Driving Refractories Innovation Through Dedicated Research
At IFGL, we drive innovation through research and development. With an absolute commitment to our progressive production capabilities, we focus on creating state-of-the-art materials and developing sustainable, recycled solutions to minimize our environmental footprint. Our goal is to elevate global refractories manufacturing standards, setting new benchmarks for excellence and sustainability in the industry.
Flow Control Benchmarking
Conducted under the supervision of trained professionals, our research activities focus on benchmarking various Flow Control Solutions to set new, higher-level solutions to meet the emerging customer needs.
Capabilities
With advanced and fully equipped refractories and ceramic development capabilities, including metal melting furnaces for material reaction verifications, our research center reflects our commitment to continuous innovation and improvement.
Delivering Value Building Sustainability
Through continuous research and innovation, we develop advanced processes and products that drive business growth through sustainable practices. By collaborating with the entire value chain—from vendors to end customers—we ensure the long-term success of all our stakeholders. Our products in various steel-making environments include those with captive Induction Furnaces, enabling the comprehensive validation of new products, and significantly reducing the overall New Product Development (NPD) cycle time. We are also working towards advancing refractories for Green Steel, Clean Steel, and Hydrogen-based steelmaking, recognizing these as critical areas of focus.
Bringing Together The Best Minds
Our Research Centre drives innovations in advanced manufacturing by nurturing an ecosystem in collaboration with globally renowned institutions. We support academia-industry partnerships across all facets of research.
