Introduction
Indian steel industry has been rapidly growing with expansion and modernization of
steel making facilities to cope up with the increasing domestic as well as global demand.
At the same time, steel makers have faced serious challenges of stringent quality
requirements of the market compelling them to develop smart refractory materials and
suitable refining technologies. At present, expectation of the market has been
increasing with the demand of quality steel, in cleanliness level with respect to impurity
and gas content less than 30 ppm, particularly in some grades for critical applications.
The role of refractory and secondary refining becomes vital for this purpose. Thus, it
becomes the need of the hour to keep abreast with latest innovations and
developments in various fields like raw materials for refractories, new generation
refractories, functional refractories, monolithics, nanotech refractories, pretreatment of
hot metal, converter steel making, secondary refining, continuous casting, inclusion
engineering, process modeling/simulation and special steel making.
In view of the above, R&D Centre for Iron and Steel (RDCIS), the corporate research
unit of Steel Authority of India Ltd. (SAIL), in association with Centre for Engineering &
Technology (CET), SAIL and MECON Limited is organising an International Conference
on Advances in Refractories and Clean Steel Making (ARCS13) during June 26 to 28,
2013 at Ispat Bhawan, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India. The Conference is organised under the
aegis of Indian Ceramic Society, Subarnarekha Chapter, Ranchi in association with
Indian Institute of Metals, Ranchi Chapter with the theme Challenges & Opportunities
in Refractories and Clean Steel Making. It is planned to discuss more than 100
technical papers from all around the world on different topics related to refractory and
steel making. Eminent technologists are invited from different corners of the globe to
share their valuable experiences in the above diverse fields. The Conference will
provide unique opportunity for technical and business discussions to the technology
providers, equipment suppliers, steel makers, researchers, academicians, consultants,
refractory suppliers, flux manufacturers, managers, students, and others. Details of the
Conference is also available at the Conference website www.arcs13.com
ARCS13 is being organised by R&D Centre for Iron and Steel (RDCIS) in its pristine
premises at Ranchi. RDCIS is the corporate R&D Centre of Steel Authority of India
Ltd. (SAIL), the largest steel producer in India. It employs more than 250 scientists and
engineers and is a premier research organisation in the field of ferrous metallurgy.
The Centre is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic and testing facilities as well

as with pilot scale laboratories. The major efforts of RDCIS are directed towards process
innovations, product development, cost reduction, quality improvement in different
SAIL plants. The Centre pursues a number of collaborative research programmes with
leading institutions in India and abroad. RDCIS also offers consultancy, specialised
testing services, contract research and training assistance to various external
organisations.
RDCIS has a dedicated group of Refractory and Steel Technologists who are undertaking
valuable research projects for improving refractory lining, primary steel making,
secondary refining and continuous casting. Scientific research is carried out in various
areas of refractory and steel making such as raw materials for refractory, BOF and ladle
lining life improvement, refractories for tundish, desulphurisation, dephosphorisation,
deoxidation, nitrogen control, inclusion engineering, special steel making, tundish
metallurgy and casting. A dedicated laboratory, which is equipped with a state of the art
experimental heat making furnaces, is used for developing new steel products and for
optimisation of steel making parameters.
ARCS13 will be dealing with various innovations in Refractory and Steel Making
Technology for enhancing the performance of Steel Industries. In addition to this,
deliberations will be made on some other topics of fundamental nature and of
general interest. Some of the broad areas to be covered in technical sessions are:
