High temperature processing group
Our primary research fields are high temperature processing, bridging the gap between the fundamental study and industrial application for pyrometallurgical production and refining of metals.
Our research interests include:
- Thermodynamic and phase equilibria of metallurgical slags
- Physiochemical properties of high temperature melts, e.g. viscosity, thermal and electrical conductivity, density
- Fluid dynamics of bath smelting techniques
- Development of advanced refractories
- Secondary steel refining and inclusion control
- Microalloyed and oxide metallurgy of advanced steels
