    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 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.

    Waste heat from SSAB Hämeenlinna feeds into Loimua’s district heating network

    The heating and cooling plant built by energy company Loimua at SSAB’s Hämeenlinna site is now complete and operational. The plant utilizes waste heat from SSAB Hämeenlinna in the city’s district heating network and covers about 15% of Hämeenlinna’s district heating needs. “This project supports SSAB’s sustainability goals. It’s great that industrial waste heat can be used for city heating in this way. We have previously delivered small amounts of heat energy recovered from the flue gases of galvanizing line 2 to Loimua, and the cooperation has worked well,” says Mikko Lepistö,

    Ruukki Construction expands climate targets to full value chain – aiming for net-zero by 2045

    Ruukki Construction, part of SSAB and a leading supplier of sustainable, steel-based building products, announces new climate targets that go beyond its own operations to cover the entire value chain. The move strengthens Ruukki’s role as a frontrunner in sustainable construction and supports its long-term goal of a carbon-neutral future for the built environment. Ruukki Construction, Alajärvi site After significantly reducing emissions from its own operations (Scope 1 and 2), Ruukki is now committing to bold, new climate targets in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (

    Start of short-distance deliveries by e-truck from SSAB in Hämeenlinna

    SSAB Europe and Kuljettava Oy (earlier VR Transpoint road logistics) have a joint project to electrify heavy-duty transports. Heavy-duty vehicle charging points have been installed at SSAB’s Hämeenlinna Works and Kuljettava Oy has invested in two fully electric Scania semi-trailer combinations, the first of which started deliveries of steel products on January 9, 2025 to SSAB’s customers within up to 100-km radius of the Hämeenlinna Works. The first delivery by e-truck to SSAB’s customer in Finland left Hämeenlinna Works for BE Group in Lahti on January 9, 2025. ”It’s great

    SSAB and Saint-Gobain’s unique joint project in Raahe to utilize ladle slag moves forward

    Saint-Gobain’s new slag processing plant in Raahe, Finland is now under construction and will complete next year. SSAB in turn is transforming its own slag handling process and is investing in the related solutions for this, including cooling and logistics. This joint project between the two companies will turn the slag created as a by-product in steelmaking into low-carbon binders to replace traditional cements. Saint-Gobain and SSAB are building a circular economy process that will turn side streams from SSAB’s steelmaking into low-carbon binders for Saint-Gobain Weber’s dry

    SSAB at COP29: Time to commit to ambitious climate plans to drive the transition forward

    SSAB is joining Business Sweden’s delegation to the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. Our hope is that countries increase their national ambitions to limit climate change and to create enabling conditions for investments and a competitive transformation. SSAB will describe our journey to near zero-emission steelmaking as a way of exemplifying what breakthrough technologies are available to decarbonize the steel industry. Last year’s COP marked a moment of progress as the need to transition away from fossil fuels was mentioned for the first time

    SSAB’s updated climate goals approved by the Science Based Targets initiative

    SSAB’s near- and long-term carbon emissions reduction targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Approval means that the targets are scientifically based and in line with the SBTi’s raised requirements for companies to deliver on the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. SSAB’s now validated long-term target is to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions for Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 by 2045*. The updated near-term target is a reduction of 48 percent in greenhouse gas emissions in Scope 1, Scope 2 and parts of Scope 3 by 2033 compared with

    Ruukki introduces new LowCarbon offering: emission reductions of up to 70%

    Ruukki Construction, a subsidiary of SSAB Group, launches a new Ruukki® LowCarbon offering, which aims to respond to ever-tightening environmental regulations and customer needs to reduce the lifecycle emissions of their buildings. The first product in the range is Ruukki® Classic LowCarbon, a roof profile which has an emissions impact that is up to 70% lower than that of a roofing profile made of standard steel. In Scandinavia, the corresponding roofing range will be offered under the name Plannja Infinity. Together with Peab, SSAB and Wihlborgs, Ruukki presented the world's

    Waste heat from SSAB Hämeenlinna to be used in district heating network

    SSAB and energy company Loimua have agreed on the utilization of waste heat from SSAB Hämeenlinna (Finland) in the Hämeenlinna district heating network. Loimua will build a heating and cooling plant on SSAB's site. The plant will have a heating capacity of around 10 MW and produce approximately 70 GWh of district heat per year. This corresponds to the heating needs of approximately 3,000 single-family houses and covers around 15% of Hämeenlinna's heating needs. Loimua has taken a decision on the investment, which is worth more than EUR 10 million. The Ministry of Economic Affairs

    SSAB launches world’s first emission-free steel powder

    SSAB is today launching the world’s first emission-free steel powder for commercial deliveries, made of recycled SSAB Zero[®] steel. The product will create opportunities for customers to 3D-print their unique designs in steel produced without fossil carbon dioxide emissions. The powder combines the properties of SSAB’s high-strength steel with the light structural possibilities of 3D-printing.

GreenCoat also has many other documented

    SSAB is investing in the environment –switching to natural gas

    It is now confirmed that SSAB in Borlänge is converting one of the reheating furnaces in the Rolling Mill to natural gas. SSAB’s environmental target of reducing nitrogen oxide emissions to 300 tonnes/year will thereby be achieved. In addition, emissions of carbon dioxide will be reduced to 40,000 tonnes/year and the current emissions of 400 tonnes of sulphur dioxide per year will cease almost entirely.SSAB’s vision is a stronger, lighter and more sustainable world. Part of this work involves adapting the energy system to enable a more bio-based energy supply, diversifying the risks
