This #throwbackthursday, we celebrate Alexander Lyman Holley, the American engineer who revolutionized steel production. Whats Holley's hustle? Holley was a pioneer in applying research to modern steel manufacturing processes. He played a crucial role in introducing the Bessemer process to the United States, dramatically increasing steel production. Did you know? Holley was a founding member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Whats the real world impact? Holley's work helped to fuel the Industrial Revolution, making steel a cornerstone of American industry and shaping our modern world. #steelpioneer #industrialrevolution #engineering #history #anythinginmetal #asme

I am proud to represent SALCOS® | Salzgitter AG at the ESF24 in Essen and discuss about “strategies for large scale projects in the steel industry”. Approaching challenges like overcapacity in the market, huge finance necessary for the transformation, expertise in the required capacity and reliability of regulatory frameworks as well as energy prices and market pull are critical. Todays discussion at the ESF24 has clearly confirmed that partnerships are the right approach to the topics at the time. What are your strategies to manage challenges in complex market conditions?
Just in time for the start of the European Steel Forum, we bring you the final panel of the program, Execution Strategies for Large-Scale Steel Projects. This last discussion will pack a punch as the panelists dive into the dual approach of investing in cutting-edge technologies and enhancing existing facilities while navigating supplier and price instability along with risk management. You will hear from several experts on how steel producers are overcoming these obstacles and developing effective execution models. Moderator: Guus Kessler, Managing Partner, DAREL B.V. Panelists: Stéphane Raymond, Regional Managing Director, Europe, Hatch Küttner Carl Orrling, Vice President Technical Strategic Development, SSAB AB Miles Shephard, Vice President, IDOM Inc. Martin Zappe, Program Director, SALCOS, Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH Learn more and see the full program schedule. https://lnkd.in/eWVD378H

Top 10 Materials Engineering Moves for Max Structural Component Reliability Join the PMA New England District after the Design2Part New England Show on Wednesday, October 16 for networking, dinner and an informative presentation. More information and register here: https://bit.ly/4dbiBla Presented by Donald Baskin, Ph.D., Principal and Founder, Spectrum Materials Engineering LLC. From failed #fasteners to bottoms that rip out of railroad tanker cars, Dr. Baskin sees a broad range of #materials-engineering related failures in his engineering practice. From his experiences there are only about 10 materials-related decisions that lead to the majority of broken #structuralcomponents. Some of these culprits include #corrosion/ #embrittlement, creation of unintended #stress concentrations, and accidental #microstructural modifications. On October 16, Dr. Baskin will share his top 10 culprits and contribute to improving the reliability of structural components of which audience members are involved.
