Few materials offer the versatility of steel. By adding alloying elements, we can tailor steel’s properties to meet the diverse needs of industries ranging from automotive to aerospace. Alloys are created by adding elements like carbon, chromium, and nickel to base metals, transforming them into materials with enhanced strength, corrosion resistance, or heat tolerance. Steel becomes even more versatile with the addition of these elements. Learn more about the alloying elements and their effects.

We made a significant investment in the modernization of our Sorel production facility in Sorel-Tracy, Quebec. The modernization includes replacing the current 5,000-ton press with a state-of-the-art 6,700-ton press and transitioning from a natural gas-powered forging furnace to an energy-efficient electric furnace. These innovations will enhance productivity, improve product quality, and significantly reduce CO2 emissions. “We are committed to being a world leader in forged tool steel by continuously improving our quality, productivity, and capacity,” said Frank Koch, CEO of SSG. “This project is a critical step in securing our operations in Quebec for the future while also contributing to global decarbonization efforts.” The investment was partially supported by both the Canadian and Quebec governments, highlighting the importance of this initiative for the regional industry and the global environmental strategy. The 6,700-ton press not only increases processing capabilities but also reduces material waste thanks to its precision. The shift to an electric furnace is a critical move toward decarbonization, helping both our customers and us meet ambitious climate goals. 📸 Nath B #sorel #electricfurnace  #canada #productivity #co2emissions  #steelindustry

Net-zero by 2038? - Discover our SBTi targets 💡 This spring, we became the first steel producer to have scientifically approved decarbonization targets. Indeed, the Science Based Target (SBTi) initiative has approved the fact that we will be able to achieve the following targets: - short-term by 2030 - net-zero by 2038. Our targets are implemented in different areas of the steelmaking process. Discover these targets and check out what their perimeters are in this video! 👉 Watch the full video now: https://lnkd.in/eFX8QrUp #sbti #climatetarget #climate #steelproducer #netzero #steelmaking

In one of our last posts, we talked about our valuable source material - scrap steel. To transform the input material into high-quality output requires large amounts of energy. Our main energy sources are electrical energy and natural gas. Electrical energy is mainly consumed by our electric arc furnaces, whereas natural gas is primarily used for the generation of process heat in our rolling mill and our forging and heat treatment furnaces. Wherever possible, we use the heat contained in waste gas in heat exchangers such as regenerators. We also use waste heat to reduce our own natural gas consumption and CO2 emissions for heating. The rolling mill in Emmenbrücke, Switzerland, and the heat treatment shop in Ugine, France, also feed part of their waste heat into district heating networks. On this basis, strategic and operational energy targets are set, and energy measures are planned, implemented, and monitored. #energy #swisssteelgroup #co2 #srcap #electricarcfurnace #Emmenbrücke #Ugine #energytarget

Swissloop is a student-led initiative with the goal of contributing to the research on advancement of the Hyperloop technology and its application in the real world and we are a major sponsor of them. Hyperloop technology represents a revolutionary mode of high-speed ground transportation, conceptualized by Elon Musk in 2013. The idea behind the Hyperloop is to transport passengers and cargo at speeds faster than traditional rail or road transport. Supporting Swissloop also aligns with our commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly solutions. Hyperloop technology aims to provide a sustainable alternative to traditional transportation methods and has potential for the integration of renewable energy sources such as solar panels along the tube structure. While Hyperloop remains a concept with various pilot projects and test tracks, its potential to transform transportation is immense. #swissloop #hyperloop #research #sustainability #tube #groundtransportation

Green Steel Stainless+ is produced according to ISO 14021 with over 95% recycled material. As our scrap comes mainly from Europe, we have been able to reduce the Scope 3 emissions of Stainless+ by over 75%. Furthermore, the CO2 footprint is around 1,0 tCO2e per tonne of steel supplied. In addition to the sustainability aspect, our Green Steel Stainless+ also boasts outstanding properties: depending on the requirement profile, it is corrosion and heat resistant, offers excellent mechanical properties or is non-magnetic. Its visual and architectural advantages make it particularly attractive for a wide range of applications. Examples include use in the construction industry, in the automotive sector, for household appliances and in medical and aerospace technology. The introduction of Green Steel Stainless+ represents a significant step in our efforts to offer more environmentally friendly and sustainable products. And we won't stop here; we'll keep at it! #stainlesssteel #greensteel #recycling #co2footprint #corrosion #heatresistant #nonmagnetic #automotive #medical #aerospace
