SMU Steel 201 Workshop Schedule
Written by John Packard
Steel Market Update is taking registrations for our first Steel 201: Introduction to Advanced High Strength & Other New Steels Workshop, which will be held at AK Steel’s new Research and Innovation Center on Sept. 11-12, 2018, in Middletown, Ohio.
This will be a special experience for those wanting to learn more about how steels are made and, perhaps more importantly, how steel mills work with customers to create new steels to make specific parts. We will walk through the process with AK Steel at their new Research and Innovation Center (RIC) and we will tour the AK Steel Middletown steel mill. We will have Dean Linders, Vice President of Red Bud Industries, as a new instructor discussing the difficulties in processing new steels and what equipment manufacturers have learned about working with these new products. He will join existing SMU Steel 101 metallurgists/instructors, AK Steel metallurgists and their commercial team to provide a unique experience for those attending.
