SSAB Product Engineering’s unique and lean development method assures you of the best combination of AHSS design optimization, manufacturability, and cost efficiencies. Together we can develop entirely new possibilities for stronger, lighter, and more sustainable steel products and engineered solutions.
The SSAB strip-rolling facility in Borlänge, Sweden produces heavy steel scrap as a by-product of converting steel slabs into coils and plates of cold- and hot-rolled high-strength steel. The heavy steel scrap was collected at the mill and loaded into a railroad gondola wagon — a heavy-duty, open-top car. The train would then take the scrap to SSAB’s mill in Luleå, in northern Sweden, to be recycled into new steel slabs.
