🚗💪 Transforming the Automotive Sector with Advanced High-Strength Steel (AHSS) 💪🚗 At Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH, we are proud to be at the forefront of innovation in the steel industry, especially in the production of Advanced High-Strength Steel (AHSS) grades. Our commitment to excellence has led us to develop cutting-edge steel solutions that are not just lightweight but exceptionally strong, meeting the evolving needs of the automotive sector. In our quest for innovation, we place a significant emphasis on complex and dual-phase steel grades. These materials are designed to provide unparalleled strength-to-weight ratios, enabling the creation of vehicles that are not only safer and more fuel-efficient but also environmentally friendly. By reducing vehicle weight without compromising safety or performance, we are helping car manufacturers meet stringent emissions standards and drive towards a greener future. Our AHSS grades are the material of choice for automotive manufacturers looking to push the boundaries of design and engineering. From structural components to intricate safety features, our steel is shaping the next generation of automobiles, making them lighter, stronger, and more sustainable. Salzgitter Mannesmann International GmbH and United Steel Services (Pty) Ltd already bring in a high volume of our specialised grades for leading manufacturers in South Africa. #SalzgitterFlachstahl #AHSS #AutomotiveInnovation #Lightweight #HighStrength #Sustainability #FutureOfMobility

Small but MIGHTY! One and DONE in the same machine, INCLUDING laser welding! The “coolness” of Swiss parts never seem to get the recognition they deserve, because they’re so small, but this piece is one of my favorites! Let’s take a look at how it was made! #Tsugami, a leader in precision machine tool manufacturing, boasts machines that operate with remarkable dimensional accuracy, typically within 0.0002 to 0.0005 inches. The versatility of Tsugami Swiss machines, capable of performing complex milling, drilling, and turning operations simultaneously, significantly enhances productivity. In fact, studies have shown that the adoption of Swiss-type lathes can lead to a productivity increase of up to 30%, due to their efficiency in handling intricate parts and reducing cycle times. With their small footprint and high-speed capabilities, these machines optimize shop floor space and resource utilization, crucial factors in maximizing ROI in today's competitive environment. The ability to produce complex parts in a single setup not only reduces lead times but also minimizes the potential for errors, ensuring consistent high-quality outputs.

Join Absolent Americas at our IMTS booth #135464 to find out how to effectively clean air from machining operations.👇🏼 After raw materials are prepared, the next crucial stage in product development is MACHINING. This process is where precision truly takes shape, but it also introduces several challenges: 🔩 Machining: generates fine metal dust and particulates. 💧 CNC machining: uses coolants and lubricants to reduce heat and friction. This creates mist, vapor, and aerosolized droplets that can become suspended in the air. 🔥 High-Speed cutting & drilling: These machining operations can produce smoke, fumes, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and toxic chemicals. All these contaminants—from metal dust to aerosols—need to be properly controlled to protect the safety of workers and maintain a clean working environment. #CNCmachiningsolutions #machiningsolutions #industrialairsolutions #IMTS2024 #absolentaircaregroupamericas

Manufacturing Monday: precision engineering As a leading exhaust aftertreatment system (EATS) manufacturer we’re continuously improving our capabilities to delight our customers. Our recent investment in a new welding platform from Siegmund GmbH allows us to manufacture our larger emissions reduction technologies for medium speed applications in the #powergeneration and #maritime industries. The investment, part of our UK HQ CapEx programme enables our manufacturing team to:  ✔️Configure the platform to accommodate different sized products being built ✔️Reduce weld distortion by effectively clamping material to the flat surface and enabling fast changeovers due to the quick release clamping system ✔️ Have great flexibility as tooling is interchangeable between this and our other welding platforms This welding platform allows us to support some of the largest engine manufacturers in the world with manufacturing quality that is right first time; ensuring your exhaust aftertreatment systems operate at the optimum level your customers demand.
