“heatprocessing”: Innovative Partnerships and Research

Welcome to another Technical Tuesday! Today, we look to our European information partner, heatprocessing, to share several new partnerships and innovative research that are happening globally in the world of heat treat.


Salzgitter Flachstahl and Anglo American Reach an “Understanding”

“Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH, subsidiary of Salzgitter AG, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Anglo American. The two partners will join forces in investigating the optimisation of iron ore supplies for direct reduction.

“Anglo American is one of the world’s leading mining groups. The primary aim of the joint research activities is to minimise the CO2 footprint of steel production. The MOU also covers an examination of the lowest possible CO2 process and supply chains.”

NOTICE: Farming for Wind, Need Furnace

“The Yeong Guan Group (YGG) based in Taiwan has chosen ABP Induction as its partner to develop a large-scale sustainable project on the west coast of Taiwan. There, Hai Long 2, a 300 MW offshore wind farm, is to be built in the harbour area of the megacity of Taichung, whose components will be manufactured entirely by local stakeholders in Taiwan.

Hai Long 2 is planned to be a regional industrial centre of excellence for offshore wind energy technology around Taichung. The idea is to concentrate the competence for development and planning as well as the production of corresponding components locally. This is intended to accelerate the transition to a sustainable energy supply through wind turbine technology for Taiwan and the entire Asia-Pacific region.”

Aluminum is the New Steel

“Where steel was once used, aluminium is now driving the future: The ALUMINIUM Business Summit will celebrate its premiere at the Old Steelworks in Düsseldorf from 28 to 29 September 2021.

“With the new hybrid format of the Business Summit, ALUMINIUM, Aluminium Deutschland, the CRU Group and European Aluminium have joined forces to offer a new platform for technological, legislative and industrial exchange, enabling a constructive dialogue to tackle the biggest challenges of the future: low-carbon mobility, digitisation, sustainability and the future rules of the international market. The participants can either be present live at the networking event in Düsseldorf or follow the keynotes, discussion rounds and interviews online.”
