Development tendencies of chemical metallurgy in Europe are mainly determined by requirements of energy saving, quality improvement, simplification of processes, and environmental protection. To fullfil these requirements, research and development is directed a) immediately into production and customers demands, b) into new processes and materials, c) into the enlargement of our scientific knowledge. At three examples, namely the development of line pipe and deep drawing steels for a), the development of smelting reduction for b), and fundamental research in process kinetics for c), contributions of chemical metallurgy are described and some goals for the future mentioned.
