Association for Iron & Steel Technology (AIST)

Secondary steelmaking refractory maintenance is vital to both productivity and safety in a meltshop and caster. It is important for those involved to have a thorough understanding of the basic concepts of refractory system design. Consultants, suppliers and recognized industry experts have developed a curriculum to educate attendees on the following topics: refractory raw material selection; properties of refractories, application and limitations of refractories; theory and application of insulation; design and application of stir plugs, lances and slidegates; free opens, refractory handling, installation and pre-heating; ladle secondary steelmaking — LMF; and casting requirements and wear mechanisms.

Association for Iron & Steel Technology (AIST)

This two-and-a-half-day seminar provides an overview of melting, refining, and solidification in stainless and specialty steel mills and foundries. Products, process cycles and safety will be discussed along with alloy chemistry, material selection, induction furnace melting, refractories, refining, ingot casting and remelting.

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)

Learn how to take the guesswork out of the manufacturing process, to improve quality and avoid costly mistakes.

Apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) to your designs and perform tolerance stacks through authentic case studies.

Association for Iron & Steel Technology (AIST)

Electricity is everywhere — no steel mill operates without it. Everything from the coffee pot to the lights to the massive surge of energy to melt in the electric arc furnace. This course is designed for those who would like to have a basic knowledge of electrical engineering principles as applied in the steel industry. Attendees will gain a fundamental basis for applying these principles in their everyday work — the terminology, the application, the physical equipment, designs, process controls and automation. The relationship of hardware and controls will be highlighted, and much more.

Association for Iron & Steel Technology (AIST)

Developed and presented with the talented resources of the Continuous Casting Technology Committee, this informative program targets the heart of steelmaking: the frontline operator. The key focus of the program is to discuss the practical aspects of casting slabs, billets and blooms, while introducing the theoretical concepts. By achieving the proper teaching balance, attendee understanding of the process is ensured without the need for a technical background. This course is a must for the progressive, informed and educated steelmaker of the future!

This virtual workshop will give you a comprehensive look at how to perform better compliance risk assessments — an essential element of any compliance and ethics program. Whether your organization already has a mature model in place or is just beginning its risk assessment journey, you’ll learn how to conduct a thorough assessment that will help you identify inherent risks to your organization or issues within your system of processes and procedures. Instructors will utilize numerous examples to illustrate key principles and attendees will have opportunities to work through exercises and examples from the industry of their choice (including healthcare, manufacturing, sales, etc.).

Designed for professionals with some compliance knowledge and experience, HCCA’s Healthcare Basic Compliance Academy is ideal for practitioners who are ready to support, enhance, and oversee a comprehensive compliance program in a healthcare setting. The Academy provides three-and-a-half-days of classroom-style learning that addresses methods for implementing and managing compliance programs based on the Seven Element Approach.

For over two and a half decades, healthcare compliance professionals have gathered at HCCA’s Compliance Institute (CI) to share ideas, learn about the latest compliance issues, best practices, and emerging trends, and make key industry connections to drive compliance program and career success. CI welcomes attendees at all levels of compliance experience, from beginner to advanced, and provides them with the opportunity to earn live Compliance Certification Board (CCB)® continuing education units (CEUs) while enhancing their skillset.

Association for Iron & Steel Technology (AIST) - AIST Metallurgy – Processing, Products & Applications and Plate Rolling Committees

This symposium will highlight steelmaking and casting, hot rolling, accelerated cooling and direct quenching, flatness control, line pipe, hydrogen-induced-cracking (HIC) resistant steels, microstructure characterization, product strategies, as-rolled steels, heat-treated steels, welding, and hardfacing. As-rolled steel applications include wind towers, offshore structures, shipbuilding, and abrasion-resistant steels used in construction and machinery. Heat-treated steel applications include tank cars, pressure vessels, and quenching and partitioning to enhance steel product toughness and wear resistance.
