    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.

The fact that around 4.4

    SSAB’s own steels feature prominently in Raahe steel mill's new research and office building

    The new combined research center and  office at SSAB’s Raahe steel mill was completed this spring and will be phased in during the fall. As much SSAB steel as possible has been used for the construction of the building, which also serves as a showcase for the company’s own products. The color combination of gray and rusty brown is typical of the factory site. Photo: Nick Tulinen The new building is located by the road leading to the factory. The research center will carry out research into both raw materials and the finished products produced at the factory, and will help to

    Second phase of FOSSA collaboration starts

    The second phase of the joint project FOSSA (Fossil-free Steel Applications) coordinated by SSAB Europe has received a positive financing decision from Business Finland. The project supports SSAB’s goal of building a fossil-free value chain from steel production to the end customer. Together with partners in the FOSSA consortium, SSAB aims to create fossil-free or low-carbon value chains for the Finnish mechanical engineering and metal industries. The FOSSA project will enable the development of properties for fossil-free, high-strength steels based on the needs of key customer

    SSAB involved in FFS2 joint project in Finland to develop fossil-free steel skills

    Towards Fossil-Free Steel Phase 2 (FFS2) is a joint project that brings together industry and research institutes in Finland to jointly develop their skills and business in fossil-free steelmaking. SSAB Raahe site and planned mini-mill The transformation to fossil free steelmaking requires a new approach to and research into the entire steel production process. The transformation to fossil-free steelmaking will have a wide-reaching impact on the entire process: the melting and rolling process, side streams and, importantly, the production and use of electrical energy. The

    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

    The Swedish Energy Agency Is Investing Heavily in a Carbon-Dioxide-Free Steel Industry

    SSAB’s, LKAB’s and Vattenfall’s initiative for a carbon-dioxide-free steel industry has gained additional support from The Swedish Energy Agency. Today the agency passed a resolution to finance a 4-year long research project for SEK 99 million. At the same time, the three companies behind the initiative, SSAB, LKAB, and Vattenfall, have decided to form a corporate joint venture to spur on this initiative.“The Swedish Energy Agency’s decision to provide more financing for the initiative for a carbon-dioxide-free steel industry is very exciting news for us. It shows how important this work is

    SSAB SmartSteel forms a basis for the circular economy

    The idea behind SSAB SmartSteel is to make available information and instructions relating to any steel item wherever the item is processed. Each link in the production chain can utilize and accumulate information. This forms a basis for both the circular and platform economy. The result would be less waste than at present and improved productivity and flexibility. The amount of information accumulated throughout the manufacturing chain would enable the development of new services and accelerate and improve the efficiency of product development at each stage. On top of this, the information

    SSAB towards the internet of materials with SSAB SmartSteel

    What if the steel in your car, your house or the cruise ship taking you to your holiday destination was equipped with a key to information describing its entire history? Every party in the production chain could add to and utilize this information, and ultimately the end users - companies or consumers - could rest assured of the quality, safety and sustainability of their product. How would that affect our cities and the way we produce and use the essentials of a modern society? SSAB has recently finalized an R&D project that explores the concept of SSAB SmartSteel, a digital
