Long-Term Directions of Research and Implementation Activities:

1. High-strength structural multiphase steels

2. Ultra-high-strength nanostructured steels

3. Sustainable low-emission technologies for the production of pig iron and steel

4. Technologies of manufacturing steel products with the use of numerical and physical simulations

5. Additive technologies (3D printing) – design and production of new grades of steel and metal alloys as well as protective coatings

6. Mechanisms of degradation of steel, metal alloys and coatings during high-temperature operation

7. Development of quantitative methods of chemical composition analysis and production of certified reference materials
