Abstract:
The growing level of order customization in steel structure manufacturing has significantly transformed production systems, particularly in welding operations. While high-mix production increases flexibility and responsiveness to customer requirements, it may also introduce process variability, longer changeover times, and a higher risk of welding imperfections. [..]

Abstract:
The work deals with the issue of chromium recovery from slag systems through its reduction with aluminum. Attention is paid in particular to the behavior of chromium oxides in the melt and their transformation into the metallic phase under appropriately selected conditions. [..]

Abstract:
This study investigates the potential utilization of converter steel slag after vibrofluid magnetic separation (VMS) for the preparation of ceramic glazes. Converter slag (CS) represents a significant by-product of steel production, and its effective recycling is essential for sustainable resource management and circular economy strategies. [..]

Abstract:
This paper summarizes research focused on the evaluation of metallurgical sludge generated during steel production in an oxygen converter, with the aim of preserving its high iron content for further use in the steel industry. The technology employs pyrometallurgical processing using secondary waste as a reducing agent. [..]

Abstract:
The operating conditions of free-stall barns may accelerate the corrosion and degradation of steel components used in manure removal equipment, potentially reducing service life and increasing the risk of failure. This study aimed to identify and assess the risk of corrosion damage to steel components of a hydraulic manure scraper and to determine its potential implications for occupational safety. [..]

Abstract:
As mergers between higher education institutions increasingly become a global phenomenon, the existing literature has largely emphasized institutional performance, governance structures, and policy-driven outcomes, while the perspectives of students remain marginally addressed. This study provides a student-centered analysis of a large-scale university merger in Romania, focusing on students from the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering. [..]

Abstract:
The aim of the study is to conduct a structural analysis of the causes of accidents at work in the metallurgical industry using a multifactorial approach. The study is quantitative and based on the analysis of statistical data on accidents in companies engaged in the production of metals and metal products. [..]
