Metallurgist Steel Industry/ TMT Bar

Key Responsibilities:Induction Furnace Operations

• Supervise and monitor induction furnace steel melting process for billets/ingots/TMT-grade steel.
• Determine correct charge mix ratio (scrap, sponge iron, pig iron, ferro alloys, etc.) for desired steel grades.
• Control furnace parameters such as power input, temperature, slag chemistry, and tapping practices.
• Optimize melting cycle time, energy consumption, and metal recovery.

Alloying & Metallurgical Control

• Calculate and supervise alloy additions (Fe-Si, Fe-Mn, Fe-Cr, Fe-Mo, etc.) for achieving required composition.
• Monitor deoxidation, desulphurization, and dephosphorization practices.
• Ensure gas content and inclusion control for sound steel quality.
• Conduct spectrometer analysis and microstructure tests to confirm chemistry and properties.

Quality Assurance

• Ensure compliance with BIS/IS, ASTM, or customer specifications.
• Analyze defects like blow holes, inclusions, segregation, or cracks and implement corrective actions.
• Ensure proper ladle treatment and secondary refining practices.
• Maintain records of heat numbers, compositions, and test certificates.

Process Improvement & Yield Optimization

• Reduce furnace lining wear, electrode consumption (if applicable), and power losses.
• Improve metal yield and minimize skulls, slag loss, and rejections.
• Conduct trials for process modifications, new grades, or productivity improvement.

Team & Compliance

• Guide furnace operators, lab technicians, and shift in-charges on metallurgical requirements.
• Ensure strict adherence to safety, environmental, and ISO/BIS quality standards.
• Prepare daily, weekly, and monthly metallurgical performance reports.

Key Skills & Competencies:

• Strong knowledge of induction furnace steelmaking, charge mix design, and alloying practices.
• Expertise in spectrometer analysis, metallurgical testing, and quality control.
• Analytical skills for heat-wise process control and defect troubleshooting.
• Knowledge of refractory materials, slag control, and furnace maintenance practices.
• Team leadership with hands-on shop-floor coordination skills.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Education: B.E./B.Tech in Metallurgy / Materials Science / Mechanical (with metallurgy specialization).
• Experience: 3–8 years in Induction Furnace steel melting / SMS metallurgical operations.
• Freshers with metallurgical degree may be considered for trainee roles.
