Valedictory function of the Professional Training programme (PTP) on Experimental Techniques in Iron and Steelmaking (ETIS 2019) was organised by CSIR-National Metallurgical Laboratory, Jamshedpur at Lecture Hall of CSIR-NML.
During the four-day professional training programme, 4 lectures by experts, 8 lectures by NML Scientists and 9 demonstration/hand on sessions were conducted for the delegates from organizations such as Veerabhadrappa Sangappa & Company (Karnataka); DMRL (Hyderabad); Tata Steel BSL (Orissa); JAMIPOL (Jamshedpur); RINL (Vishakhapatnam); Supreme Metallurgical Services Pvt. Ltd (Indore); CSIR-CIMFR (Dhanbad); AcSIR (CSIR-NML Jamshedpur); OPJIT (Raigarh); Vesuvius Refractories (Kolkata); Govt. College of Engineering (Salem); JSW Dolvi (Mumbai)and MECON (Ranchi) participated in the programme. The expert from IIT Kharagpur, Prof. G.G. Roy delivered a talk on Heat and material balance in ironmaking. Prof. Roy highlighted the importance of charge calculations to improve the efficiency of ironmaking.
Prof. Dipak Mazumdar from IIT Kanpur delivered an expert talk on Modeling & Simulation in Steelmaking. He emphasized in the importance of physical and mathematical modelling of steelmaking phenomena to understand the complicities involved in the process.
Dr. Sanjay Kumar, Sr. Principal Scientist & Head, Metal Extraction Recycling (MER) Division highlighted on the processing and utilization of iron and steelmaking slags.
Dr. Siddhartha Misra, Tata Steel BSL (Angul) emphasized on the defects control during continuous casting process.
The programme was formally concluded by Dr. SK Mandal, Officiating Director CSIR-NML, Jamshedpur. Dr. Mandal appreciated the interest of the delegates for coming to CSIR-NML to attend this four-day professional training programme (PTP) during 10-13 December 2019. He also requested to make collaborative approach as the outcome of this training programme in the area of raw materials, technology of production, environmental issues and challenges related to iron and steelmaking.
Dr. J. Pal, Sr. Principal Scientist, Ferrous Processing Group appreciated the delegates for the active participation during the demonstration session and interaction with the NML Scientist.
