12 INNOVATIONS
Visual database ‘ The Beauty of Steel ’ An innovative initiative by Viktor Macha aims to change how we view steel production by creating the world ’ s largest image database celebrating the steel industry .
14 SUSTAINABILITY
Green and circular : the future of stainless steel production In the past three years , the dash to green steel , both carbon and stainless , has accelerated . Stainless steel is intrinsically more sustainable than carbon steel because it is more durable , as well as being used extensively in green transition applications .
20 WELDING
Fusion welding drastically reduces production time An advanced electron beam ( EB ) welding technology developed by Cambridge Vacuum Engineering ( CVE ) has the potential to transform the speed at which small nuclear power stations can be built .
22 SUSTAINABILITY
Green steel from toxic red mud An economical process with green hydrogen can be used to extract CO 2
- free iron from the red mud generated in aluminium production .
23 AEROSPACE
Crack Image Quality Indicators NASA is utilising Crack Image Quality Indicators ( CIQIs ) to optimise X-ray part inspections and develop a rapid , costefficient crack verification technique .
24 RECYCLING
Scrap partnership to produce green steel Scrap is the primary raw material for Swiss Steel Group . Producing steel from pre-sorted scrap requires less energy and generates less
CO 2 than producing steel from iron ore and alloy metals . The quality of the scrap directly affects the quality and environmental impact of the resulting steel .
25 MOLYBDENUM
Global moly production and use rises in 2023 Molybdenum is added to alloy steels to improve strength , toughness , hardenability and weldability .
26 SUSTAINABILITY
