The flexible setup allows testing of any type of industrial cooling system.
Addressing key challenges in hot and cold roll grinding mills
Roll maintenance can be a challenge for rolling mills, since rolls are typically made from hard-to-grind materials, requiring specialty grinding wheels that must not compromise roll integrity or safety. Industrial roll grinding is more than just maintenance; it is a key step that directly impacts the quality of the final product as well as mill uptime and throughput. Common roll grinding challenges are addressed with a focus on achieving maximum productivity and ensuring quality.

Driving higher quality and process stability with new straightening technology at Steel Service Centre Poland
At ArcelorMittal SSC Europe, the Polish team in Kraków completed a project involving the modernization of the cut-to-length line from FIMI, aimed at developing a hybrid straightening technology that represents a world-class innovation. Thanks to this investment, a key stage in preparing sheets for thermal cutting has been significantly improved, and material quality has increased substantially. The straightening process and accompanying research now allow the company to deliver sheets with tighter flatness tolerances and reduced internal stresses, which directly impact work safety, efficiency, and downstream savings for customers.
Worthington Steel to acquire Kloeckner & Co
The merger creates the second largest steel service center company in North America with over US$9.5 billion of combined revenue. It is expected to be a highly complementary combination that strengthens Worthington Steel's strategic offerings in key product categories and regions and further diversifies Worthington Steel’s footprint across North America and Europe.

Steel technology
Slab mould plate design Steel producers always try to reduce operational costs, particularly limiting wear of components without compromising process stability or product quality. The newly developed Cu+ slab mould plate concept addresses this challenge through a combination of up to 50% increased lifetime, an optimised cooling approach, and full compatibility with existing caster infrastructure. This enables a new balance between technological performance and cost efficiency in continuous casting operations.
Engineering the next generation of steel casting fluxes
Reducing fluorine content in casting fluxes has become a strategic priority for many steelmakers. Environmental considerations and maintenance-related costs are increasingly encouraging the industry to move toward safer and cleaner formulations. Research teams have therefore been working for several years on one key objective: maintain the full performance of conventional fluxes while significantly reducing fluorine levels.
