 Total Quality Management
TQM is an approach to quality assurance that emphasizes a thorough
understanding by all members of a production unit, of the needs and
desires of the ultimate service recipients and a viewpoint of wishing to
provide service to internal, intermediate service recipients in the chain of
service.

TQM, as defined for ISO 8402

Management approach of an organization centers on quality, based on
the participation of all its members aiming at long term success through
customer satisfaction and benefits to all members of the organization and
the society. TQM is the mutual co-operation of everyone in an
organization and associated business process to produce products, which
meet the needs and expectations of customers. Total Quality Management
is both a philosophy and a set of guiding principles for managing an
organization efficiently.

Quality Management
Quality Management has four levels: Inspection, Control, Assurance and
Total Quality Management (TQM). Quality inspection and quality control
rely on supervision to make sure that no mistakes are made. The basic
approach to quality is inspection, detection, and correction of errors. The
next level quality control is to inspect, correct, investigate and find the
causes of problems; and take action to prevent errors from re-occurring.
Both methods rely on supervision and inspection. The third level quality
assurance includes the setting of standards with documentation and also
the documentation of the method of checking against the specified
standards.
Quality inspection, control and quality assurance are aimed at achieving
an agreed consistent level of quality, first by testing and inspection, then
by rigid conformance to standards and procedures; and finally by efforts
to eliminate the causes of error so that the defined accepted level is
achieved.
Total Quality Management is a comprehensive and integrated way
of managing any organization in order to:
a) Meet the needs of the customer requirements.
b) Achieve continuous improvement in every aspect of the
organizational activities

 Production Process
Shyam Steel's Durgapur unit is a automated integrated
steel plant comprising of:
= DRI Unit.
= Steel Melting Shop equipped with Electric Arc Furnace.
= Continuous Billet Casting Unit; and
2) Electric Arc Furnace: Steps involved in an Arc
= Rolling Mill with Thermex system.
It has been setup in Collaboration with World-
renowned companies viz; Concast AG-Zurich and HSE
Germany.
1) DRI Unit: In the Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plant,
production of sponge iron using a solid reductant
involves reducing iron ore (lumps/pellets) with a
carbonaceous material such as coal. The reduction
is carried out in a rotary kiln (which is inclined and
rotates at a pre-determined range of speeds) at a
stipulated temperature (8500C -10,500C). The
inclination and the rotary motion of the kiln ensures
that the raw materials moves from the feed end to
the discharge end of the kiln and during this
movement the actual reduction of iron ore to iron
takes place. The material discharged from the kiln
is taken to a rotary cooler for cooling and the
cooled product is separated from the coal char.
The basic reactions involved are as follows:
3Fe2O3 + CO = 2Fe3O4 + CO2 (1)
Fe3O4 + CO = 3FeO + CO2 (2)
FeO + CO = Fe + CO2 (3)
Furnace can be summarized as follows:
a) Charging: The charge is prepared according to
the proposed chemistry for the targeted grade.
Sponge Iron and other ingredients along with
lime in a close requisite ratio is charged in the
Arc Furnace.
b) Melting: Melting is accomplished by injecting
energy to the charge materials in the form of
electrical energy through three graphite
electrodes. Carbon injected inside the furnace
reacts with oxygen producing CO, which
bubbles through the bath creating foamy slag.
The excess CO reacts with oxygen, converting
to CO2 again generating heat. Oxygen will
react with several components present in the
bath including silicon; manganese; phosphorus
and sulphur. The oxides thus formed will end up
in the slag. In arc furnace charged materials gets
melted at about 1800C.

DRI Plant EAF

12
 Once sufficient charge has been melted and
enough space has been created, second charge
can be taken and the process is repeated. Once
the final charge has been melted and is reached
at melt stage, temperature measurement is taken
and sample is drawn for determining the
amount of oxygen to be blown during refining.
c) Refining: Refining means reduction of
undesirable elements in steel like sulphur,
phosphorous etc and also bringing down the
carbon to required levels.
Phosphorus and sulphur which cannot be
removed in Induction Furnace, can be easily
removed in EAF. Phosphorous is removed in the
early stage of refining. Sulphur is removed as
sulphides in slag and is better achieved during
reducing stage.
Aluminium, silicon and manganese react with
oxygen before carbon to form oxides which
goes into the slag. CO, which is produced due
to the reaction of carbon with oxygen, bubbles
through the bath causing the slag to foam and
has many beneficial effects. The foaming also
helps in bringing down nitrogen and hydrogen
levels in steel. At the end of refining stage
temperature measurement is done and sample
is drawn for analysis.
EAF - Electrodes
d) De-slagging: De-slagging is the process by
which the slag layer above the steel is removed
from the furnace. This process is important for
removing impurities from the molten material.
The furnace is tilted towards the slag door for
slag removal. Phosphorus is transferred to the
slag, during the early stage of the heating while
the temperature is relatively low. The first de-
slagging (at the beginning of refining) removes
a substantial portion of the phosphorous as
P2O5, thus preventing phosphorous reversal to
the metal. Typically during the refining stage,
the furnace may be de-slagged several times.
e) Tapping: After reaching the required
temperature and composition, the tap hole is
opened and metal is tapped into the ladle and
sent to continuous casting unit for casting of
billets. During the tapping process bulk alloys
are added based on the bath analysis for the
desired steel grade. De-oxidizers may be added
to the steel to control the oxygen content, prior
to further processing. This is commonly referred
to as killing of steel. This is done by adding
aluminum or silicon in the form of ferrosilicon
or silicon manganese.
A typical construction of Arc Furnace has shown
below:
Concast
13
 Production Process
3) Continuous Billet Casting: Molten steel from
EAF is tapped into a ladle and taken to the
continuous casting machine. Liquid steel flows out
of the ladle into the tundish and then into a water-
cooled mold. Solidification begins in the mold. The
continuous billets coming out from the CCM is
sized according to the length required.
4) Rolling Mill with Thermex Technology: The
billets manufactured are re-heated at a temp. of
1200C in the re-heating furnace and are rolled
into specific sections of finished material in the
Rolling Mill Unit. In the case of manufacturing TMT
Re-bars, from the finishing stand of the rolling Mill,
the Re-Bars are guided through a specially designed
proprietary Thermex pipes to obtain special
property 'Thermex Process' as explained below:
Quenching: The hot rolled bar from the finished
mill stand enters into the 'Thermex System' and is
rapidly quenched by a special water spray system.
14
This rapid quenching hardens the surface of the
TMT Re-bars to a depth optimized for each section,
forming a Martensitic rim while the core remains
hot & Austenitic.
Self Tempering: After Re-bars leave the quenching
box, the core remains hot compared to the surface
allowing heat to flow from the core to the surface
causing Tempering of the outer Martensite layer thus
forming a structure called 'Tempered Martensite'.
Atmospheric Cooling: This takes place on the
cooling bed, where the Austenitic core is
transformed into ductile Ferrite-Perlite structure.
Thus the final structure consists of stronger outer
layer (Tempered Martensite) with ductile core
(Ferrite-Pearlite). This process increases the tensile
strength of the material while keeping high ductility
and weldability. This whole process is a patented
technology from HSE, Germany under the brand
name of 'Thermex'.

 Inspection Process
Purpose: To conduct inspection, testing, identification
and traceability of materials and products in various
stages of production in accordance with the applicable
IS specifications and customer requirements.
Scope: The process covers inspection, testing,
identification and traceability of the product from
receipt stage, in process inspection and final inspection
till desptach.
Procedure
Direct Reduced Iron Unit (D.R.I.): The sized iron-ore
is tested for its Fe content and coal for its ash content
and is then charged to D.R.I plant. The finished product
of DRI plant i.e. sponge iron is then tested for its Fe
content and chemical composition and is identified by
day wise production.
The conforming material is taken to SMS plant for
charging and in case of non-conformation, material is
sent to rejection yard.
Steel Melting Shop (SMS): In the SMS plant the material
is melted at about 18,000C in an Electric Arc Furnace.
The slag is removed automatically in the Arc furnace
to achieve precision control of chemistry of
the molten metal. The hot molten metal is checked for
its chemical composition. Depending upon the
Control Panel - Universal Testing Machine
16
composition required, various ferro alloys are added to
it. Then the molten steel with requisite chemical
composition from Electric Arc Furnace is sent to the
continuous casting unit for casting billet.
Continuous Casting Machine (CCM): The billets thus
produced are first visually inspected for the surface
condition and then tested for its chemical composition.
If any surface discontinuity is observed in the material
it is then sent to SMS unit for recycling. The tested billet
is then sent to the Rolling Mill raw material yard with
a proper batch number.
Rolling Mill: The billets are then taken for production
in the Rolling Mill. During the production process,
inspection is done at various stages. The non-
conforming products are identified and segregated
properly for recycling. The finished product is then
subjected to final inspection (visual inspection &
physical property) and a Lot Number is allotted to it
before being stored in the finished product yard.
The finished product is properly tagged which carries
the following information:
I. Name of the Company II. Lot No.
III. Size of the product IV. Grade
Control Panel - Electric ARC Furnace
Glossary of Terms/ Definitions Commonly used in Iron & Steel Industry
MISCELLANEOUS TERMS:
Steel Melting Scrap: Steel waste/scrap not usable as such in its existing form which are further re-melted
to produce liquid steel to produce various products. Depending on their form/type, they are classified as
Heavy Melting Scrap, Light Melting Scrap, Turnings/borings etc.
Re-rollable Scrap: Seconds & defective products, cuttings/end cuttings, used steel products like used rails
etc which could be directly used for re-rolling (without resorting to re-melting) into finished products for
specified applications. These are substitutes of steel billets /pencil ingots. Ship breaking generates substantial
quantity of re-rollable steel scrap.
Integrated Steel Plants: Steel plants using iron ore as the basic raw material for production of crude steel
which is further rolled into finished shapes in-house. Conventionally, these plants have captive coke ovens
also and the sensible heat of the outgoing gases from iron/coke making are utilised as fuel for various
applications. It therefore, includes units with in-house coke making (optional), iron making followed by
production of liquid steel & crude steel and finished steel. So all ISPs adopting BF- BOF route and Major
producers adopting Corex-BOF or DRI-EAFor MBF-EOF technology would technically, fall under this
category.
Mini Steel Plants: Conventionally, EAF/IF based steel plants with/ without captive rolling mills were covered
under this category. However, now all steel plants (based on any technology) of capacity upto 5 lakh tpa
are covered under this category.
Primary Steel Producers: Steel (crude and/or finished steel) producers using iron ore as the basic raw
material/input. It therefore, includes in-house iron making followed by production of liquid steel & crude
steel with/without in-house rolling. So, all ISPs adopting BF- BOF route and Major producers adopting
Corex - BOF or DRI-EAF or MBF-EOF technology would fall under this category.
Hot Rolling: Rolling of steel at above the recrystallisation temperature of steel (normally above 1000 C) to
produce Hot Rolled Long products/Flat Products from semis. Ingots are also hot rolled to get semis. At
times blloms are also hot rolled to produce billets. Rolling Mills used for hot rolling are known as Hot
Rolling Mills.
Cold Rolling: Rolling of steel (normally flat products) below the recrystallisation temperature of steel
(normally at room temperature) to produce cold rolled sheets /strips /coils. Mills used for the purpose are
called Cold Rolling Mills.
2Hi/4 Hi/6 Hi/20 Hi Mills: Rolling Mills are classified as 2-High / 2 Hi, 4 Hi and so on depending on
Number of Rolls used in the arrangement/configuration of rolls in single stand. For example, a 2 Hi mill
consist of 2 rolls one above the other known as upper roll and the lower roll. In a 4 Hi mill, there are 4
rolls in a stand2 upper rolls one above the other and 2 lower rolls one above the other.

Complete automation TMT route can produce
the desired yield strength with steel of relatively
lower carbon equivalent by adjusting the on line
Q& T parameters. IS :1786 limits the carbon

 M.S. Billet vs M.S. Ingot
Ingot
In Ingot casting, the liquid steel flows through a
refractory channel & fills up cast iron mould under
static condition from one side. This process has
certain deficiencies. Like:- Refractory particles
chip-off from the channel and get mixed with
liquid steel thereby causing undesirable inclusions
in Ingot leading to rolling defect
The liquid steel during the solidification process
releases gas which gets entrapped in the steel and
form blowholes and cavities in Ingot
Owing to the process of solidification segregation
of chemical alloys takes place. The chemical
properties vary at different portions of Ingot
In Ingot very harmful defects such as center piping,
blow hole, cracks & inclusions etc. are found
The surface of Ingot develop scabs and laps due to
pouring defects on account of bad mould surface
TMT Re-bars rolling from Ingots suffer from
deficiency in tensile properties and there is
inconsistency in tensile strength and elongation
Ingots
20
Billet
In continuous casting technology liquid steel
flows from furnace to caster through a copper
mould. The water in the mould gets cooled and
oscillates at a predetermined rate. The oscillation,
cooling and pausing is done in such a controlled
condition that the liquid steel solidifies
into equiaxed crystals
The gas in liquid steel escapes during solidification
owing to continuous casting technology
In billet owing to continuous casting
chemical alloys are uniformly spread
In continuous casting, no centre piping
blow hole, crack or inclusion is formed
The surface of billet is clear with no scabs and
laps due to smooth copper mould surface
TMT Re-bars produced from continuous casting
billets show high tensile strength and elongation
and there is remarkable consistency of properties
