Professor and lectured on metal production and heat and mass transfer. His research at Imperial College has been principally focused on mould fluxes for continuous casting and slags used in other steelmaking processes and on thermo-physical properties of alloys and slags. He also revived his

He had great interest in the mechanisms underlying processing problems in high-temperature processes, such as variable weld penetration in GTA/TIG welding and mould flux behaviour in the continuous casting of steel. To illustrate surface tension driven
Marangoni flow in liquid metals, Mills would

In 1974, he became head of a group working on the measurement of physico-chemical properties of materials related to heat and fluid flow in high-temperature processes, known as the Slags group. The group consisted of, amongst others: Brian Keene, Sandy Powell, Rob Brooks, Abayomi
Olusanya, Abas

Mills graduated in chemistry from the
University of Newcastle in 1956 and, in 1960, was awarded a PhD by Sheffield University for work on carbides in steels and their effect on creep strength. From 1960 to 1962, he continued his research in the US, at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in

Mills' main research was carried out on metals and alloys, slags and refractories. In addition to his experimental work he carried out major reviews on the properties of these materials; he was a major contributor to the Slag Atlas (2nd edition 1995).
