STEEL INDUSTRY DECARBONIZATION
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS
An Impartial View of Steel Industry Decarbonization.
24 OCT 2022 - 9am - 5pm / City Center Rosario, Argentina
ABSTRACT
With the Paris Accord comes the demand for the steel industry to reduce CO2/Green House Gas (GHG) emissions to 0.2Tonne/Tonne steel (0.2Te CO2/Testeel) by 2070. The pressure on Steelmills is incomprehensible since they only contribute 7% of GHG emissions using 8% of the total energy worldwide for an average world emission level of 1.8Te CO2/Testeel (2015). The issue of course is our historical image - one of a very dirty industry - and 70% of the GHG currently is sourced from carbon use – ore reduction, combustion or alloying.
Technically, decarbonization is not the correct phraseology since steel is predominantly an alloy of iron and carbon. Perhaps defossilization is a more apt terminology (coined from the decarbonization session at AISTech 2022).
This course will look at the international steel industry’s decarbonization/defossilization efforts and the challenges thereto.
Key words: Decarbonization, Defossilization, BF, BOF, DRI, EAF, Hydrogen, Zero Carbon, Green Steel, International Energy Authority (IEA), Value in Use (VIU), Metallics.
PROGRAMME
1. Introduction to decarbonization
2. The spectrum of industry decarbonization opportunities
3. The “global decarbonization solution”
4. Challenges
5. Current Status of Decarbonization
6. Summary and Final Discussion

Sara received her BSc(Hons) Metallurgy and her British Steel Corporation (BSC) sponsored PhD in Industrial Metallurgy at Sheffield Hallam University, UK. Her UK cupola foundry, R&D, and Steelmill (Firth Brown Tools and BSC) experience provided a good basis for her N. America career which began with >17 years with air Liquide. This was followed by technology company management positions (Tenova Goodfellow, Midrex Technologies Inc., Linde Gases, Inteco PTI, TMS International) leading finally to her own consulting company, Global Strategic Solutions, Inc. Her involvement in applied R&D, new technology development and knowledge exchange, through networking with industry (especially operators), academia and students, OEMs and colleagues, has led to practice innovations and process optimization, especially for the steel industry. Sara holds 5 patents, has published over 127 papers, seminars and courses internationally and was the 2020 recipient of both the AIME AIST Benjamin F. Fairless Award and the AIST EF technical committee’s John Bell Award.
She is an AIME Oral History participant, an interviewee for the Women in Steel books and is the Institute of Metals, Mining and Material’s (IoM3’s) 2022 Hadfield Medal recipient. As an active member of AIST and ISS, Sara has participated in the BOD, University/Industry Relations, Ironmaking, EAF Steelmaking, DRI Committees and was Chairman of the Process Technology Division and the ISS BOD International Affairs Committee. Involvement in the latter led to IAS becoming an ISS (Now AIST) International Section.

REFRACTORY CASTABLE FOR
IRON AND STEEL TECHNOLOGY
24 OCT 2022 - 9am - 5pm / City Center Rosario, Argentina
ABSTRACT
It is more than obvious that refractory monolithic have distinct advantages in comparison to bricks. It is not too complex to order materials as refractory monolithic do not need a complex production route at the refractory producers’ site and reaction times from the point of order till delivery could be within some days.
They are easy to install and in consequence reduced down times increases the productivity. In further complex structures could be molded inside the thermal treatment device. It is not astonishing that refractory monolithic gained increasing market share since their first appearance in 1913. Today’s market share is about 45 % of all refractory materials.
However, refractory materials, even if they are developed carefully by the refractory producer, always contain a certain amount of risk, as the installation is not as easy as it looks like.
It is inevitable that the engineer who is responsible for relining has a comprehensive understanding how refractory monolithic perform in terms of preparation, installation and first heating. Severe mistakes could already be made during the mixing process, where the mixing energy input, the amount of mixing water and the water quality could already strongly impact the lining performance. An improper preparation causes improper workability and will lead to an insufficient densification. In consequence the lining suffers of reduced service life and the risk of an emergency shutdown is increasing.
Therefore, this course will give detailed insights in the nature of refractory materials and will point out specific material properties that must be well known to avoid mistakes during installation.
Key words: refractory monolithics, monolithic linings, castable processing.

METALLURGY OF LONG PRODUCTS FOR
HIGH STRENGTH APPLICATIONS
24 OCT 2022 - 9am - 5pm / City Center Rosario, Argentina
ABSTRACT
This course covers many of the key metallurgical aspects for manufacturing low alloy steels as long products for high performance applications. It begins with understanding the importance of austenite grain size and how casting, thermomechanical processing, and heat treatment affect prior austenite grain size. The important effects of sulfur are discussed with respect to castability, cast structure, sulfide inclusions in bars, and fatigue performance. The effects of boron and titanium additions on hardenability and impact toughness are described along with supporting research data. The carburizing process and requirements of hardenability and austenite grain size control for both gas carburizing and vacuum carburizing are discussed with reference to alloy content.
PROGRAMME
1. Thermomechanical processing for austenite grain size control in axle shafts.
2. Effects of sulfur on fatigue properties of medium carbon steels.
3. Boron and titanium effects on the properties of medium carbon steels – bars, plates, and seamless tubes.
4. Carburizing steels for economical high performance gears.
