    The new wire and electrode products make our Duroxite® product range even more versatile for wear part manufacturers and industries performing wear part maintenance and repairs. The Duroxite® portfolio now covers overlay plates with different hardfacing materials, overlay pipes, overlay pins, welding wire and electrodes.
     Lingyun Wei, Global Product Manager Duroxite®
    Duroxite® 200 WIRE is mainly used for capping, routine maintenance or repair work. It can be welded on mild steel, Q&T steels, cast materials and stainless steel. Duroxite® 200 WIRE is easy to apply on site or in the workshop.

    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 have seen that these steels have excellent fatigue properties which ensure durability and a long life time”

    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 Raahe tried out the use of augmented reality in the supervision of installation work

    SSAB Raahe took a digital leap in the annual maintenance of the strip mill in the summer, when augmented reality (AR) was used for the first time in the supervision of installation work. This meant that instead of traveling from Germany to the SSAB’s Raahe mill in Finland, the expert who usually oversees the work was able to follow and direct the work through AR glasses attached to the hard hat of the mill’s own installation supervisor. Jarkko Ahonen Two gearboxes were replaced in conjunction with the last annual maintenance at the Raahe mill. The new gearboxes were ordered for

    SSAB’s road transportation digitalized through eTransport

    Digitalization is part of logistics today. Innovative technology makes it possible to track and plan shipments more efficiently. Client requirements for transport chain visibility and traceability are also recognized by SSAB. The first step in digitalization of the transport chain is to adopt electronic data interchange. Digitalizing information makes it more adaptable for numerous applications as digital services are developed. SSAB has systematically been developing electronic data interchange for years in road transportation. In 2013, SSAB sites in Finland adopted electronic

    SSAB involved in Industrial Data Excellence program in Finland

    SSAB is involved in the InDEx (Industrial Data Excellence) program launched today. The program aims for radically more efficient use of data with the help of AI, for example. The Intelligent Industry ecosystem connecting leading Finnish companies is behind the InDEx program, which is headed by DIMECC Oy. Besides SSAB, other participants in the InDEx program include Cargotec, Konecranes, HT-Laser and Tieto and Business Finland is providing 40% of the program funding. InDEx aims to build a data community and common data platform for industry in Finland. Looking ahead, this will

    New software robots at SSAB enable employees to focus on more value-added tasks

    We have new non-human team members in SSAB. Software robots named “Ssabine” are now being used to perform several administrative tasks across the company. These “digital workers” are doing manual, repetitive tasks, which allows employees to focus on more value added tasks. Ssabine is what’s known as robotic process automation, or RPA. RPA is a software solution that mimics the actions of humans. This allows repetitive tasks to be performed more efficiently. RPA saves time and enables higher quality, which helps us deliver services faster and more consistently. With robots doing

    SSAB showcases productivity apps at Bauma Munich 2019

    SSAB is presenting a variety of free apps this year at Bauma Munich that can help customers become more productive. The apps are available on the App Store and Google Play. They help customers do the math and add up the savings when using SSAB’s high-strength steels Hardox® wear plate and Strenx® performance steel. Popular apps that have been developed and enhanced over the years include WearCalc and WeldCalc. WearCalc helps users compare different Hardox® grades for their particular application and calculate the increase in service life and payload when upgrading from mild steel to high-

    SSAB Raahe to trial VR to improve workplace safety

    SSAB Raahe is to test the use of virtual reality to improve safety in maintenance work. Working in collaboration with Centria University of Applied Sciences in Ylivieska, SSAB Raahe has created a virtual model of the strip mill walking beam furnace, where slabs are heated for rolling. The model allows maintenance people to visit the maintenance area beforehand to identify potential safety issues. The virtual model of the strip mill walking beam furnace highlights safe access routes and also points to be aware of such as descaling hatches and burner locations. With virtual glasses,

    SSAB joins the DIMECC Intelligent Industry Ecosystem network

    Intelligent Industry is a new innovative ecosystem which brings together leading Finnish actors in the manufacturing industry and digital services providers. SSAB has joined the network in order to develop its business model for the distribution of information in the value chain and to link up with similar international initiatives. “Our main aim as a member of the Intelligent Industry Ecosystem is to carry out pilot projects on intercompany digital communication together with other ecosystem members.

    SSAB is improving safety at work with the help of AI

    SSAB has participated in Business Finland's (former Tekes) and analytics company Sofor’s AI project. The project has combined SSAB’s occupational safety data with AI to enable artificial intelligence to be utilized to analyze and predict working capacity. The aim has been to find the hidden reasons behind workplace accidents in SSAB's operations. This project is the first of its kind in Finland. "We aim to become the world's safest steel company. We strive for zero tolerance for all workplace accidents and occupational diseases. By now, we have already used the easy safety

    Digitalization is a useful tool, not an end in itself

    Digitalization is a buzzword that is hard to avoid these days. People talk about it as revolutionizing everyday life and business. But what does digitalization mean in practice in the steel industry? Niko Korte, who took up the post of Senior Manager, Digital Business Development at SSAB in May this year, is the right person to answer questions about the importance of digitalization. Niko, what do you think are the biggest challenges facing SSAB and the entire steel industry in the near future from the digitalization aspect? Niko: “The manufacturing industry is in the midst
