  • Largest-ever heat size at a vacuum oxygen decarburization (VOD) plant
  • Same plant reached record-low carbon levels
  • Deep know-how in steelmaking key for handling heat size this big

Recently, a vacuum oxygen decarburization (VOD) plant supplied by Primetals Technologies achieved a heat size of 298.2 tons – a world record in stainless steelmaking. In addition, the same plant reached a carbon content of 5 parts per million (ppm) after decarburization, which marks another world record for VOD plants. Turkish steel producer Çolakoğlu operates the plant, located in Dilovası about 60 kilometers to the south-east of Istanbul.

Hydrogen appears an early yet significant substitute for PCI coal in blast furnaces

Key takeaways:

  • Russia supplies virtually all of Europe’s PCI coal. Australia as the only other major supplier is unlikely to be able to make up for lost Russian supplies.
  • Steelmakers are slowly starting to shift to low- and zero-emissions steelmaking processes that don’t use coal.
  • PCI coal will be the first grade of metallurgical coal impacted by the decarbonisation of steel.
  • Rio Tinto, BHP, BlueScope and Thyssenkrupp are exploring alternative options to the use of PCI coal

LaVa-X and RAYLASE: technology partnership for increased productivity and reduced resource consumption with laser welding in vacuum.

Fuel cells are considered a key technology in the energy transition. Due to the expanding electromobility, the demand for bipolar plates for fuel cells is also increasing. It is therefore increasingly important to weld the plates quickly and with as little effort as possible. The highest quality requirements must be met at all times. For optimized welding processes, LaVa-X, a solution provider for laser beam welding in a vacuum, is cooperating with RAYLASE, a provider of components for rapid deflection and modulation of laser beams.

High complexity in logistics for steel production

The supply chain still faces huge challenges after more than two years of pandemic: Chain disruptions, labor shortages, high costs and unconnected and barely digital systems all affect operations. Speed and scalability are among the two biggest requirements retailers and warehouse operators have for supply chain innovation today. One way to increase supply chain efficiency quickly and easily is through the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
