After 3 years of cooperative research and with InfraTec participation an international joint project, officially named “Resource-saving and sustainable production of high-quality steel by enhanced on-line control of stirring efficiency in vacuum degassing“ (BMBF project no: 0330848A/B), has been completed successfully.

Within the project work, especially with the studies at the Austrian partner BÖHLER Edelstahl GmbH & Co KG, a number of practical experiences using high-performance infrared thermography technology under extremely demanding ambient conditions was gained. The useful insights that were obtained together with VDEh-Betriebsforschungsinstitut (BFI) in Düsseldorf will be made available for other steelwork plants, too. Specific enquiries have already been received.

InfraTec GmbH Infrarotsensorik und Messtechnik based in Dresden is specialized in products and services in the field of infrared technology.
