Navigating the chemical space: Sustainable metallurgy through materials informatics

How can we accelerate the transformation of the iron and steel industry using materials informatics? Computational thermochemistry is fundamental for the transition to sustainable metallurgy. You need to understand thermodynamics to create process models – or to discover new alloy compositions for advanced engineering applications. We face challenges such as the decarbonization of steel metallurgy

Constructing a Blast Furnace Diagram with FactSage – Part IV

In order to reduce the CO2 emissions caused by the iron & steel industry, there have been initiatives in the last decades to substitute reductants based on carbon by the use of H2 as a reducing agent. These initiatives go from the direct injection of H2 at the tuyeres of the blast furnace [1, 2]

Constructing a Blast Furnace Diagram with FactSage – Part III

In the 3rd blog post of this series related to the Blast Furnace Diagram, we at first consider the effect of including the metallic phases as solution phases instead of considering them as pure compounds, like we already did for the oxides. Then, we show how the total pressure will affect the diagram, in special
