Be it steel, copper or aluminium – the metal industries boast the technologies needed to achieve the climate targets. The pathways to the decarbonisation of their respective companies, however, are as manifold as are the challenges faced by steel mills and foundries, aluminium and copper smelters, forging and rolling mills.11.04.2023
Additive manufacturing has undergone rapid growth in recent years and the future looks bright: experts expect further growth of around 20% within the next four years. The metal industries will also benefit from this.08.02.2023
Disrupted supply chains during the Covid pandemic and the dependencies on countries such as China have placed the issue of secure raw material supplies on the agenda.06.12.2022
Casting trends in the automotive industry will feature among the crucial focal themes of the world’s leading foundry trade fair GIFA held as part of the Bright World of Metals in Düsseldorf from 12 to 16 June 2023.31.08.2022
From Zorc Technology to Tvarit: digitalisation has arrived in the foundry industry. While still standing in the shadow of their sibling sector, the steel industry, foundries have now also realised the potential of digital transformation – driven by the wish to improve the margins of existing business and increasingly by the challenges of decarbonisation.31.08.2022
From ArcelorMittal to Thyssenkrupp: digitalisation has arrived in the steel industry – driven by the wish to improve the margins of existing business and increasingly by the challenges of decarbonisation. It is first and foremost improved earnings and extension of the service portfolio rather than disruptive new business models that feature on the agenda of steel mills.30.06.2022
Castings are indispensable to sustainable and climate-neutral manufacturing. There is no sector of industry that could do without cast components of iron, steel or NF-metals ranging from aluminium to zinc. For export sectors such as automotive and machine tool production the foundry industry is a key sector within their value chains.13.04.2022
The world of metals has a special event in store for the coming year. The trade fair quartet of GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST 2023 – known as The Bright World of Metals – will bring together companies and equipment providers of the international steel and aluminium industry, foundries and metal working companies under the roof of Messe Düsseldorf from 12 to 16 June 2023.13.04.2022
CO2-free steel production can only be achieved by a technology shift from coking coal to green hydrogen and electricity from renewable energies. The first steel companies flag up promising ways to climate neutrality.06.05.2019
Electric cars are picking up speed this year, and companies are increasingly turning into smart factories. Trends with which the metallurgy, heating technology and casting industry can also join the fast lane.
