Research Associate Alternate Ironmaking The worlds steel industry is challenged to decarbonise in the face of climate change. New ways to make iron and steel without carbon will rely increasingly on renewable electricity and hydrogen. Australia is well placed to continue the supply of iron ores from the Pilbara region. Research is focused on understanding the requirements and characteristics of material behavior in new iron and steelmaking processes. Process modelling for heat and mass balance and material characterisation are key components of the work performed at the Centre for Ironmaking and Materials Research. |
