Iron and Steel Making is the subject of semester IV of Anna University B.E Material Science And Engineering Syllabus. In this article, we are glad to provide the syllabus of iron and steel making part of Semester IV Subjects in the first-year course.
We intend to provide the subject code ML3402 – Iron and Steel Making syllabus based on regulation 2021 by Anna University. You can get an idea of the topics in the syllabus of iron and steel making. We hope that the absolute idea on the syllabus will assist the students in avoiding confusion of revision according to weightage. We also include required textbooks and references. If you require anything regarding the syllabus you can comment in the below section. Hope you like this information. Don’t forget to share.
If you want to know more about the syllabus of B.E. Material Science And Engineering connected to an affiliated institution’s four-year undergraduate degree program. We provide you with a detailed Year-wise, semester-wise, and Subject-wise syllabus in the following link B.E. Material Science And Engineering Syllabus Regulation 2021 Anna University.
Aim Of Objectives:
The main learning objective of this course is to prepare students for:
- Acquiring the basic knowledge on the need for the beneficiation of iron ores and the different preliminary treatments given to the iron ores.
- Discussing the various parts of blast furnace and the reactions that take place in the various zones of blast furnace.
- Understanding the principles and kinetics of pig iron production as well as steel making.
- Getting insight on the various primary and secondary processes employed for making of steel.
- Producing the different types of steels by adopting the ladle metallurgy technique.
