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 11 Octo­ber 2024 at 13:00 (CET). 

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.

Par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on is free of charge.
