The MetalDays took place in their 10th edition this year and we could invite 30 students this year to come to Leoben and get to know the study program of metallurgy. When all the candidates had found their way to us at the Montanuniversität, there was a short reception with Prof. Johannes Schenk and the [...]
From 24th to 28th of June thyssenkrupp Steel Europe AG thankfully invited a group of 18 students from both metallurgy and materials science department to the Ruhr area companied by Katharina Kirchheimer. After a bus ride starting in Leoben to the hostel in Duisburg on Monday the students discovered the nearby Landscape Park Duisburg Nord, [...]
Last Monday, the 17th of June, we had the pleasure to welcome 25 students of the seventh class of the BG/BRG Stockerau at our department and institute. The students had the chance to learn about the Montanuniversität Leoben and afterwards could listen to a presentation about metallurgy and the study program. In our presentation, they [...]

The last open house day of the Montanuniversität Leoben of the school year 2018/2019 has taken place with great success. Even though the time of the “Matura” is very stressful, many guest found their way to us in the metallurgy building. In a relaxed atmosphere and with refreshing drinks our guests got insights into the [...]
On the 4th of June three managers and researchers of the United States Steel Corporation from US visit together with two colleagues from Primetals Technology our Chair. The motivation for the visit was to meet Prof. Bernhard as a casting expert and Dr. Presoly concerning the characterization of peritectic steels. Special interest was on the [...]
The HT-LSCM is used to observe surfaces of samples at temperatures up to 1750 ° C. The infrared furnace enables heating rates of several 100 k/sec, the frame rate of 30 frames per second. even enables the observation of dynamic processes at different temperatures or heating rates. Solidification, formation and solution of NMI, phase [...]
The High-frequency remelting (HFR) and spin-casting machine allows the rapid production of laboratory alloys by induction melting under argon protective atmosphere. The turbulent flow from the induction provides an excellent mixing of the melt and the closed melting chamber prevents oxidation. The subsequent (optional) centrifugal spin-casting into a copper mould supports also the homogenization [...]
The tammann furnace is an electric resistance tube furnace from the manufacturer Ruhrstrat GmbH (Ruhrstrat HRTK 32 Sond.) with a maximum operating temperature of 1700°C. With the experimental set-up of the tammann-type furnace it’s possible to investigate a huge variety of steel systems. Since change in atmosphere and alloying in any order is feasible, [...]
