The Evolution, Metallurgy and Operational Experience of EAF and SAF Steelmaking
Tuesday, 25 April 2023 • 10–11:30 a.m.
This webinar is intended for newcomers as well as professionals already acquainted with the challenge of decarbonization of the iron and steel industry. After eight webinars, the focus now turns to electric steelmaking eight its own particular challenges.
By reusing scrap, electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking is already far less carbon-intensive than integrated steelmaking, and in recent years energy, materials and processing innovations have further reduced its carbon footprint even as production and quality demands grow. However, these improvements alone are not enough, so newly developed and adapted technologies are continually being examined, developed and adopted into steelmaking processes.
This webinar introduces both the theoretical and practical aspects of this long and complicated journey.

Chrome-Free Passivation of Tinplate for Packaging (CFPA)
Thursday, 13 April 2023 • 9–10 a.m.
Tinplate passivation is the process by which the growth of tin oxide is controlled on tinplate. Hexavalent chromium is used globally for the passivation of steel for tinplate packaging. Control is necessary because continued growth of an oxide layer could impair lacquer adhesion and affect welding. The continued use of hexavalent chromium substances in the manufacture of Electrolytic Tinplate (ETP) is subject to a time-limited authorization permit in the European Union and the U.K. These substances have been identified as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) resulting in their inclusion in REACH Annex XIV (Authorization list). This presentation outlines a CFPA update discusses technical challenges faced during conversion of hexavalent chromium to chrome-free passivation.

Decarbonization 102: Hydrogen Ironmaking — Managing Expectations of H2 Transformation and Its Many Colors
Thursday, 30 March • 1–2:30 p.m. EST.
The future of steelmaking requires changes to achieve significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, using new process flowsheets and technologies such as the use of hydrogen-direct reduced iron (H2-DRI). This webinar will feature two presentations: (1) the orderly transformation from blast furnace/basic oxygen furnace (BOF) to H2-based DRI for electric arc furnace/submerged arc furnace (BOF) steelmaking, and (2) the production, storage, safety and utilization of hydrogen with a focus on explaining the colors of hydrogen.

Strength-Based Leadership: The 10-80-10 Principle
14 March 2023 • 1–2:30 p.m. EST
Delivered in a high-energy, high-content and highly humorous manner, this webinar will introduce attendees to the 10-80-10 Principle, a framework to increase performance and results by focusing energy and efforts on highest yielding activities.
Every person or group already exhibits behaviors that are Top 10 (percent) — those behaviors that lead to high performance and achievement. What people lack is the knowledge and a framework to consistently operate at that dynamic, Top 10 level. The 10-80-10 Principle program provides a methodology to reward and grow Top 10 behaviors and neutralize Bottom 10 actions. The framework has a direct application to employee management and helps to reduce stress and increase fulfillment on the job.
Filled with practical examples and engaging content, this webinar will help attendees identify their Top and Bottom 10 behaviors and then “A.C.T.” with the 10-80-10 Principle to create greater performance levels in both their personal and professional lives. Attendees will learn how to save time by focusing on the right activities, increase team cohesion by increasing output with fewer resources, and create a healthier organizational culture by cultivating and training toward team member’s strengths — which increases job satisfaction and reduces turnover.

Cold Rolling: Surface Quality in Cold Rolling Applications – Corrective Action
Wednesday, 8 December 2021 • 10 a.m.–11 a.m. EST
This session will dig further into the identification of specific surface defects at the production line, and trace back to causes that can be addressed upstream or in-line to correct and minimize affected material. Well-trained inspectors and personnel at the line are key to quickly identifying conditions that may affect final product quality. Having a consistent language to describe conditions and communicate quickly and effectively within the team and back to upstream processes or suppliers will improve efficiency of troubleshooting and resolving surface quality concerns. Understanding what information to collect about a defect and how to analyze for effective root cause determination will support better understanding by the team of potential failure points within the process, and drive problem solving for long-term solutions that prevent recurrence. These topics will all be explored in the corrective action webinar.

Impact of Lip Adjustment on Wiping Efficiency
29 April 2021 • 11 a.m.–Noon
The impact of the lip shape and adjustment is addressed by 2D computational fluid dynamics modeling. The effect on the coating weight and the nitrogen dilution by ambiance is also studied. It is shown that the shape of the tip has a significant effect of the behavior of the air jet in atmosphere. Similarly, the quality of the channel (convergent, divergent or parallel) impacts both the coating weight and the dilution of nitrogen. This means that the quality of the maintenance in an industrial line is as important as the initial design in order to ensure efficient wiping.
