A step-by-step guide to running your first heat calculation
Register with your email to start your free trial of 100 heat calculations. No credit card required.
Input your heat number, steel grade, heat weight, tap temperature, target temperature, and furnace type. These define the basis for all calculations.
Enter your arrival chemistry (C, Mn, Si, P, S, etc.) and your target/aim chemistry for the finished heat. The engine calculates what additions are needed to bridge the gap.
Set the alloy materials available at your plant (SiMn, FeSi, FeMn, etc.) with their compositions and unit costs. Do the same for slag formers (lime, dolomite, fluorspar).
Click Calculate. The engine computes optimized alloy additions, slag former charges, desulphurisation, dephosphorisation, deoxidation, cost breakdown, and KPIs.
Examine the recommended additions section by section — alloys, slag formers, predicted final chemistry, process schedule, and metallurgical KPI dashboard.
After the heat is tapped, enter the actual plant figures and press Compare. The tool shows a side-by-side reconciliation with deviation percentages — helping you refine future heats.
💡 Tip: All calculations are decision-support outputs. Always verify results against your plant's actual practice and consult your process metallurgist before charging.
