Develop solutions for mixte reduction:
- o Tune current process to reach optimum point between economical performance and level of quality expected
- o Fasten semi-automatic characterization of inclusions and their impact on quality
- o Modellng of slag practices with focus on levers to pilot the process
- o Ensure good slag stabilization to decrease flux costs while reaching expectations regarding environmental issues
Other technical projects:
- o Benchmark new coming process innovation (sensoring)
- o Stabilized ferritic grades : complete descritption and modeling of mechanisms relating elaboration to clogging vs roping
- o Innovation ternary metallurgy processing : give parameters to achieve best performance (cost, quality)
- o New product industralization : § Leverage toplines elaboration process to fasten time to market by defining optimum setting points – § Adapt characterization methodology – § Following-up of actions
- o Recyco : decrease production cost of ferro-alloys by focusing on raw materials sourcing and melting strategies.
- o By-Product: § Identify and pilot proof of concept of new ways to increase Aperam’s profitiability – § Benchmark new trends
Technical support to customers:
- o Technical support to customer: answer quality and process evolutions questions, manage industrial trials
- o Leader on by-product and elaboration technical projects
Scientific involvement in lab activities:
- o Development of methodology for non-metallic inclusions and slags characterization
- o Development of methodology to assess slag stabilization efficiency
- o Development of slag-metal exchange models
- o Represent Aperam in the Chaire Metal Liquid held at Institut Jean Lamour (Nancy)
The job includes matricial management.
