The challenges facing the steel industry — energy-intensive processes, availability of CO2-neutral energy and raw materials and complex supply chains — cannot be solved without sustainable and innovative solutions.
Depending on the region, there are different opportunities and risks for a tool steel producer to achieve decarbonization targets, among other things.
Tool steels are indispensable for the mass production of forgings and many other goods. The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) of mass produced goods is becoming increasingly important for buyers in the automotive industry and in other sectors. So the PCF of tool steels, which need to be incorporated into a cradle-to-gate calculation of a product made with them, becomes increasingly important,...
Manufacturing Engineering Casting & Stamping within Volvo Cars is continuously evaluating, developing, and implementing new technology.
This presentation gives an overview of recent research and implementations in the area of die technology and sustainable materials used in casting and stamping at Volvo Cars.
Volvo Cars has also started the journey towards Smart Manufacturing & Digital...
Increasing physical demands on tool steels are directly reflected in a higher molybdenum alloy content. Depending on their application, tool steels are classified into:
• Cold-work tool steels (Mo ≤1.8%)
• Hot-work tool steels (Mo ≤3.0%)
• High-speed tool steels (Mo ≥5%)
Molybdenum additions to tool steels increase both hardness and wear resistance while providing acceptable toughness. By...
The speech will also focus on the production of Metal Powders and Powder Metallurgical Steels and especially its associated production technologies like HIP, MIM and AM. As they are and will become key future core technologies for several demanding products and thus for the usage in different associated industries. The presentation will also highlight the actual supply and demand situation of...
