Hello friends of science! As a small change from the stressful study routine, the Metallurgy Students organized a hike last Thursday. With great motivation, we walked almost 10 km for two hours away from the university over the "Slag Mountain" near Leoben, enjoying the fantastic weather. We then returned to the city, where the evening [...]
Susanne Michelic leitet an der Montanuniversität ein Christian Doppler Labor zum Thema Einschlüsse. „Diese Verunreinigungen aus Verbindungen mit Schwefel, Stickstoff oder verschiedenen Oxiden haben in fast allen Fällen negative Auswirkungen. Sie fördern im fertigen Stahlteil die Korrosion und die Bildung von Rissen. Je weniger dieser Einschlüsse vorhanden sind, desto besser ist das.“ Die nichtmetallischen Einschlüsse [...]
