1. 1

   CLO 1: This subject acts as a basic course that fully covers the fundamental principles of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy. students will understand the global technological chain, from the preparation of raw ore to the complex oxidation-reduction reactions that occur in oxygen-converter, blast furnaces and arc furnaces. they will analyze how to control the interaction of liquid metals with resin and minimize harmful impurities during melting. in conclusion, students will be able to systematically appreciate the working mechanism of modern integrated metallurgical plants and the material flow from raw material to finished product.
