This award provides partial support for the participation of nine U.S. engineers in a seminar with counterparts from the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) that is designed to identify generic research needs that impede the full development of important new iron and steel making processes. The seminar co-organizers are Professor H. Alan Fine, Department of Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science, University of Kentucky, and Professor Hans-Juergen Engell, Director of the Max Planck Institute for Iron Research, Duesseldorf. The U.S. delegation will consist of senior academic engineers, a few younger faculty members and two engineers from industry. Representatives from the Department of Energy have also been invited. The agenda for the meeting places particular emphasis on (1) the kinetics of fine particle reaction in fluid media, (2) containment of slags rich in FeO, (3) refining of Cu and other tramp elements from steel, and (4) heat and mass transfer considerations associated with novel processing. Participants nominated for the workshop are well qualified to discuss developments in their fields and to identify useful future research directions and technological opportunities. The U.S. iron and steel industries are being challenged to develop new processes in order to become more competitive in the world market. In particular, they must make use of available raw materials and resources in the most economical manner. Alternatives to the use of coke in ironmaking, new processes that take advantage of fine-grained feed materials produced from processing low-grade ores, more efficient use of scrap metals, and effective and economical methods for the removal of impurities found in scrap and in low-grade coals are examples of areas where more research is needed. The U.S. and the FRG are actively involved in the production of iron and steel and are making significant research efforts aimed at developing new technologies. The proposed seminar will bring together eminent workers in this field from the two countries for a mutually beneficial exchange of information to chart areas of new research and possible cooperation.

该奖项为九名美国工程师与德意志联邦共和国 (FRG) 同行参加研讨会提供部分支持，该研讨会旨在确定阻碍重要的新型钢铁制造工艺全面开发的通用研究需求。 研讨会的共同主办者是肯塔基大学冶金工程与材料科学系的H. Alan Fine教授和杜塞尔多夫马克斯·普朗克铁研究所所长Hans-Juergen Engell教授。 美国代表团将由高级学术工程师、几位年轻教师和两名工业界工程师组成。 能源部的代表也应邀出席。 会议议程特别强调 (1) 流体介质中细颗粒反应的动力学，(2) 富含 FeO 的炉渣的遏制，(3) 钢中铜和其他杂质元素的精炼，以及 (4) 热能以及与新颖加工相关的传质考虑因素。 研讨会提名的参与者完全有资格讨论各自领域的发展并确定未来有用的研究方向和技术机会。 美国钢铁工业正面临着开发新工艺的挑战，以便在世界市场上更具竞争力。 特别是，他们必须以最经济的方式利用现有的原材料和资源。 在炼铁过程中使用焦炭的替代方案、利用加工低品位矿石产生的细粒原料的新工艺、更有效地利用废金属以及去除废钢和废钢中杂质的有效且经济的方法低品位煤炭是需要进行更多研究的领域的例子。 美国和西德积极参与钢铁生产，并为开发新技术进行了大量研究工作。 拟议的研讨会将汇集两国该领域的杰出工作者，进行互惠互利的信息交流，以规划新的研究领域和可能的合作。
