MATLS 4C03/6C03 MODERN IRON AND STEELMAKING
Theory and practice of iron making. New processes for reduced energy consumption and pollution. Thermodynamics and kinetics of steelmaking. Steel refining. Casting, including new near net shape technologies. Specialty steelmaking.
Three lectures; first term Prerequisite(s):Registration in final or penultimate year of any Materials Engineering program or permission of instructor Corequisite(s)MATLS 3F03
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
At the conclusion of this
course, the student should be able to:
Describe the main processes for iron and
steel making, and understand the theoretical
basis of each process.
Carry out a heat and mass balance analysis
for major iron and steel making processes and
use the result to determine the most suitable
process in a given set of circumstances.
Use thermodynamic calculations to assess the
effectiveness of different steel refining processes
and to determine the most appropriate point
in the process to remove, or add a particular
element.
RELEVANCE TO OTHER COURSES:
This course will draw on many of the concepts
and methods introduced in the Thermodynamics courses,
MATLS 2B03, 2D03 and 3C04, and will employ
the generic principles introduced in MATLS 3F03
in the detailed analysis of materials processing.

Academic Dishonesty Policy
"Academic dishonesty consists of misrepresentation by deception or by other fraudulent means and can result in serious consequences, e.g. the grade of zero on an assignment, loss of credit with a notation on the transcript (notation reads: "Grade of F assigned for academic dishonesty"), and/or suspension or expulsion from the university.
It is your responsibility to understand what constitutes academic dishonesty. For information on the various kinds of academic dishonesty please refer to the Academic Integrity Policy, specifically Appendix 3, located at http://www.mcmaster.ca/senate/academic/ac_integrity.htm
In this course, they are:
Plagiarism, e.g. the submission of work that is not one's own
Improper collaboration in group work. There is no group work. Assignments are to be done individually.
Copying or using unauthorized aids in tests and examinations.
