Ezz steel provides training on its steel production process. The health and safety department plays an important role in protecting workers given the hazardous nature of steel production. The process begins with scrap metal and direct reduced iron as source materials that are melted in an electric arc furnace. The molten steel is then continuously cast into slabs or billets and may pass through a ladle furnace. Billets are reheated and rolled through multiple stands to reduce their cross-section before being quenched and cooled. Safety, quality production, and teamwork are emphasized throughout the training.
2. Introduction
Ezzsteel is the Middle East’s leading producer of high-quality long
and flat steel for use in a wide range of end applications. Dependable
products, made to customer and international specifications.
3. HSE
HSE (Health, Safety, Environment)
The Health and Safety department is one of the most important and
curtail departments at Ezz steel due to its role in keeping the
company functioning and operational. Working at a steel factory
requires a great deal of focus and precautions due to the nature of
work. So it was curtail for us to start with this workshop to avoid
putting our lives at risk but also the lives of the workers that are
working at the factory.
10. Continuous Casting Machine (CCM)
Continuous Casting is the process whereby molten steel is solidified into a "semi
finished" billet, bloom, or slab for subsequent rolling in the finishing mills. Prior to
the introduction of Continuous Casting in the 1950s, steel was poured into
stationary molds to form "ingots"
14. Billet reheating furnace
- Temperature in furnace reach to 1200 degree (1:2 hour).
- Reheating of billet use to facilities hot rolling process.
- transport the billet by rolls.
15. Rolling Stands
- Three stages (roughing – immediate - finishing).
- Usage : to reduce cross section of billet by compression.
- Water jet for rolls not for billet.
- Use saw to cut front and end of the billet because of surface oxidation.
- speed of rods 15 m/s.
