During the summer months, the Chair of Ferrous Metallurgy gives a chance to students of local high schools to get to know the world of iron and steel. Three students, Emilija, Alexander and Robert, receive a one-month internship, thankfully paid by the FFG, and work on our chair. They are involved in different projects, always [...]
This summer the Chair of Ferrous Metallurgy had a visit of four students of the HTL1 Klagenfurt Lastenstraße. The students are involved in projects at the Chair and will write their thesis with us. Two of the students are focused on the planning and construction of an automatic In- and Outlet for the sample material [...]
The new LD-water model should give students a better insight into the process of the oxygen steelmaking using an LD converter. Measurements of the mass transfer coefficient, the penetration depth and the mixing time with different lance tips and various configurations of the bottom purging nozzles will give our students the possibility to get a [...]
Roman Krobath has submitted his thesis "Untersuchungen zur Oberflächenrissbildung beim Stranggießen von Stahl" under supervision of Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.mont. Christian Bernhard and passed his PhD exam with distinction on July 11th. Congratulations!
