A SUMMARY OF THIS ISSUE:
- PREFACE FROM OUR COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR MR. FREEK SCHUT
Time for change
- INNOVATION FOR AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
Dual Phase (DP) 800 HyPerform is an innovative Advanced High Strength Steel that's been specially developed for the automotive industry. It uniquely combines the high strength of a DP800 with the better formability properties of DP600, without compromising on weldability. This product was developed in close collaboration with automotive OEMs in order to meet their increasing demand for affordable weight reduction.
- CORUS INTRODUCES YMPRESS LASER IN FRANCE AND GERMANY
InBusiness spoke with John Gamble (Business Developer General Markets) about the new Laser grade of Ympress steel. As a former toolmaker with a degree in physics, John is thoroughly familiar with both the practical and theoretical aspects of working with steel.
- OUR PRODUCT RANGE IN 2010
Each year we publish our product range in a small booklet. In this practical guide you can find the steel products in the standard range of Corus Strip Products IJmuiden. It includes numerous steel types, from hot-rolled steel for forming to metallic coated dual phase steel.
- IMPORTANT TECHNOLOGY TEST UNDER WAY IN IJMUIDEN
Steelmaking without processing raw materials first? ULCOS, a consortium that includes almost all European steel companies, is planning to test whether this is possible on a large scale. And, in January 2010, construction of the test plant started in IJmuiden. The new plant will use the HIsarna process, in which unprocessed coal and iron ore are smelted to produce pig iron (in other words: without the need to first produce sinter, pellets and coke). The big advantage: a major reduction in CO2 emmissions.
- SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION USING CORUS STEEL
Walls made from sustainable materials, energy-saving floors and ceilings and a roof that absorbs CO2 or even generates energy: with sustainable products from Corus, the building of the future is closer than you might think.
The Corus 'zero-energy building' project shows that it's already possible for buildings to generate sufficient energy to compensate for the energy used, for example, in heating, cooling and lighting. This is very useful both for new buildings and for existing homes and offices. But how do you go about building the energy-neutral building of the future, and what materials can you use?
- MAKING BETTER TRAILERS.
