According to Semnan University Public Relations, the Vice Chancellor for Research and Technology of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of Semnan University announced this news and said: The title of the selected article is A Review on the Modeling of Direct Reduction of Iron Oxides in Gas-Based Shaft Furnaces, which is the result of a joint activity between the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of Semnan University and the University of Utah, USA. All activities related to this article were carried out in the Solar Energy Laboratory of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of Semnan University.

Dr. Mohammad Mahdi Khatibi added: This journal, with an impact factor of 1.9 and a quality level of Q2 in the ISI ranking system, is among the leading publications in the field of metallurgy and steel-related technologies. The selected article examines the modeling of the direct reduction process of iron oxides in gas-based axial furnaces, and its findings can play an effective role in optimizing steel production methods.

He added: "This journal, founded in 1927, is a platform for publishing high-quality research in the fields of process metallurgy, metal forming, and materials engineering with a focus on steel and ferroalloys. The selected articles in this issue included fascinating research from researchers around the world on topics such as sustainable steelmaking, recycling, continuous casting, microstructure, and mechanical properties."

Dr. Khatibi noted: This scientific achievement is the result of collaboration between researchers from the Energy and Porous Environments Laboratory of Semnan University and the University of Utah (USA), and indicates the growing position of Iranian research in the international arena.
