Dr’s Brian Monaghan and Sharon Nightingale of Materials Engineering have just been awarded an ARC linkage project on Insoluble Oxide Product Formation and Its Effect on Coke Dissolution in Liquid Iron. The project is a fundamental study into the kinetics of carbon dissolution in liquid iron and worth $387000 over three years. The industry partners are John Mathieson and Bob Nightingale from BlueScope Steel. The timing of this award could not be more perfect as it coincides with the formation the Pyrometallurgy Group; a new UoW research grouping that will be working under the BlueScope Steel Metallurgy Centre bann |

New Engineering Undergraduates get a taste of IndustryThe Faculty of Engineering has recently introduced a new subject, ENGG101 Foundations of Engineering, that assists all new Faculty of Engineering undergraduate students in developing their skills in fundamental engineering topics such as solid mechanics and fluid mechanics. Included in a range of hands-on activities the students construct model bridges and test hydraulic systems in a way that brings the theories to life. As an integral part of this subject all the students recently visited the Bluescope Steelworks to see some of the largest machines and most exciting large scale processes in the world. After orientation and safety instruction at the Australia’s Industry World visitors centre the students saw close up the massive Bluescope Steel site including the BOS steelmaking plant, continuous slab caster and the hot rolling mills. This field trip was made possible by generous financial support from ENGG101 students at Bluescope Steel with the massive
