2. COMPANY DETAILS AND PRODUCTS
 In 1978, SAIL became an operating company.
 Indian Iron & Steel Company (“IISCO”) in 1979, merged with SAIL in Feb 2006.
 Product of SAIL is mainly Steel.
 Steel is an alloy of iron and about 2% or less carbon and usually other elements used as a
structural and fabricating material.
 TMT Bars: - Applications in construction and fabrication building.
 Skelp :- Tube Manufacturing is application of Skelp

4. RAW MATERIAL HANDLING PLANT
 The Raw Materials Handling Plant prepares blend mix for Sinter Plant and also
supplies raw material lumps to Blast Furnaces and Steel Melting Shop.
 There are three wagons tipplers to unload the raw materials brought in rakes
of wagons from various mines.
 R.M.H.P mainly concerned with receiving, loading, storing and processing of
all the raw materials viz. Iron ore lumps and fines, limestones and dolomites.

5. SINTER PLANT
 Sintering is the process of agglomerating iron ore fines (dust) with other fine
materials at high temperature to create a product that can be used in a blast
Furnace.
 It causes the constituent materials to fuse to make a single porous mass.

6. BLAST FURNACE
 Blast Furnace is the main department in
any steel plant
 Furnace No. Name Useful Volume
Capacity Blast Temperature
1. Kasturba 1323 cu m. 1250 T/Day
11000C
2. Kamala 1400 cu m. 1870 T/Day
11000C
3. Sharada 1400 cu m. 1820 T/Day
11000C
4. Durga 1800 cu m. 2340 T/Day 12000C
 The main function of Blast Furnace in
steel industry is to produce pig iron for
steel making by smelting iron ore of
different grades with coke, flux and a
blast of air.

7. STEEL MELTING SHOPS/
BASIC OXYGEN FURNACE (BOF)
 BOF is the core of a steel plant and the tonnage capacity of any steel plant is
normally designated by the tonnage capacity of its BOF or SMS.
 Oxygen is passed through the molten pig iron and thus steel is produced, as
there is reduction in carbon percentage
 The composition of the molten metal of the BOF is as follows:
Carbon: 4.1-4.3%,
Phosphorous: 0.1-0.25%,
Silicon: 0.65-0.85%,
Manganese: 0.7-0.8%,
Sulphur: 0.03-0.04%

8. CONTINUOUS CASTING SHOP
 One of the critical features in the
modernization of DSP is to produce
billets by continuous casting
 Tundish, mold and water spray are
arranged such that molten stream is
poured from tundish to mold and
solidified strand (billet/bloom/
billet) is produced continuously.
 The required length of the strand is
cut by torch cutter.
 There are two machines with six
strands each capable of producing
billets of sizes varying from 80 mm2
to 150 mm2 .

9. WHEEL & AXLE PLANT
 Wheel and axle plant is a special feature of
Durgapur steel plant
 The main customer of the wheel sets are the
Indian railways
 Wheel capacity -42,000 t.p.a.
 Axle capacity -16,000 t.p.a.
 The wheel & Axle plant has the following stages
/ equipment's :
1. Rough Shaping of Wheel & Axle
2. Heat Treatment
3. Testing
4. Maching
Wheel & Axle

10. Conclusion
 The opportunity of getting vocational training at such a famous and
prestige organization is an opportunity of lifetime.
 The training at DURGAPUR STEEL PLANT was very helpful.
 It has improved my theoretical concepts
 “There is a little bit of SAIL in everybody’s life” …
