  1. 43. Heating Ingots with Oxyfuel and Hydrogen before Rolling and Forging
    Joachim von Scheele (Linde GmbH)
    14/10/2026, 14:00
    Oral Presentation

    Since 1990 Linde has converted 190 reheat furnaces to oxyfuel operations; 62 of them for heating of ingots before rolling or forging. Oxyfuel combustion can significantly increase energy efficiency and immediately reduce the carbon footprint, paving the way for the efficient future use of hydrogen as fuel. An overview of these installations and technology used, Flameless Oxyfuel, is...

  2. 22. Effects of Axial Feed Direction on Forged Shape in Mandrel-Less Incremental Forging of Circular Variable-Cross-Section Tube Ends
    Takahiro Makiyama (Institute of Technologists)
    14/10/2026, 14:20
    Oral Presentation

    To reduce CO2 emissions in the transportation industry, weight reduction and resource efficiency are crucial issues. Tubes with variable cross-sections offer significant advantages in meeting these needs. This research examines the effects of different axial feed directions on the forged shape in the proposed mandrel-less incremental forging. Compared to conventional forming processes such as...

  3. 42. Industrial trials with renewable dimethyl ether as fuel in an ingot reheating furnace
    Gustav Häggström (Swerim AB)
    14/10/2026, 14:40
    Oral presentation (paper for journal’s special issue)

    Dimethyl ether (DME) has emerged as a promising renewable alternative to natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), producible through both thermochemical and electro‑fuel pathways. With combustion characteristics comparable to methane and a similar Wobbe index, DME offers favorable handling properties as a condensable gas that can be stored long‑term at moderate pressures (<10 atm). These...

  4. 30. Optimizing Induction Heating for Steel Billets: A Multiphysics Approach to Electrification and Decarbonization
    Matteo Gregori (RINA Consulting – CSM S.p.a.)
    14/10/2026, 15:00
    Oral presentation (paper for journal’s special issue)

    The modern steel industry is undergoing a profound paradigm shift driven by digital transformation and the urgent need for process decarbonization.Central to this evolution is the electrification of reheating processes before rolling, a fundamental necessity for the abatement of CO2 emissions of existing steel plants.Within this context, electromagnetic induction stands out as a primary...

  5. 27. Water Footprint Reduction in the Metallurgical Sector through Oily Emulsion Reuse and the WASM Method
    Mr Angelo Ferranti (Contec Industry)
    14/10/2026, 15:20
    Oral Presentation

    This study analyzes the application of WASM - Water Assessment for Sustainability Method, a structured decision-support framework that enables the evaluation of scenarios, risks and technological alternatives prior to operational investments.

    The method is structured into 4 phases—Decision Governance, Technical Validation, Solution Design and Implementation—ensuring an...
