Research Metallurgist​/Metallurgical Engineer

ESSENTIAL RESPONSIBILITIES / FUNCTIONS Process Development & Optimization

• Develop scrap recipes using varied feed stocks for production trials to optimize the EAF scrap melting process.
• Establish and refine the relationship between scrap mix ,
  flux additions , and slag chemistry to achieve consistent slag quality, optimal foaming behavior, and effective dephosphorization
  .
• Develop flux practices that maximize desulphurization efficiency and promote effective absorption of non-metallic inclusions during the ladle refining process.
• Optimize the use of calcium‑bearing alloys to improve modification of oxide and sulfide inclusions.

• Contribute to the development and application of numerical models for steelmaking processes and collaborate with Operations to implement model-based control strategies.
• Perform inclusion analyses using optical microscopy and SEM/EDS to support refinement of ladle practices and improvement of steel cleanliness.

• Conduct raw material testing to confirm vendor material compliance with required specifications.
• Prepare detailed technical reports documenting research activities, trial findings, and recommendations.

Stay current with technical literature, industry advancements, and academic research related to primary steelmaking; communicate relevant insights for potential process optimization.
