to the courses given under 'prerequisites' the student will acquire the necessary theoretical foundations for his/her own modelling of physical-chemical processes in the production of steel and in secondary metallurgy.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Oral examination with preparation in writing.
Controlled participation in lessons:
The lecturer assigns to students independent work. Attendance at lecture is required.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  10 × 2 hrs. optionally                  
Course curriculum:
    Lecture 1. Thermodynamics of solutions.
2. Partial molar state quantities.
3. Thermodynamic equilibria.
4. Interaction coefficients.
5. The Gibbs-Duhem equation.
6. Fundamentals of the kinetics of metallurgical reactions.
7. Iron solutions saturated with carbon.
8. Theoretical foundations of vacuum-treatment of steel.
9. Theoretical foundations of the production of high-alloy steels and cast irons.
10. Theoretical foundations of degasing and decarbonizing steel by Ar + O2 mixture.
