Stahl ist ihr Metier
Zum Weltfrauentag möchten wir euch auf einen Artikel in „Die Steirerin“ aufmerksam machen, in dem die inspirierende Frau Susanne Michelic interviewt wurde. Frau Michelic ist als Expertin im CD Labor auf der Montanuniversität Leoben im Bereich Einschlussmetallurgie tätig und setzt sich ebenso für eine nachhaltige und umweltfreundliche Produktion von Stahl ein. In dem Interview erzählt [...]
Observation of Nb grain boundary segregation and Nb(C,N) precipitation on the austenite grain growth by HT-LSCM
In continuous casting and heat treatment processes, the monitoring of the austenite grain size and homogenous size distribution is an important factor for efficient production of high-quality steel. The austenite grain size is a precursor for the final mechanical properties. The right grain size avoids production related issues like hot tearing, creep [...]
Visit ESW Eisenwerke Sulzau Werfen
Our students from the Chair of Casting Research were allowed to take a look behind the scenes at ESW. During a tour of the production halls, they had the opportunity to gain interesting insights into the production processes at ESW. Many thanks to the colleagues at ESW Eisenwerke Sulzau Werfen for this great tour!
Investigation of the CH4 pyrolysis by thermal plasma technology and the properties of the produced carbon
Background: H2 is mainly produced through steam reforming and partial oxidation, which are not carbon neutral and result in CO2 emission. A promising method to produce H2 with zero CO2 emission is the decomposition or pyrolysis of natural gas using plasma technology. Thermal plasma converts electrical power to thermochemical energy and offers [...]
Visit to Breitenfeld Edelstahl
Breitenfeld Edelstahl hosted a group of our master students this week. Following a presentation on the metallurgical background of the production route, the students visited the steel plant, the secondary metallurgical facilities, the casting floor and finally, the remelting and forging shops. Thanks a lot to our colleagues from Breitenfeld Edelstahl!
2022 Fall Conference of the Korean Institute of Metals and Materials (KIM)
From October 26th - 28th Johannes Schenk and Michael Bernhard attended at the 2022 KIM Conference at Jeju Island, Republic of Korea. The event was organized at the International Convention Center (ICC) close to Seogwipo city. In a special symposium focusing on decarbonization in ironmaking and steelmaking processes, Prof. Schenk gave an invited lecture on [...]
