PROJECT PROFILE : M. S. INGOTS

INTRODUCTION

Mild steel ingots are the basic raw material for manufacturing various types of rerolled products. With the increased infrastructural activities in the country, the demand for mild steel ingots are very high now-a-days.

MARKET POTENTIAL

The demand for steel is bound to grow with the boom in construction, housing and infrastructural projects. With our Govt. policy to give more stress to the infrastructural development of the country, the construction has reached its boom. Moreover, the housing sector is growing very fast. The projected demand for finished steel set-up by Govt. of India and I.C.R.A. on Iron & Steel Industry is given as under.

		I.C.R.A.	(In Thousend Tonns)
Years	Govt. of India	High Scenario	Low Scenario
2001-02	16500	18000	15500
1006-07	24640	25600	12950

Considering the rate of increase of demand it is expected that M.S.Ingot manufacturing unit will perform well and will have no difficulty to market its products.

TECHNICAL ASPECTS

(i) Process of manufacture

M.S. Scrap of predetermined composition is melted in Induction furnace and Liquid hot metal is transferred in pouring ladle. From pouring ladle the liquid metal Is transferred into ingot moulds. The ingot moulds are placed on the bottom plate at the correct position. Ingot moulds are C.I.Moulds placed with larger cross section at bottom. The central trumpet which receives the liquid metal is lined with bricks inside. General practice is to use three sets of bottom plates with moulds. Ingot moulds are cleaned from rust and dust from the inner surface with compressed air and suitable coating of graphite powder is given inside for easy removal ingot moulds. After the hot metal gets solidified, the ingot moulds are removed by crane. The ingots are then knocked out and transferred to cooling area for . Any surface defect if observed is removed by grinding, chipping etc. Ingots are batch marked of grade/heat number and stocked for dispatch. induction melting of steel uses pig iron and sponge iron as charge material in the project report.
The most commonly used ingot mould sizes for ingot production are 3”x4”x60” 3 ½”x4 ½”x60”.

(ii) Quality Specification:

IS: 8952’95 – Specification of steel ingots, blooms and billets for production of mild steel wire rods for general engineering purposes.
