Steel 101 – Steel Making, Rolling & Market Fundamentals
Written by John Packard
Steel Market Update (SMU) has developed an exceptional basic steel training program covering the steel industry (flat and long products). Our two day workshop, which we call – Steel 101: Introduction to Steelmaking & Market Fundamentals – is meant to provide a comprehensive review of the way steel is made by the blast/BOF or electric arc furnace/EAF process, how it is rolled, as well as how the products are sold into the marketplace.
All of our instructors are well seasoned veterans in their field. Within our group we have two metallurgists, three former marketing managers and two consultants/journalists currently involved in analyzing existing markets. Our goal is to share our knowledge but more importantly to provide tools which allow those attending our workshop to continue to learn and be effective in their jobs.
