Peter Schmöle (born December 6, 1950 in Dortmund ) is a German metallurgist .

Life

Schmöle studied metallurgy at the Technical University of Clausthal with a diploma in 1976. He then worked there as a research assistant and then as a senior engineer at the Institute for Metallurgy and Foundry . In 1983 he was with his dissertation analysis of experimental results on the equilibria of phosphorus oxidation of manganese-containing iron melts with complex, kalkgesättigten slag from RWTH Aachen Dr. Ing. PhD .

After completing his doctorate, Schmöle first became an assistant research and quality control assistant at Hoesch Hüttenwerke AG in Dortmund . In 1984 he became operations manager for process technology, steelworks metallurgy at Hoesch Stahl AG and in 1986 operations manager in the blast furnace area . In 1988 he was appointed provisional management of raw material disposition and preparation in the metallurgy division, and he became deputy head of the Phoenix and Westfalenhütte blast furnaces . From 1990 he managed both blast furnace plants and from 1993 also the energy supply of Hoesch Stahl AG, which then became Krupp Hoesch Stahl AG .

In 1996 Schmöle was supposed to develop a new technological concept for Krupp Hoesch Stahl AG. However, in 1997 the merger with Thyssen AG took place , so that Schmöle now became the main area manager for pig iron technology at ThyssenKrupp Stahl AG in Duisburg . He now heads the Metallurgy Competence Center there .

Schmöle has been honorary professor at RWTH Aachen University at the Institute for Metallurgy since 2012 . Thanks to his optimization model in the field of reduction metallurgy , he has become an internationally recognized specialist.

Schmöle has been a personal member of the Association of German Ironworkers (VDEh) since 1974. In 1990 he was elected to the Blast Furnace Committee of the VDEh, in whose sub-committees and working groups he had previously worked. He was a member of the Metallurgical Basics Committee from 2001 until its dissolution in 2015. He also supports the work of the History Committee.
