The reduction of iron ore fines by means of the fluidized bed technology has become an alternative route in the field of ironmaking. To investigate the reduction behavior of these ores and to improve fluidized bed processes, a lab scale fluidized bed facility has been installed. With this equipment, the process behavior of iron ores [...]
Project Title: Systematic Improvement of Steel Properties by means of Inclusion Metallurgy Project Cooparations: Rian Dippenaar (University of Wollongong in Australia) Project Description: Due to the wide variety of application fields, the material steel is an essential component not only for a continuous technical progress in transportation or infrastructure but also in our daily [...]
Project Title: Characterisation of non-metallic inclusions in Ti-stabilised ferritic stainless steels Industrial Partner: Thyssen Krupp Nirosta – Bochum Project Description: In the group of stainless steels austenitic steels are the most important ones. But due to the often fluctuating nickel price, Ti-alloyed ferritic stainless steels are seen as a competitive alternative, because they [...]
The FE-SEM produces ultra-high resolution images of conductive samples. The microscope is mainly used for topographical evaluation and chemical manual and automated inclusion analysis in Fe-alloys. The JEOL 7200F has an in-lens shottky field emitting cathode (1-30kV) and is assemled with various state of the art detectors. Due to the high optical/chemical resolution and [...]
The SEM produces high resolution images of conductive and non conductive samples. The microscope is mainly used for manual topographical and chemical analysis of Fe-alloys, ores, dusts and slags. The Quanta 200 Mk2 has a high performance thermal emission SEM column (W) and is assembled with various detectors. A special feature of this microscope [...]
