Open for the climate: Production of fossil-free steel II

Production of Fossil-Free Steel II providing professionals with deeper insights into sustainable steelmaking methods, including scrap recycling.

You will explore advanced topics like quality control, focusing on casting and thermomechanical processes, and the theoretical aspects of metalworking. By the end of the course, you will be able to critically evaluate traditional steelmaking methods in terms of their environmental impact, compare them with new fossil-free methods, and predict how different thermomechanical processes affect steel properties. This course is designed for professionals aiming to advance the development of sustainable steel production.
