About author:Marc HUGER is a full professor at the University of Limoges (France) and leads the Research Group on Thermomechanics of Ceramic Materials at the Institute of Research for Ceramics (IRCER-UMR CNRS 7315). In 1985, he received an Engineering Degree, in ceramic sciences and engineering from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Céramique Industrielle of Limoges. After some experience as an engineer for the Centre d'Etudes et de Recherches pour l'Industrie Céramique (CERIC) in Paris, he got a Master Degree, in 1988, from the University of Limoges. From 1988 to 1991, he earned a PhD through research on“Oxidation and thermal damage, assessed by high temperature ultrasonic techniques, of unprotected SiC/C/SiC composites”, at the Laboratoire de Matériaux Céramiques et Traitements de Surfaces (LMCTS-URA CNRS 320) of Limoges. From 1991 to 1993, he was a Temporary Associate Professor at the Université de Limoges. In 1993, he got a position of Associate Professor at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Céramique Industrielle of Limoges. Since 2009, he is a full professor, first at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Céramique Industrielle of Limoges, and at the University of Limoges since 2017. His research activities, focused on the characterization of the mechanical properties at high temperatures of ceramic materials (first on composites, then on refractories) led him to develop different original experimental techniques, in order to investigate the relationships between the microstructure of heterogeneous materials and their macroscopic thermomechanical properties. He has published almost 100 articles in international peer-reviewed journals and 2 patents. Since 2017, he has coordinated two European Doctoral Networks, involving 15 PhDs each: ATHOR (Advanced THermomechanical multiscale mOdelling of Refractory linings-2017-2022) and CESAREF (Concerted European action on Sustainable Applications of REFractories-2022-2026).

Abstract

Abstract: The movement of the Iron & Steelmaking (I&S) industry towards Net-Zero emissions and digitalized processes through disruptive, breakthrough technologies will be achieved through the use of Hydrogen. The biggest challenge for the refractory industry is to continue to meet the performance expectations while, at the same time, moving to a more sustainable production direction. The complexity and urgency of these technological changes, highlighted by the European Green Deal, requires ambitious, international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral projects, bringing together institutes from across the global value chain, to carry out cutting edge research. The European Union, through its flagship doctoral training program, MSCA, has, and continues to support research and development as well as the promotion of the refractory industry in Europe. An introduction to two MSCA projects and some of the results achieved are highlighted within this article.
