TATA steel is Europe's second largest steel producer and under its Building Systems division, has extensive insulating panel manufacturing capabilities throughout Europe. In the UK alone, the steel faced insulated panel market is worth over £200 million pounds per annum. This type of produce is governed by European Standard EN14509.Since the Grenfell Tower disaster in June 2017, reviews of building regulations have resulted in all combustible materials being banned for high rise residential building. Further reviews for all building types are ongoing. With building designers not being allowed to use highly efficient thermally insulating product (i.e. PIR foams) in these types of buildings, demand is rising for non-combustible products (stone wool). With weight and thermal performance being approximately half of the combustible alternatives, the result is lower thermal efficiency in new and refurbished buildings and greater structural costs. In order to meet government targets on CO2 and gain efficiencies within building design, TATA Steel UK wish to investigate novel insulating materials that are non-combustible, <50Kg/m3, below 0.035 W/mK and lend themselves to adhering to steel face skins. It is anticipated a range of techniques will be required including but not limited to: Simultaneous Thermal Analysis (STA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) and Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), to characterise substrate material and an identified range of potential novel insulating materials capable of delivering high standards of thermal performance. The Research Engineer will work closely with the insulating panel manufacturing site in North Wales, to understand manufacturing capabilities and the appropriate legislative drivers. It is intended the experimental programme will deliver a product suitable for upscaling, leading to a roll out across manufacturing sites throughout Europe.

塔塔钢铁是欧洲第二大钢铁生产商，其建筑系统部门在整个欧洲拥有广泛的绝缘板制造能力。仅在英国，钢面隔热板市场每年价值超过2亿英镑。自2017年6月Grenfell Tower灾难以来，对建筑法规的审查导致所有可燃材料被禁止用于高层住宅建筑。目前正在对所有建筑类型进行进一步审查。由于不允许建筑设计师在这些类型的建筑中使用高效隔热产品（即PIR泡沫），因此对不可燃产品（石棉）的需求正在上升。由于重量和热性能约为可燃替代品的一半，因此新建和翻新建筑物的热效率较低，结构成本较高。为了达到政府的二氧化碳减排目标并提高建筑设计的效率，TATA Steel UK希望研究新型绝缘材料，这些材料不可燃，<50 Kg/m3，低于0.035 W/mK，并有助于粘附到钢面板上。预计将需要一系列技术，包括但不限于：同步热分析（STA）、扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、动态力学分析（DMA）和傅里叶变换红外光谱（FTIR），以确定基板材料和能够提供高标准热性能的一系列潜在新型绝缘材料。研究工程师将与北威尔士的绝缘板制造工厂密切合作，以了解制造能力和适当的立法驱动因素。该实验计划旨在提供一种适合升级的产品，从而在整个欧洲的生产基地推广。
