The Hydrogen-Carbon Centre at Montanuniversität Leoben was inaugurated in October of this year. The Chair of Ferrous Metallurgy is also involved with two research facilities: a multi-cathode furnace and an arc-based plasma pyrolysis system. The multi-cathode furnace allows us to conduct research into fundamental to industrial-scale issues on a pilot plant scale. The furnace`s [...]
The renowned CALPHAD conference took place in Mannheim from 26 to 31 May this year. The conference included lectures on computer coupling of phase diagrams and thermochemistry with the aim of applying computational thermodynamics in industrial processes. Our doctoral students Robert Littringer (Chair of Ferrous Metallurgy) and Daniel Kavic (K1-MET GmbH) were awarded for their [...]
