In January Michael Bernhard spent two weeks at the Centre for Research in Computational Thermochemistry at Polytechnique Montréal. In collaboration with GTT-Technologies (Germany) the group has developed the thermochemical software and database computing system FactSage. Within his research stay Michael dealed with thermodynamic modeling of the Fe-P and Fe-C-P systems based on new measurements by thermal [...]
The first open house day of the year 2019 took place and was a full success for the study program of metallurgy. With refreshing drinks our visitors had a short overview over the study program. They also learned about what they can expect of studying metallurgy in Leoben. After a short introduction of the world [...]
Kurzbeschreibung und Problemstellung: Schrott wird im LD-Prozess als ein wichtigster Zuschlagstoff neben Roheisen zugesetzt. Schrott dient dabei als Kühlmittel und Eisenträger. Seine Auflösungskinetik wurde bereits des Öfteren unter oxidierenden Bedingungen untersucht. Dabei kam es bei hohen Temperaturen und langen Haltezeiten oftmals zu Verfälschungen der Ergebnisse durch Oxidation der Probenaufnahme. Des Weiteren zeigten [...]
On January 31st a group of 29 students of the metallurgy, mechanical engineering and materials engineering department visited the voestalpine Stahl GmbH in Linz. The trip started with a warm welcome by DI Dr. Peter Reisinger and DI Christian Fürst who both gave an interesting overview of the various fields of competences and the development [...]
The primary focus of this research group are divers questions concerning the cleanness of steels using different experimental and analytical methods as well as thermodynamic and kinetic calculations. The cleanness of steels is an essential quality criterion for a wide variety of special steel applications. Non-metallic inclusions can initiate cracks or other material defects [...]

Development of novel process strategies for thin slab casting and direct rolling (TSDR) The production capacity of installed TSDR plants worldwide amounts today to significantly more than 100 Mio. tons/a. Among these technologies, the endless strip production routes show the highest potential with respect to unique homogeneity in the mechanical properties along the entire strip [...]
To satisfy increasing demands in product quality and process efficiency a comprehensive understanding of the continuous casting process is necessary. Solidification models can help to increase the knowledge about the influence of process parameters on solidification behavior during the casting of steel. The Chair of Ferrous Metallurgy has developed models in one and two [...]
The development of new alloying concepts, the modification of production routes due to the de-carbonization of steelmaking and last but not least, increasing quality demands will additionally stimulate research activities on high-temperature oxidation.During steel production and processing, the product surface is exposed to temperatures up to 1250 °C and a wide variation of oxidizing atmospheres. [...]
3 teams of the Chair of Ferrous Metallurgy participated in the annual USI Leoben Eisstockturnier 2019. While „ESM – Inclusion“ and „K1Met Ultimate“ could not pass the preliminary round, team „Waterboys of ESM“ (Reitbauer, Reisinger, Lammer, Mayrhofer, Preuler) enhanced themselves in each and every round, and made it up to the semifinals in the knock-out [...]
