Enapter AG expands its portfolio with AEM electrolysers
cycle times . Mantle ’ s 420 Stainless Steel has excellent corrosion resistance and eliminates the concern of conformal cooling channels clogging due to rust .
GEFO orders 4 methanol-ready chemical tankers in China
Enapter AG is expanding its strong market position in the field of AEM technology with a further sales success in Italy . After Enapter received two orders for a total of four AEM Nexus from Italy in Q1 2024 , Cogne Acciai Speciali SpA , a manufacturer of stainless steel and nickel alloys long products for various sectors such as automotive , oil and gas , chemicals and aviation , has now ordered a 1-megawatt electrolyser from Enapter . This AEM Nexus 1000 multicore electrolyser is to be operated at the Cogne plant in the Aosta Valley using solar and hydroelectric power . Cogne plans to use the hydrogen produced on site primarily for process heat applications in order to further decarbonise its production processes . Enapter has already received orders for a total of seven AEM multicore electrolyser with a total output of 6.5 MW for various Hydrogen Valley projects in Italy .
Mantle ’ s 420 stainless for 3D printing
German shipping company GEFO has ordered up to four methanol-ready 7,900 dwt chemical tankers in China . The 7,400 dwt chemical tankers will feature stainless steel tanks . Furthermore , they will be of the highest ice class 1A . The order for the ships was placed at Nantong Xiangyu shipyard in Nantong , China . According to GEFO , the ships ’ hulls will be optimised for the frequently demanding weather conditions in the North Sea and Baltic Sea . The tankers are scheduled for delivery in late 2026 and early 2027 .
The Schmidt + Clemens Group is your specialist for high-grade steel .
Mantle , a pioneer in metal 3D printing technology for toolmaking , has released its 420 Stainless Steel material . This material addition improves toolmaking processes , enhancing speed and efficiency while reducing labour requirements , which is especially beneficial in industries such as medical that require corrosion-resistant tooling . Mantle ’ s 420 Stainless Steel is chemically equivalent to traditional 420 stainless steel , which is renowned for its high strength , hardness , corrosion resistance , and polish ability . It is a preferred mould material for a wide range of tooling applications , including components with conformal cooling and medical device tooling . Mantle ’ s 420 Stainless Steel allows manufacturers to rapidly produce production-grade tooling during prototyping and product development , thereby shortening the time to produce steel tooling for validation part moulding by as much as 80 %. Mantle ’ s 420 Stainless Steel is especially beneficial for tooling applications that employ conformal cooling channels . These channels enable more efficient cooling than traditional cooling methods , improving moulding performance and reducing
