Excellent, it makes my time grateful, that i spend it to learn about 'Ferrous Technology'. A short course that nearly covers all information about steel making.

It is a good course as I'm from metallurgy background I can tell that they completely explained most of the aspects of Iron and Steel making.

It was much better than I expected. I want to point out that their should be some method to move subtitle from its original position in order to seen content behind.
