6 Research Lines in recent 5 years Materials (MAT) Carbon Steel: Ferritic, Ferritic-Pearlitic and Pearlitic Steels. Ultrafine-grain steel with high elastic limit. Nanotechnology of precipitates during hot deformation (Precipitation Hardening) Cement Technology: Clinker Production in Rotary Furnace. New Designs. Combination of Rotary Furnace and Fluidized Bed Technologies (Decrease of Rotary Furnace Length) Corrosion Tests of Refractories and Ceramics at High Temperatures (Metallurgical Industry, Cement Industry and Glass Industry)

7 Introduction of the Green Energy in Processes of the Primary Metallurgy and in the Production of Materials Wind Energy. Solar Thermal Energy: Solar furnace in the Pilot Plant of Almería (Spain) Heating flow in primary industries by means of Solar Thermal Energy. Examples: Heating of ammonia (gas) for the synthesis of ammonium sulphate / nitrate. Heating water introducing into sinter machine of iron minerals in steel plants

8 Industrial Simulations Until now, the simulations carried out by this research group has been connected with the following topics in heat transport: Blast-Furnace Hearth Molybdenum electrode for a glass melting furnace

9 Other Simulations Pierce-Smith Converter Hot-Metal Transfer Car Rotary Furnace Refractory Bars

10 Scientific Publications All this research has generated a considerable amount of scientific publications, articles in indexed journals, conference papers, dissertations and theses, as expected in an educational and research centre. The most recent publications are the following: Mechanisms knowledge of the fluid and wear in blast furnace hearth with the Nodal Wear Model. Archives of Metallurgy and Materials (Poland). (No.4/ 2010). Some kinetics aspects of chlorine solid reactions. Revista de Metalurgia. (Madrid, Spain): Rev. Metal. Madrid (Vol. 46; No. 1/2010).
