First preview for METEC 2023 – the most relevant international exhibition for the metallurgical sector
METEC will again provide a complete overview of the metallurgical sector from 12 to 16 June 2023 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Tasked with achieving climate neutrality by no later than 2050, the metallurgical industry face what is probably the biggest transformation in their history. This decisive development will be reflected by the Düsseldorf trade fair: on the one hand, the challenges that face the sector; on the other, the innovations that machinery and plant manufacturers offer to the metallurgical industry worldwide.

ArcelorMittal breaks ground on first transformational low-carbon emissions steelmaking project
Transition to DRI-EAF steelmaking set to reduce carbon emissions at ArcelorMittal Dofasco in Canada by 3 million tonnes and remove coal from the company’s North American flat steel franchise. The first onsite construction work has started with the demolition of the decommissioned No.1 coke plant to make room for the new DRI plant. 

CO2 savings from Tata Steel UK’s blast furnace improvement programme
A programme of improvements will reduce the carbon footprint of the Port Talbot site by about 160,000 tonnes of CO2 a year. Within the framework of the programme Tata Steel is improving the performance of some of the hot blast stoves. Also, the Topscan monitoring instrument has been installed at both blast furnaces. CO2 savings come from the more efficient use of coke and hot blast gas.   A

Digimelter for sustainable, competitive, green steelmaking
Digimelter® is the Danieli answer for modern, clean, competitive, sustainable green steelmaking, recognized by the market as the new benchmark technology for electric steelmaking to melt scrap and DRI. Its technological advantages comprise lower power and electrode consumption thanks to the Q-One power feeder, for zero impact on the power grid and the possibility to use renewable energies. Digimelter is a Danieli-patented technology with a unique combination of power, intelligence, and environmentally friendly equipment for achieving 15,000 heats per year with minimal OpEx, lowest environmental impacts, and high flexibility for raw materials.       

Forging Technology Suite
The Forging Technology Suite has been developed as a new step in pass schedule design for radial forging. To support forging engineers during pass schedule calculation and material properties optimization the existing technology software ComForge® is transferred into to a forging technology suite now covering all extensions like the pass schedule calculator, the pass schedule analyzer and the property predictor. The software tool will be continuously developed further in the future.     

Advanced burner technology will heat thyssenkrupp’s newest continuous galvanizing plant
thyssenkrupp Steel recently inaugurated its newest continuous galvanizing line FBA 10 in Dortmund, Germany. The new line sets a global benchmark in energy efficiency and low-emission heating saving between 15% and 30% fuel as compared with conventionally heated furnaces. At the same time, particularly low NOx emission values are achieved. The heating system also creates a perfect basis for a later switch to green fuels such as hydrogen.  

STEEL TRADE / STEEL DISTRIBUTION

Digital resource management: Keeping an eye on all assets
The industry platform "Steelsuite" enables companies to enter into digital resource management with manageable effort. The "Asset Manager" module displays the operating status of machinery, equipment and other operating resources. Malfunctions and maintenance or service deadlines are visible at a glance. Thus, the availability of operating resources increases and maintenance costs can be reduced.   

thyssenkrupp Materials Processing Europe implements mpe edi to address time savings and error rates
Time savings and the reduction of error rates in production workflows as well as business processes are becoming increasingly important for customers. Fast and compact information exchange is essential for the smooth running of business processes and also saves resources elsewhere. Service center specialist thyssenkrupp Materials Processing Europe has optimized the exchange of data with its customers via edi and added several new functions. 

STEEL PROCESSING / steel application and materials

Inline measurement of roughness and oil film thickness at Smart Press Shop
Two inline systems have been commissioned for surface roughness and oil film measuring at Smart Press Shop of Porsche and Schuler. The systems provide high-precision data for two parameters that have decisive influence on downstream press forming processes and help to reduce waste.   

Advanced material solution on the horizon for oil, gas and LNG applications
An innovative range of high strength austenitic stainless steels has been developed that will revolutionize the design and construction of onshore and offshore facilities in the oil, gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector. The N’GENIUS steel series possesses major improvements compared to 300 Series stainless steels, and a highly economical alternative to various nickel-alloys. Its unique combination of design characteristics, i.e. excellent ductility and toughness at sub-zero and cryogenic temperatures together with exceptionally higher strength and vastly superior corrosion resistance provides key engineering advantages for the onshore and offshore industry.

Inserts:
Conditions for order acceptance and confirmation by the publishing house are the presentation of a binding sample, if necessary a dummy sample with size and weight indication. Inserts may only be used for the sales program of an advertiser. The insert must be designed in such a way that the reader does not associate it with the text part of the magazine. The placement will be carried out according to the technical possibilities. Exclusively for MPT International.

As the material is inserted loose, i.e. without fixture of any kind, it must be a single piece. The inserted material must be delivered in such a condition that no additional handling or processing is required. Any extra work (e.g. folding) will be separately charged. Inserts printed on a
material other than paper will not be accepted unless a compulsory sample has been furnished before, for checking its suitability for processing and shipping. Inserts consisting of several sheets must close up towards the binding, i.e. towards the inserting direction.
