Transforming Steelmaking at Port Talbot
Add to calCrowne Plaza Royal Victoria Sheffield and on-line
In 2023 Tata Steel came to an agreement with the UK government that has paved the way for £1.25bn investment at Port Talbot. This investment will move Port Talbot to being at the forefront of the European steel industry switch to producing flat products from an Electric Arc Furnace. In this talk Richie Hart (Process Technology Manager for Tata Steel UK) will describe this fundamental change for the site which is on a par if not more significant than the transition from open hearth to LD steelmaking, or from ingot route to continuous casting. Key aspects covered will be:
* The drivers for change.
* The US experience.
* The engineering challenge.
* The product design challenge.
* The scrap quality challenge.
