June’s Free Course: Electric Arc Furnace — Start Preparing for steelChallenge-21!
Build your EAF steelmaking knowledge this June — and start preparing for steelChallenge-21.
The Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) is a cornerstone of modern steelmaking — and one of the most important technologies supporting the circular economy in steel. This month, steeluniversity is offering its popular Electric Arc Furnace Course for free!
The course introduces learners to the key processes involved in electric arc steelmaking, where recycled steel and iron are transformed into new steel.
What will you learn?
Through this course, you will build a practical understanding of how an electric arc furnace operates, from raw material selection and furnace preparation to melting, refining, slag control, tapping, and final steel quality.
You will also explore the chemistry and metallurgical principles behind EAF steelmaking, helping you connect operational decisions with their impact on process efficiency, product quality, and sustainability.
By combining theory with interactive simulation, the course gives learners the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a virtual steelmaking environment — an experience closely connected to the skills used in steelChallenge.
Why take this course?
This is not only one of our highest-rated courses in quality and learner engagement — it is also closely connected to steelChallenge, where students and industry professionals from around the world apply their steelmaking knowledge in a competitive simulation environment.
With steelChallenge-21 approaching, this course is a great opportunity to start building the knowledge and confidence needed to take part.
Includes access to our EAF Simulator!
Experience steelmaking firsthand through our powerful Electric Arc Furnace simulator. This industry-grade tool allows you to operate a virtual furnace, adjust key parameters, and see the impact of your decisions in real time — just like in steelChallenge.
Preparing for steelChallenge-21?
This course is a great starting point to understand the EAF process before applying your knowledge in a simulation-based competition. Whether you are just starting out or deepening your knowledge of secondary steelmaking, June is the perfect time to strengthen your understanding of one of today’s most efficient and sustainable steelmaking technologies.
📅 Free access is available throughout June 2026.
