The goal		To introduce students to the basic principles of the melting of iron in the blast furnace and other products in the respective plants and based on that, training for the process operations in different types of similar reactors for reduction. Production of steel in LD converters, ladle metallurgy and steel casting. Become familiar with process engineering fundamentals, principles of management and control and quality assurance in iron and steel metallurgy.
The outcome		The course provides the necessary knowledge to understand: (1) the process of iron smelting in blast furnace as well as (2) Modern oxygen-converter production of steel and continuous casting of steel. Through concrete examples and calculations, students are introduced to the procedure of solving engineering problems.
