Novel Atomic Level Investigations of High Temperature Surface Thermodynamics of molten steel

该项目将开发一种非常先进的研究能力，以研究钢水中杂质相互作用和表面现象的关键方面。该项目提出的创新研究将为开发新的原子级技术铺平道路，这些技术的潜力在很大程度上是未经探索和测试的，对澳大利亚科学和钢铁工业的国际地位具有深远影响。它将为改进炼钢实践奠定基础，提高运营效率，环境可持续性，带来巨大的经济/技术效益。处理成本较低的废钢和减少最终钢铁产品中的污染的能力将大大节省成本。

This project will develop a highly advanced research capability to investigate critical aspects of impurity interactions and surface phenomena in molten steel. Innovative research proposed in this project will pave the way towards developing novel atomic level technologies whose potentials are largely unexplored and untested, with profound implications for international standing of Australian science and steel industry. It will lay the foundations for improvements in steelmaking practices enhancing operational efficiency, environmental sustainability with immense economic/technological benefits. Significant savings are to be gained from the ability to process lower cost scrap and reducing contamination in the final steel products.
