Berlin, 23 April 2015 – ArcelorMittal will participate in CWIEME 2015, the world’s leading exhibition for coil winding, insulation and electrical manufacturing held from 5 to 7 May in Berlin, to present its broad range of electrical steels and R&D capabilities in developing the electrical steels of the future.
New European energy efficiency targets coming into force in 2015 are pushing towards greater efficiency in electrical machines and transformers. In response to this evolution, ArcelorMittal provides the best low-loss [1] non-oriented [2] electrical steels on the market, a range of innovative electrical steels for the automotive market, and specific grades of grain-oriented [3] electrical steels for transformer manufacturers.
At CWIEME 2015, ArcelorMittal will present its broad range of steel grades with specific magnetic properties, used in domestic appliances, building industry, mechanical engineering, electrical equipment, motors and generators, as well as the automotive industry. These include:
Developing the electrical steels of the future
ArcelorMittal’s research and development teams have been applying their expertise in high performance electrical steels for the last 30 years to better anticipate market needs, with specialists dedicated to the different aspects of electrical steel such as texture, structure, coatings, magnetism, mechanical behaviour including fatigue, punching and machine assembly techniques.
As a result of these R&D initiatives, ArcelorMittal is perfectly positioned to develop the next generation of low loss, high permeability electrical steels and optimize the performance of its production lines, such as its new annealing line at Saint-Chély in France, inaugurated in September 2013.
Our advanced technical support using specific software and in-house testing tools allows ArcelorMittal to help its customers to optimize the design and manufacture of their machines.
Today, ArcelorMittal is running 10 major co-engineering and co-design programmes with major producers of high efficiency electrical machines.
ArcelorMittal will be present at stand 41A11 in hall 4.1.
[1] Low level of energy dissipation
[2] Electrical steel made with a special processing to make the steel as isotropic as possible, meaning when the steel is used in motors, these will have a smooth torque. Used for motors and generators (rotating machines)
[3] Electrical steel processed in such a way that its properties and crystal orientation are developed in the rolling direction. Used in power and distribution transformers.
Wiederholt, a leading producer of precision steel tubes, and Europe's largest steel producer ArcelorMittal have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to use CO2-reduced steel in production.
ArcelorMittal Europe – Long Products has made the first delivery of XCarb® recycled and renewably produced beams to customer SPAETER Oberhausen in Germany. It marks an important step for both companies on their journey towards net zero. The two companies announced a low-carbon emissions supply partnership at the Wire Fair in Dusseldorf, in April 2024. #XCarb #steelbeams #SPAETERGruppe #SPAETER
Standing shoulder-to-shoulder towards carbon neutrality: ArcelorMittal Europe - Flat Products and Knauf Interfer are jointly driving forward the sustainability goals set and have an agreement for ArcelorMittal to supply Knauf Interfer with CO2-reduced steel, which saves more than two thirds of CO2 emissions in production. Knauf Interfer, in turn, can pass these CO2 savings on to its customers.
The European Space Agency recently launched the first Ariane 6 rocket into Earth orbit in front of the world’s cameras. ArcelorMittal Rails & Special Sections participated in this major project by producing exceptional quality overhead crane rails, allowing the building around the rocket to move to propel it into space. #cranerails #steelforscience #Ariane6 #space
Our latest, impressive record is two new super wide flange shapes up to 1488kg/m (1000 lbs/ft), in XCarb® recycled and renewably produced. This great achievement comes from ArcelorMittal’s Differdange plant, where it was made possible by a specific device installed at the end of the rolling line there – the Quenched and Self Tempering process (QST) – which allows the production of thick Jumbo sections in high strength steel.
From robust, CO2-reduced support structures for solar roofs to complete turnkey systems: ArcelorMittal will be presenting its wide range of products to trade visitors at Intersolar, the world's leading trade fair for the solar industry, from 19 to 21 June in Munich. Over 1500 exhibitors and more than 115,000 visitors are expected to attend. While ArcelorMittal's flat steel segment will be presenting support structures for solar panels in Hall A6, Stand 534, the experts from ArcelorMittal Construction will be showcasing complete solar systems in Hall A6, Stand 139. #Intersolar #solarenergy #XCarb #Magnelis #Helioroof
