SMU Steel 201 – Workshop for the Experienced and Inexperienced
Written by John Packard
On Sept. 11 & 12, Steel Market Update, in conjunction with AK Steel, will conduct our first Steel 201: Introduction to Advanced High Strength & Other New Steels Workshop. Everything about this workshop is special:
- It is the first workshop that we be held at the research facility at a fully integrated steel mill (AK Steel Research & Innovation Center).
- It is the first workshop where we are using metallurgists/engineers/management from a mill to assist in the teaching of the course (AK Steel).
- It is the first time Steel Market Update will tour an AK Steel facility (we will tour Middletown).
- It is the first time we will have an instructor from an equipment manufacturer (Dean Linders, Vice President, Red Bud Industries) discussing how to process high strength and other new steels.
- It is the first workshop we have designed to benefit both those experienced in the steel industry and those who are new to the industry.
