Analysis of Thermophysical Properties of Electro Slag Remelting and Evaluation of Metallographic Cleanliness of Steel.

Improving the competitiveness of steel companies is linked to sustainable, quality-compliant steel production. Therefore, new steel production technologies contributing to increased cleanliness of steel are continuously being developed and optimized. One way to achieve a high steel quality is to use electro slag remelting (ESR) technology. In this paper, the principle of ESR technology and the importance of fused slags for optimizing the process are outlined. The aim of this work was to analyze the main thermophysical properties of steel and fused slags used in the ESR process. Determination of the properties of steel and slags was performed using the FactSage calculation software, which involved the calculation of the liquid and solid temperature of steel and slags, the calculation and construction of quaternary diagrams, and the calculation of viscosity. The resulting quaternary diagrams revealed the substantial influence of chemical composition on melting temperatures of slags. In order to validate the acquired results, a CrNiMoV-type steel was subjected to investigation of its metallographic cleanliness and evaluation of its mechanical properties; the ESR process was shown to significantly improve the cleanliness of the steel and improve the mechanical properties of the steel compared to its cleanliness and quality when produced via vacuum degassing (VD) technology. During the ESR process, the average size of non-metallic inclusions was reduced from 20 μm to 10 μm, and the maximum size of non-metallic inclusions was reduced from 50 μm to 28 μm. The mechanical properties of the steel produced using ESR technology were impacted as follows: the ductility increased by 10%, contraction increased by 18%, notched toughness at 20 °C increased by 46%, and at -40 °C (respectively -50 °C) it increased by 30%.

ADOPTION OF STRATEGIC DECISIONS AT THE ENTERPRISE

The process of determining the best way to achieve goals and objectives is called strategic decision making. These are long-term goals and objectives, as well as strategic decision-making tools, that help describe the company's primary goals in order to achieve short-term goals with a broad mission. In the long run, the company gains clarity and consistency in achieving its goals. Strategic decision-making is used in competitive companies to give the company a competitive advantage by changing its scale and the way the company manages its operations. The difference between strategic decision-making and other decision-making processes, such as administrative and operational decision-making, is that strategic decision-making is a long-term process that requires significant resources and is fraught with uncertainty. Administrative decisions are based on short-term goals. Unlike other decision-making processes, strategic decision-making considers the long-term future of the company. Successful business managers do more than just make money and sell products. They not only perform day-to-day sales tasks, but also look at the big picture and make decisions that will lead the company to its desired goal. This is known as strategic decision making, and it occurs when decisions are made in line with the company's goals or mission. This type of decision-making directs the choices made, aligning them with the company's goals. This requires creative thinking as managers must consider future scenarios that may or may not occur. These scenarios will determine the direction of the company's development. Business strategy is a competitive advantage. Businesses need strategies to ensure that resources are allocated in the most efficient way. There has been much research on strategies and much literature outlining the importance of strategies for successful business management. The word "strategy" is probably one of the most used words in business and everyday life [26]. According to Schendel, there are many preparation strategies in the business world for almost every potential activity, from employee management strategies to knowledge management strategies. At first glance, we have the idea that strategy is something simple that refers to the use of resources to realize pre-planned goals. But in practice, strategies differ in terms of time, and its formulation and implementation cannot be perfect. When a firm earns earnings above the average for its industry, the firm is said to have a competitive advantage over its rivals.
