The group is particularly known for its expertise in metals and minerals processing (smelting, casting, welding, solidification microstructure, etc.) with a long-term involvement in a number of projects of international significance; e.g. the modelling of the Rio-Tinto HIsmelt® process in Western Australia for the direct smelting of iron ore into iron, to replace the Blast Furnace technology. Experience in metal processing highlighted the need for "Multi-physics" modelling, which has remained the focus of research.
