| Title | Computational fluid dynamics modelling of ladle treatments |
| Host institution | University of Oulu, Finland |
| Brief description | The specific aim of this study is to optimise alloying practice and to reduce the consumption of nickel as an alloying element. The alloying additions are also a source for inclusions, which can be detrimental to the quality of the steel. Effects of selected alloying elements on the steel cleanness will be studied. |
