This project is intended to help the industrial partner, Stelco, to develop electrical steels with improved magnetic properties through controlled thermomechanical processing. Electrical steels are widely used in the manufacturing of stators and rotors of electric motors used in general rotating machines and electric vehicles. Improving the magnetic properties of electrical steels would result in […]

Reducing CO2 emissions and improving the crash-resistance of passenger vehicles are two objectives that Canadians all share. One excellent technique to do both at the same time involves substituting existing body components with new advanced high strength steels (AHSS) that are produced with higher tensile strengths (better energy absorption and better anti-intrusion properties) and thinner […]

The ultimate goal of this project is to develop a fundamental understanding of inclusion evolution during a particular refining process in secondary steelmaking unit. The particular focus is firstly on developing a detailed characterization of the inclusions formed during refining in the Stelco Ladle Metallurgy Facility, and secondly on adapting the existing McMaster ladle metallurgy/inclusion […]
