This report describes the production of EURM 800 and EURM 801, stainless steel disks containing a certified value for the massic activity of 60Co. The material was produced following ISO 17034 [1]. The material was produced at a contractor site. After the production the material was shipped to t...
This report reflects the presentations and deliberations during the European conference entitled 'Steel and Coal: a New Perspective', which took place in Brussels on 28 March 20191. Hosted by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD), the event gathered 1...
Coal liquids (i.e., coal tar and anthracene oil) were successfully used to prepare graphene materials. Impregnating tars and binder tars with various chemical compositions and various primary quinoline insoluble (QI) content were polymerized and transformed into a pitch, which was subsequently c...
The aim of this research project was the development and installation of online monitoring systems for stirring plugs in steel ladles in order to determine and predict their availability and performance for stirring processes. Temperature measurement techniques were developed and adapted to the ...
This report describes the production of ERM-FD069, which is a corundum material certified for the particle size distribution as determined by laser diffraction (ISO 13320) and optical microscopy (ISO 13322). This material was produced following ISO Guide 34:2009 and is certified in accordance wi...
This project was directed to high strength boron treated steels. Different processing routes have been addressed: Hot rolling followed by Q&T for plates and strips, direct quenching and subsequent tempering for plates and cold rolled and annealed sheet steels. The aim of this work is obtaining a...
Following the necessary car weight reduction strategy, in order to minimize the fuel consumption and reduce the CO2 emissions, there are many technical approaches to reduce the weight of each one of the vehicle components. The STT project (Steel Tailored Tubes) explored the potential of tube tai...
The aim of the CrFreeRolls project to find a solution to a threat arising in cold rolling and especially in skin-passing. For long hard chrome plating has been introduced to enable high consistency of the roughness of the strip after skin-pass. This result is obtained owning to the hardness and ...
iConTens project is focused on developing multi-physics process models for different leveller types for automated auto-adaptive set-up and advanced on-line control of flatness and residual stress using intelligent soft sensors predicting residual stresses and flatness. Bending processes around d...
Composite structures are gaining importance due to economic and versatile applications. A new form of shear transmission – composite dowels – permits to design composite girders without an upper steel flange and with enduring shear connection. The composite dowel is produced by cutting a rolled ...
