Metallurgical students of Donetsk National Technical University – finalists of the CASE-IN championship

Students of the Faculty of Metallurgy and Thermal Power Engineering of Donetsk National Technical University successfully competed in the in-person qualifying stage of the Student League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE–IN" in the field of Metallurgy and advanced to the finals of the championship in Moscow on May 30 - June 1.

DonNTU team members – Ilya Borodatsky, Danil Dyatlov, Ilya Pastukhov, students of the METsk-21 group. Mentor – senior lecturer of the Department of Non-ferrous Metallurgy and Structural Materials A. Y. Pasechnik.

In the field of Metallurgy, the Student League is held among university representatives who, in teams of 3-4 people, solve engineering cases in the field of metallurgy, dedicated to real production problems and developed based on materials from industry enterprises.

This year, the case for the participants of the championship was developed by RUSAL, one of the leaders in aluminum production in the world. It is dedicated to solving the real production situation that has arisen at RUSAL's enterprises and is aimed at improving aluminum production technology, taking into account the implementation of import substitution, resource and energy conservation mechanisms in order to reduce the cost of aluminum production, ensure high product quality standards and implement ESG principles.

It was necessary to solve the case within 10 days. During this time, a team of DonNTU students studied the specifics of aluminum production at RUSAL's enterprises and proposed technological, logistical, economic and environmental solutions aimed at improving production technology and reducing production costs.
