1. Collecting Raw Materials in an electric arc
furnace
2. Melting
3. Tapping in the ladle and refining the furnace
4. Transfer
5. Continuous Casting
6. Cutting
7. Cooling
7.  Raw Material: Scrap metal (by means of a
bucket or magnet)
 Scrap metal are put systematically and
methodically unless the furnace is destroyed.

8. 2. MELTING
6/26/2016
1st Year students from the department of Metallurgical
Engineering and Material Science (YTU)
8
 Oxidation process
 Melting point at 1538˚C
 Need to heat till the temperature of 1620˚C
 Molten to get a liquid steel
 An electrical current is combined with
chemical energy to heat the scrap to a near
molten state.
 Forming slag as bubbles on top of the molten
steel is removed
9. 3. REFINING THE FURNACE

Engineering and Material Science (YTU)
9
 When the molten steel is reached to 1620˚C,
the molten steel is poured into the ladle.
 The temperature and the chemistry are
adjusted not to freeze the molten steel.
 The gas, nitrogen and argon, and carbon,
silicon is inserted for its chemistry and quality
control.
10. What is Ladle?
6/26/2016
1st Year students from the department of Metallurgical
Engineering and Material Science (YTU)
10
 Burnt magnesium carbon is the main
ingredient.
 The bricks need to seal with two layers.
 Between the bricks and the ladle, there must
be the poly.
 The molten liquid is very secretive through the
bricks it can harm the harm the ladle.
 Two holes at the bottom: one for the gases
and one for flowing the molten.
 Can use the one ladle for 30 times.

 The molten liquid steel in the ladle is carried
along by the crane to the continuous casting
machine.
13. 5. CONTINUOUS CASTING
6/26/2016
1st Year students from the department of Metallurgical
Engineering and Material Science (YTU)
13
 the ladle gate is opened and the molten
steel is allowed flow in a controlled matter
into a tundish.
 The tundish must be preheated between
900-1000ËšC
 This steel flows into three billet
moulds. The steel billets are formed.
14. 6. CUTTING AND COOLING
6/26/2016
1st Year students from the department of Metallurgical
Engineering and Material Science (YTU)
14
 Molten hot steel billets are cut and cooled to
get the steel billets with the desired lengths by
the customers.
 It is cooled with chemical and water bath as
semi-product.
 125mmx125mmx12m(or)6m
 1.5 ton per billet

Process of Manufacturingsteel billets
17.  Raw materials from steel billets
Usually diameter form between 5.5 mm to
8mm
Two kinds of wire: raw hard wire, galvanized
wire
Need to be descaled the billets before the
billets be ductile

1. Wire Drawing
2. Cleaning
3. Patenting
4. Galvanising
19. 1. WIRE DRAWING
6/26/2016
1st Year students from the department of Metallurgical Engineering and Material
Science (YTU)

 The billets are put through the wire drawing
machines
 Desired customized diameter is being
compressed through dies.
21. 2. CLEANING
6/26/2016
1st Year students from the department of Metallurgical
Engineering and Material Science (YTU)
21
 Not the wire be corroded
22. 6/26/2016
1st Year students from the department of Metallurgical Engineering and Material
Science (YTU)
Caustic baths
• low concentration caustic solutions
• removes any wiredrawing soap residue from the previous
process plus any other contaminants or mild surface rust
Dilute
sulphuric acid
• Remove rust and scales
• Known as pickling process
• For 10minutes
Hot water
rinse
• removes any caustic carry over
Steam
cleaning
• clean which blasts off any final contaminants and flash
dries the wire
• ready to begin the annealing and coating phase

23. 4. GALVANIZING
6/26/2016
1st Year students from the department of Metallurgical
Engineering and Material Science (YTU)
23
 To be galvanized, the cooled wire is passes
through the molten zinc bath between 430-
470°C.
 It passes through the ammonium chloride,
charcoal oil, engine oil solution for best
adhesion property.
 the excess zinc is removed by air blowing.
 Then they are coiled for each wire.
