  • (A) ABSTRACT the Development of a Solid Research Grounding in the Field
    Teza de abilitare: Ana Virginia SOCALICI [2016] (A) ABSTRACT The development of a solid research grounding in the field of materials engineering, supported by the teaching foundation of the modern technologies applied for materials making and processing, is a very topical issue in the contemporary society, and this could be primarily achieved through the professional and academic experience of the professors involved in this field. The habilitation thesis is a summary of the scientific concerns and activities carried out after sustaining the PhD Thesis at Politehnica University of Timişoara, in 2004, entitled “Contributions to improve the quality of steel parts obtained by forging large ingots”, under the guidance of professor dr. eng. Ioan ILCA, when I obtained a doctoral degree in the field of fundamental engineering sciences, Ph.D. field Materials Science and Engineering, confirmed by the Ministerial Order no. 4450 issued on 02.08.2004. The general objective of the habilitation thesis is the logically argued and documented presentation of the scientific achievements obtained after sustaining the doctorate thesis. The paper is conceived in order to clearly delineate the major research directions. The results of scientific work falls in the field of materials engineering, being approached the following research directions: Modern methods and technologies applied in steelmaking; Technologies used to recover the ferrous waste and scrap for greening the industrial environment. The scientific work carried out led to the development of competencies in: Technologies used for making and casting metal alloys; Metal materials testing; Optimization of steel making and casting; Modelling and simulation of steel solidification processes; Application of greening technologies on bulk ferrous waste recovery; Processing and interpretation of the research results.
