    In addition to a wide thickness range, Docol hot rolled AHSS makes it possible to drastically increase the tensile strength in a component, while reducing the amount of material needed to produce it. This can result in a significant reduction in weight, while achieving the same performance and a lower cost, thanks to less material needed overall

    We compared Toolox 44 with conventional tool steel alloyed with chromium, molybdenum and vanadium. Toolox produced better results on all points
    Mayank Kumar
    In truth tool vibration is one of the main limiting factors behind increased productivity. The build and stability of today’s machines allow for significantly higher rates. Compared with tools made of conventional materials it’s possible to increase the removal rate significantly by changing to Toolox 44.

    SSAB is a partner as rallycross takes the fast track to a fossil-free future

    This year sees the world’s first electrified rallycross world championships. SSAB is a proud partner of the newly-formed Construction Equipment Dealer Team, with drivers Klara Andersson and Niclas Grönholm. Rallycross is all about speed. Cars can go from 0–100 km/h in 1.8 seconds. But this year, some races will be quieter than ever. Because this is the first time that the FIA World Rallycross Championship features electric cars too, which also marks the start of a new era in sustainable racing. “We’re delighted about this collaboration. Together, we can develop products that

    Volvo CE first in the world to deliver construction machine built using SSAB fossil-free steel to customer

    Exceptional speed requires exceptional safety

    SSAB is attending the PRI2016 (performance racing industry) fair on December 5-10 in Indianapolis, which is one of the biggest motorsports fairs attracting some 1,200 exhibiting companies and thousands of racing professionals from over 70 countries. “PRI2016 is a truly global show, where we will be telling about the advantages of our Docol R8 tubes for racing cars. In addition to having a booth in the fair, our welding and technical experts from SSAB Americas will give presentations in seminars during the fair,” says Business Developer Owe Nilsson from SSAB Europe. “Steel can

    Racing ahead with Docol R8 Tube

    In the world of racing, the ultimate goal is to move faster. That’s why nothing is left to chance when developing racing cars. They need to be as light as possible, but at the same time you can’t compromise on driver safety. Docol R8 Tube in high-strength steel is strong, safe and consistent to work with. It allows you to create racing chassis and components that deliver the highest performance, all the way from the workshop to the racetrack. Other materials often contain variations that behave differently, even if they have the same design. Docol R8 tubes have uniform properties

    Automotive: Cold-forming returns

    Cold-forming steels have several advantages and are experiencing a resurgence in the automotive industry. This trend is likely to continue.More and more automotive manufacturers are realizing that hot forming is a costly process and not so favorable from the sustainability perspective. To date, there has not been a range of cold-forming steels with the right properties available in the market. Now SSAB’s cold-formed Advanced High Strength steels (AHSS) offer car manufacturers a cost-efficient and environmentally sound alternative. Of course, sometimes hot forming is the only option allowing

    SSAB invests in its Nordic operations

    SSAB will invest more than SEK 500 million in its Nordic operations to support the automotive growth strategy, increased production stability and reduced energy consumption. The investments will be made in operations at the Hämeenlinna and Luleå sites and the projects will start in late 2016. SSAB will invest SEK 370 million to modernize the first section of the pickling line at the Hämmeenlinna Works in Finland. The investment is being made to support SSAB’s automotive growth strategy and secure the stable and long-term production of coated strip products. All steel strip at

    Steel can make a difference in electric cars

    Interest in electric vehicles is rapidly growing. One “hot potato” in electric cars is the range they can be driven without charging. Whereas one important question, of course, is how to make energy-denser batteries, we can boost the driving range of electric cars also by making them lighter. One cost-efficient solution to this dilemma could be SSAB’s cold-formed Advanced High Strength steels (AHSS). Keeping component weight and costs to a minimum is a main focus as electric cars become increasingly more popular. This means demand for SSAB’s cold-formable AHSS will become more
