High-strength steel shaping the future

SSAB Americas, The Greenbrier Companies and Alter Trading are partnering on a circular economy project that demonstrates how recycled materials can be used to produce near-zero emissions steel and returned to the supply chain for new steel making. The effort begins at SSAB’s Iowa operations where SSAB’s near-zero emissions steel, SSAB Zero™, is produced from recycled metals and fossil-free energy.

SSAB brings Armox® 500 AM Powder to the Eurosatory Defense and Security tradeshow on June 14–19, 2026 — demonstrating how Armox® 500 AM Powder and 3D printing can create protection where armor plates are not optimal.

SSAB is expanding its facility for steel powder for additive manufacturing in Oxelösund, enabling production at commercial scale, strengthening SSAB’s position in advanced materials, and meeting growing demand for high-performance metal powders for 3D printing. Production is planned to be gradually ramped up from the first quarter of 2028, with a capacity of approximately 350 tonnes per year.
