    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.

    3D-technology brings new opportunities

    Can 3D printed + Laser hardened tools meet the tough demands of SSAB's production? The answer is yes and SSAB in Borlänge has proved it. The 3D-printed stamps with laser hardening had a lifespan three times longer than the stamps used earlier. In addition to improved service life, the manufacturing cost is significantly lower. At SSAB's operations in Borlänge, Signode straps are used to prevent the coils from opening and to ensure safe shipping. The straps are held in place by a stamping operation which locks the strap ends together. Some of the strapping machines are old and

    Unplanned production outage in Raahe, affects first quarter results

    One of SSAB’s blast furnaces in Raahe, Finland has been affected by an unplanned outage. Repair work is expected to last throughout February and SSAB Europe’s first quarter 2022 earnings are expected to take a SEK 600 million hit.One of the blast furnaces at SSAB’s steel mill in Raahe, Finland has been shut down for repairs. Repair work is expected to last throughout February after which it is expected the blast furnace can be restarted. The outage will result in lost production and shipments, as well as repair costs. The earnings of SSAB Europe are expected to be impacted negatively by

    SSAB plans a new Nordic production system and to bring forward the green transition

    SSAB’s Board has taken a policy decision to fundamentally transform Nordic strip production and accelerate the company’s green transition. The decision was taken against the background of strongly growing demand for fossil-free steel. The plan is to replace the existing system with new mini-mill technology, which will result in a broader product program and improved cost position. The ambition is to largely eliminate carbon dioxide emissions around 2030, 15 years earlier than previously announced. However, to achieve this ambition, the necessary infrastructure, access to fossil-free

    SSAB Europe’s Hämeenlinna Tube Mill investment progresses – warehouse extension at rooftop height

    Last October, SSAB Europe announced it was to modernize the production lines at the Hämeenlinna Tube Mill in Finland as part of the restructuring of its tube production operations. The around SEK 300 million investment in the Hämeenlinna Tube Mill has progressed to the stage where the warehouse extension is at rooftop height and the topping out ceremony will be held on June 14, 2019. “When the warehouse extension is completed in August, it will enable more efficient in-house logistics and warehousing,” says Kari Väliaho, General Manager, SSAB Europe, Tubular products. The next

    Production breakdown in conjunction with maintenance outage at SSAB Special Steels in Oxelösund

    Due to a breakdown at the rolling mill in conjunction with restarting after the maintenance outage at the Oxelösund site in Sweden, it is estimated that production will restart about one and a half weeks later than originally estimated.SSAB earlier announced that the annual planned maintenance outage at SSAB Special Steels in Oxelösund took place during the fourth quarter. A production breakdown has occurred in the rolling mill in conjunction with the restart of production after the planned outage. This breakdown will imply a production and delivery loss of around 25,000 tonnes in

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

    SSAB is increasing production in Oxelösund

    In response to improved demand for quenched steels, first and foremost within SSAB Americas, SSAB is planning to increase hot metal production in Oxelösund. Production will resume at the larger blast furnace, which has been out of operation since July 2011, while the smaller blast furnace will be temporarily closed.“We are witnessing stronger demand for our quenched steels in Latin America, and thus we are increasing our production in Oxelösund,” says Melker Jernberg, Head of Business Area SSAB EMEA. “This also means increased production in the rolling mill and in other operations in
