Thackray, Richard - University of Sheffield - Department of Materials Science and Engineering

个人简介

Richard Thackray was appointed to academic staff in 2003 as Corus (now Tata Steel) Lecturer in Steelmaking. He obtained his BEng and PhD in Metallurgy at Imperial College London and held research appointments in academia, before moving to Sheffield. Richard is a recognised authority on steelmaking and continuous casting.

研究领域

Sustainable steelmaking Research is focussed on identifying strategies to produce more energy efficient steelmaking processes and to improve material efficiency. We work with industrial partners such as Siemens to investigate sustainable plate manufacture, and with Tata Steel to conduct research in areas as diverse as alternative materials for ironmaking, dephosphorisation mechanisms in oxygen steelmaking, the effect of reduced niobium content on microstructure of pipeline grades, life cycle analysis and substance flow analysis of critical elements used in steelmaking, use of alternative waste streams in primary steel production, and improved reuse and recycling of by-products. Secondary steelmaking and continuous casting Research is centred on understanding the effect of thermomechanical processing on inclusion formation and behaviour as well as developing new methodologies for characterising inclusions. Casting research focuses on understanding the role of mould powders on the both the internal and surface quality of cast products, particularly casting of next generation (TRIP, DP) steels. Other Other areas of active research include modelling and design of castings for the nuclear supply chain in partnership with Sheffield Forgemasters, modelling of the behaviour of steel in fire, and the development of new modelling methodologies for predicting microstructure and segregation in continuously cast steels.
