Second day at TMS is underway - I highly recommend attending Kristjan Leosson presentation on Ti concentration measurements in dilute Al-Ti-B alloys, acquired from direct chemical analysis of the molten metal by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). This research done by DTE's research and development team, including Antonio Vázquez Prudencio, Kristbjörg Thorarinsdottir and Mehdi Maghsoudi, shows that by using DTEs technology, it is possible to analyze the influence of B addition on the Ti concentration of the melt. After the addition of B, the Ti concentration slowly evolves due to the formation of TiB2. LIBS measurements enable the real-time study of the formation kinetics of TiB2 and how the formation is influenced by several parameters, such as the melt temperature and concentration of elements. You can also find the DTE team, including myself and Kristjan Leosson, along with Arnar Guðnason and Simon Prescott in booth 417 if you want to find out more about how our solutions are unlocking new potential in the aluminum industry. #tmsAnnualMeeting

See you soon in Berlin with Christophe Baeté at Pipeline Technology Conference (ptc) ! 🗣️ Let’s discuss corrosion modeling, integrity management and how to deploy a pro-active maintenance approach. #corrosion #pipelineintegrity

Our Commitment to Ongoing Research: 13th European Electric Steelmaking Conference we're committed to advancing the steel industry through our research and innovative solutions. Our team will present an article at the 13th European Electric Steelmaking Conference, for enhancing process control in Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steelmaking. Our article title is "Leveraging Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) for Enhanced Process Control in Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) Steelmaking", a collaborative research between Luxmet and the Process Metallurgy Research Unit at the University of Oulu. Luxmet's research explores how OES data can improve EAF process control, contributing to reduced carbon emissions and enhanced energy efficiency. Our study showcases the effectiveness of ArcSpec, in providing real-time insights into scrap melting progress within the EAF. ArcSpec enables operators to make informed decisions, leading to optimized furnace operations and significant energy savings. Stay tuned for more updates on Luxmet's ongoing research and our commitment to driving innovation in the steel industry! #Luxmet #Research #Innovation #EAF #Steelmaking #Sustainability #OES #ArcSpec #ProcessControl #EnergyEfficiency #EEC2024 #greensteel #lessemissions

Check out this new paper that I've contributed to! The dealloying of chromium at the micron-scale in molten salt corrosion is nothing new. However, at the nano-scale, this study reveals a surprising increase in chromium density within the alloy at the metal-salt interface.

In my recent publication in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics (JFM), I investigated the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) of a self-excited one- and two-degree-of-freedom (pitching/plunging) flat plate near the water's free surface via time-resolved volumetric PTV and hydrogen bubble flow measurements. The onset of instabilities, post-critical behavior, and flow structures (LEVs and TEVs) are affected by proximity to the deformable free surface. These videos show the hydrogen bubble and 3D-PTV results for deeply submerged height (first row) and near free surface (second row). You can read the full paper at: (https://lnkd.in/dnkQsFJD.)

It is with great pleasure that we extend a warm welcome to EFC - European Federation of Corrosion, as our esteemed Supporting Partner for MECOC EXPO 2025. Their invaluable support underscores the significance of this event, which promises to be a landmark gathering for industry leaders. The EFC is a federation of about 50 organizations (Member Societies and Affiliate Members) with interests in corrosion, based in 25 different countries within Europe and beyond. Taken together, its Member Societies represent a community of more than 25,000 engineers and scientists. Founded in 1955, its aim is to advance the science of corrosion and protection of materials by promoting cooperation in Europe and collaboration internationally. 24 EFC Working Parties and 2 Task Forces address various aspects of corrosion and its prevention in many sectors. They prepare reports, guidelines, draft standards and proceed for publication in the highly regarded EFC series of “Green Books” EUROCORR, the EFC’s annual conference is the flagship event of the European corrosion calendar. This year’s event, scheduled in September, 2025 in Stavanger, Norway, will be the 43rd, in the series.
