This study examines the laser cutting applications of five key materials in the construction industry: High Strength Steel (HSS), Stainless Steel (StS), Weathering Steel (WS, also known as COR-TEN®), Reclaimed Steel (RS), and Aluminum. The analysis considers each material's unique characteristics, market trends, and the role of laser cutting in increasing sustainability and cost-effectiveness,...
Vehicle safety has improved spectacularly in recent decades with an estimated 25,000 fewer fatalities per year since the 1960s. At the same time, electrification has contributed to a significant increase in vehicle mass in the same period which partly negates any environmental benefit. Improved designs are essential to increase overall structural integrity and reduce weight, to meet future...
Acciaieria Arvedi, with its ISP® and ESP® plants, produces flat rolled carbon steels certified carbon neutral from EAF steelmaking and thin slab continuous casting with direct rolling starting from recycled materials. The steels are produced for many different end-uses including stamping and deep-drawing for the automotive industry, building and structural applications, pipes for water, energy...
Using hydrogen/natural gas mixtures or pure hydrogen instead of natural gas is a key approach to industrial decarbonization, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel consumption. Given the extensive gas network, these mixtures are expected to be transported using existing infrastructure.
Natural gas pipelines consist of various components, including pipes, valves, and flange joints....
The hydrogen combustion in reheating and heat treatment furnaces produces a new furnace atmosphere without or with lower concentration of CO2 and consequently higher H2O concentration. The higher water vapour content can change steel’s oxidation kinetic, as well as the oxide scale morphology and the oxide-steel interface features thus affecting the scale adhesion. The oxidation kinetics and...
