Steelmaking Refractories - A Practical Training Seminar

The Steelmaking Refractories - A Practical Training Seminar is organized by the Association for Iron & Steel Technology (AIST), a global leader in networking, education, and sustainability programs dedicated to advancing iron and steel technology. This seminar is designed for steelmaking operations personnel, maintenance, and supervisory employees, and it will take place at the InterContinental Kansas City At The Plaza in Kansas City, United States. AIST, with its 16,600 members from over 70 countries, offers unparalleled educational and networking experiences aimed at enhancing professional development within the iron and steel industry.During the seminar, attendees will engage with a curriculum developed by consultants, suppliers, and recognized industry experts, covering essential topics related to refractory maintenance in steelmaking. Key subjects include refractory raw material selection, properties of refractories, application and limitations of refractories, design and application of insulation, and more. Presentations will offer insights and data from actual steelmaking operations, allowing participants to learn from the practical experiences of industry leaders and the latest tools and techniques in use today. Furthermore, the AIST Ladle & Secondary Refining and Refractory Systems Technology Committees endorse this seminar, reinforcing its value in providing foundational knowledge necessary for understanding steelmaking processes and refractory systems.In addition to the technical training, AIST has recently launched the Bring Your Own Young Professional (BYOYP) program, encouraging members to promote involvement in the industry among the next generation. Members who bring a Young Professional (aged 30 and under) to the seminar will receive a complimentary gift. All attendees will also receive a certificate indicating the number of PDH credits earned during the course. However, it is important to note that the course is not approved for PDH credits in New York, Florida, North Carolina, and Oklahoma. This seminar not only emphasizes the importance of refractory systems in steelmaking but also fosters a community of learning and development for the future of the industry.
