Smelting Symposium
The Smelting Symposium was first organized as an online event in 2023 under the name SAF/OSBF Symposium by the Department for Industrial Furnaces and Heat Engineering (IOB) at RWTH Aachen University. The symposium is intended to bring together experts in the field at roughly annual intervals, so that the
2nd Smelting Symposium will take place online on 11th October 2024.
The symposium will be used to present the current status of research & development and plant technology for electric smelting furnaces (ESF, including SAF and OSBF) and to discuss the future tasks and challenges of the industries (ferroalloys, steelmaking, recycling, etc.). To this end, specialist lectures from science and industry will be presented and discussions held.
