Hauling ore in hot and humid climates can have a devastating effect on the abrasion resistance of conventional abrasion-resistant steels. Bruce Rock Engineering in Australia was familiar with the challenges facing their mining trailer bodies transporting iron ore in Western Australia.
The simple answer is: It depends. But that doesn’t give you much guidance when you are deciding which wear-resistant steel to choose that will optimize productivity and longevity for the wear parts in your equipment.
Climate change and stricter regulations are driving the construction industry to develop solutions to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Reducing the life cycle impacts of buildings calls for active parties and enablers of the transition across the industry. Ruukki Construction, part of SSAB, is transforming the industry with innovative building products made with more sustainable next-generation steels. New products and a holistic approach to life cycle impacts enable customers to build more sustainably.
Olavi Huhtala, Head of SSAB Europe, has announced that he will retire during winter 2025. A recruitment process to find his successor will now begin.
The new combined research center and office at SSAB’s Raahe steel mill was completed this spring and will be phased in during the fall. As much SSAB steel as possible has been used for the construction of the building, which also serves as a showcase for the company’s own products. The color combination of gray and rusty brown is typical of the factory site.
