Great MOOC ! It starts by providing an interesting historical insight into primitive and medieval iron metallurgy, tells about steelmaking industry development, and then gives a very comprehensive overview of modern ironmaking and steelmaking technologies by extensively describing the associated processes , equipments and facilities. In such a way that one is given a clear picture of how modern steel is made, from iron ore and coal to rolled steel coils.
The role of chemical elements that take part in ironmaing and steelmaking processes is explained well, making it possible to understand chemical reactions occuring at each process step even if one's own background in chemistry is limited.
Looking forward to take on Ferrous Technology II !
