Report: Heat treatment plants for structural components in the automotive industry

Due to the increasing complexity and daily-extended range of structural components for the automotive industry, their heat treatment is subject to continuous change. The application of new technologies for chassis and drives enhances the new development of components. They are nowadays preferably made of aluminium because of the quite favourable processing capabilities of this material and the very low weight of even complex aluminium parts. With regard to environmental protection aluminium is an important factor due to its recycling capability without quality loss. Moreover, the recycling of aluminium requires less than 5 % of the energy needed for energy generation from alumina. Furthermore, the moderate heat treatment temperatures entail lower energy consumption in comparison with other equivalent materials.

Künstliche Intelligenz: Für mehr Produktivität braucht es die richtigen Rahmenbedingungen

Künstliche Intelligenz: Für mehr Produktivität braucht es die richtigen Rahmenbedingungen

16.06.25

Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) wird ein hohes Potenzial für ökonomische und gesellschaftliche Disruption zugeschrieben. Auch im Bereich der Produktivitätsentwicklung sind die Erwartungen groß. KI kann bereits heute Arbeitsprozesse massiv vereinfachen und beschleunigen. Daher lohnt es sich – abseits von utopischen bzw. dystopischen Zukunftsvisionen –, auf Basis aktueller Studien einen Blick auf konkret zu erwartende Auswirkungen auf die Wirtschaftsentwicklung zu werfen.

ResponsibleSteel and LESS aisbl Urge Robust, Scrap-Conscious Approach to Effective European Steel Decarbonisation

13.06.25

ResponsibleSteel and the Low Emission Steel Standard (LESS aisbl) jointly released a new policy briefing, ‘The Steel Decarbonisation Scale’, urging European policymakers to adopt a more robust and realistic approach to steel decarbonisation – one that recognises the physical limits of scrap supply and incentivises genuine emissions reductions across all steel production routes.
