KTH and the Brinell Centre
invites you to participate in the course
4H5915 Steel production technology
The main aim of the course is to provide participants with the knowledge and skills needed
to analyse steel production.
The target groups for this course are:

People employed in the steel industry as well as suppliers and other people with an
interest to further develop their knowledge regarding the state-of-the art of steel
production technology.

Graduate students in metallurgy and materials science. The graduate students are
required to both follow the lecture series and to carry out a separate project
assignment. The result of the project work will be presented at a special seminar. The
course is a 4 unit course.
We are looking forward to meet you here in Stockholm!
