The SHOWTIME research project aimed to develop a steel hybrid solution for onshore wind turbine towers using a lattice structure for the lower portion of the tower and a tubular upper portion. The solution is targeted at tall onshore applications (hub height 120 – 220 meters)....

NEWREBAR research project aims to develop a new typology of steel reinforcing bars provided by enhanced properties in terms of ductility and durability towards aggressive environmental conditions. The need of such kind of steels depends by the fact that the decrease of ductility both under monot...

The project was devoted to the development and application of carbon-free MgO based refractory materials. The absence of carbon would lead to potential advantages like resistance to decarburization or lack of carbon contamination. Even more, in case of better performance, the advantage could be ...

HEROLL was launched with the aim of strengthening the European steel industry by developing new concepts to reduce or even prevent hydrogen embrittlement (HE) of work rolls in cold rolling production stands. In a first step the occurrences of HE of work rolls was characterised. To this end, the ...

The awareness of the importance of fine dust for human health increased strongly within the last years and with it the legislative regulations with regard to both emissions and occupational health. The aim of the project “Prevention of secondary dust emissions in iron making plants using dust su...

High electric energy and coal prices in combination with carbon dioxide taxes have driven European steelmakers to look for alternative chemical energy resources other than primary coal to remain competitive on the global steel market. This fact requires higher flexibility in the steel production...

Often products are improved from a metallurgical point of view without taking into account the industrial feasibility (insufficient TRL). In many occasions the market will demand an improved level of a well-known property within a certain steel concept. Hence it remains difficult to broaden the ...

This project aims at developing a new compound work roll system for hot strip mill finishing stands by exploiting the advantages of laser-cladding to overlay a reusable steel arbour with a thick layer (20 mm) of enhanced tool steel materials. Based on work roll requirement, grades for the core a...

HOTFORM project aimed at developing new ferritic-martensitic dual-phase (DP) and martensitic-bainitic complex-phase (CP) steel grades and their complete manufacturing route, including a hot stamping stage that integrates the required steelmaking annealing operation. The proposed hot forming proc...

This document serves as a checklist for the MS who still plan to continue Controls with Remote Sensing (CwRS) as an On-the-Spot-Checks (OTSCs) regime from January 2023 onwards. The new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) regulation introduces a new delivery model based on delivering performance thr...
