The competitiveness and productivity of the iron-making industry relies significantly on the operational lifetime of the blast furnace. Specific attention has to be paid to the hearth, since its refractory wear is often decisive for campaign length. Wear and skulling of the hearth are closely re...
The aim of this project was to provide understanding of emissions and environmental impacts of fine (inferior 2.5 μm) and ultrafine (inferior 0.1 μm) particulate matter (PM) from iron and steelmaking processes enabling abatement strategies to be focused in the most appropriate areas. This is nee...
A carbon steel grade and two stainless grades : AISI 410 and AISI 304 have been submitted to static and dynamic corrosion tests in pressurized water, at temperatures ranging from 200 to 350 °C. Apart from temperature, the influence of other parameters was investigated; these are : renewal and ci...
