Hot metal produced at blast furnace is collected in a container called torpedo which transports the hot metal to steel melting shop for further processing to convert this into steel. In this course, students will learn and explore both fundamental and technical details related to hot metal torpedo tilting operations, process and method of maintenance, and their properties and applications.
This module will help the participants to learn about the construction and physical characteristics of the torpedo which is the prime equipment in hot metal logistics. Participants will also learn about the operating and maintenance philosophy of torpedo so that it can handle hot metal at 13000 C.
