Hard Skills
AdvancedVacuum Degassing OperationThe ability to operate vacuum systems such as RH (Ruhrstahl Heraeus) or VD (Vacuum Degassing) units to remove dissolved gases like hydrogen and nitrogen from molten steel.
IntermediateSecondary Metallurgy KnowledgeUnderstanding the chemical reactions, deoxidation practices, and alloying techniques required to refine steel chemistry during the degassing process.
AdvancedDistributed Control System (DCS) OperationProficiency in using computerized control interfaces to monitor real-time process variables including vacuum pressure, gas flow rates, and vessel temperatures.
IntermediateRefractory Monitoring and MaintenanceMonitoring the condition of the vessel lining and snorkel refractories to identify wear, erosion, or potential failure points.
AdvancedIndustrial Safety and Hazard ControlStrict adherence to safety protocols regarding molten metal handling, high-vacuum environments, and hazardous gas exposure (CO/CO2).
