CD Laboratory for Reactive Flows in Green Steel Production and Refinement

Key process stages in green steel production and downstream processing: electric arc furnace (EAF), continuous casting (CC), and electroslag remelting (ESR).
Mass transfer in continuous casting involves turbulent melt flow, slag, gas bubbles, non-metallic inclusions (NMIs), and interfacial reactions under external forces.

The Austrian metal industry, one of the country´s most important economic pillars, faces pressing issues that will shape the future of innovation and competitiveness. The most urgent challenges facing today´s industry require optimising production efficiency and minimising waste, energy consumption, and environmental impact.

Simulated arc plasma jet impinging on molten steel illustrates arc-melt interaction and surface behavior.
