Helsinki University of Technology, Institution of Process Metallurgy Annual Report, 1989

摘要

The annual report represents the academic activities including research and teaching of the Institution of Process Metallurgy (IPM) at Helsinki University of Technology. Significant research projects were initiated, the foremost of them inside the energy research program 'MELT' under the Ministry of Trade and Industry, and the projects on new ironmaking technology and metallurgy of chromium. Research activities in copper and lead metallurgy and hydrometallurgy were continued. Research on plasma chemistry and metallurgy was further extended by launching the new RF-plasma equipment. Research in ceramics and powder metallurgy was concerned with processing of engineering ceramics, cemented carbides and ceramic components. Applications of thermodynamic data by computer methods was further developed and widely applied.
