About Ray
Raymond Longbottom is a Research Fellow in the School of Mechanical, Materials, Mechatronic and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Wollongong, a position he has held since 2008. He earned a Bachelor of Metallurgical Engineering (B.Met.E.) in 2000 and a PhD in 2005 from the University of New South Wales School of Materials Science and Engineering. Prior to joining the University of Wollongong, Longbottom worked at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology as part of the EU-funded Ultra-Low CO2 Steelmaking (ULCOS) project. His research specializations include sustainable iron and steelmaking in both conventional and alternative processes, blast furnace and alternate ironmaking, steelmaking, refractories, and raw materials such as coke. Key expertise encompasses materials engineering, corrosion, metallurgical engineering, microstructure, steel and metals processing, material characterization, X-ray diffraction, and corrosion testing.
Longbottom has produced 81 publications garnering nearly 1,000 citations, advancing knowledge in pyrometallurgy and decarbonization technologies. Prominent publications feature 'Characteristics of oxide scale formed on ferritic stainless steels in simulated reheating atmosphere' (2014, Surface and Coatings Technology), 'Breakaway oxidation behaviour of ferritic stainless steels at 1150°C in humid air' (2016, Corrosion Science), 'Reduction Kinetics of Oxidized New Zealand Ironsand Pellets in H2 at Temperatures up to 1443 K' (2020, Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B), 'Iron ore reduction with CO and H2 gas mixtures–thermodynamic and kinetic modelling' (2008), and recent studies on slag properties in electric smelting furnaces and hydrogen reduction of titanomagnetite ironsand. He contributes to the ARC Research Hub for Australian Steel Manufacturing, co-leads a $4.2 million Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA)-funded project with industry partners including BlueScope Steel to decarbonise steel production, and has presented at conferences such as MOLTEN 2024.
