From 1920 his chair was called furnace, metallurgy and salt works . The focus of his research and teaching was combustion technology. Through his investigations into the conditions of heat transfer, the efficiency of industrial furnaces could be increased significantly. Franz Schraml was a pioneer in scientific combustion technology and modern, engineering-based industrial furnace construction.

Franz Schraml was rector of the Montanistische Hochschule Leoben in the academic years 1920/21, 1921/22 and 1929/30. On his initiative, the Society of Friends of the Montanistische Hochschule Leoben was founded in 1922 .
