BCoE students visit Severstal Columbus
June 1, 2011
Twenty graduate students in the Master and Ph.D. programs from MSU Bagley College of Engineering witnessed the steel manufacturing process during a visit to Severstal Columbus on Airport Road, Wednesday, September 29. The mechanical-metallurgy engineering students were given the opportunity to watch how the Electric Arc Furnace produced molten metal in a process in which high intensity electric energy passes between electrodes creating an arc several thousands of degrees Fahrenheit that quickly melts the materials.
