Job Description

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.
