From 25 – 29 October 2016, EuroBLECH 2016 will open its doors in Hanover, Germany. The exhibition will, once again, be the meeting place for sheet metal working professionals from all over the world looking to find enhanced machinery and innovative production solutions. Visitors will be able to discover an extensive variety of products, from conventional systems to high-tech solutions, and gain an insight into the latest technological advancements in sheet metal working. With this year’s theme “The New Generation of Sheet Metal Working”, EuroBLECH 2016 reflects the trend towards digitalisation and smart manufacturing in modern sheet metal processing. Five months ahead of the show, the organisers, Mack Brooks Exhibitions, announce a further increase in exhibition space of the world’s leading trade show for this industry sector.
The dual-certified Strenx 700 OME meets the standard requirements of ABS AB EQ70 / DNV-GL NVE 690 / LR EH69. In addition to the class approvals, SSAB has taken the workshop properties to a new level for this category of steels by also certifying the steel according to Strenx guarantees.
Iron ore prices developed relatively strongly in the first quarter of 2016. However, the price level was lower than in the same period last year, which meant that LKAB’s operating profit for the quarter totalled MSEK 171 (375). In view of the expected continued oversupply of iron ore products, the recent upturn in iron ore prices is judged to be temporary.
Based on many years of experience in stationary thermal imaging devices for the measurement of high temperatures DIAS Infrared brings a flexible portable and robust infrared camera for short-wave measurement of high temperatures for the first time on the market. By using a high-dynamic-Si array a continuous range of 600 ° C to 1500 ° C or optional 1400 ° C to 3000 ° C is realized.
Thanks to a long and successful series, the ROLLING conferences have become the premier international event for rolling practitioners worldwide. The target audience embraces the whole metals rolling community: flat and long products rolling, hot and cold rolling and ferrous and non-ferrous rolling.
These new published two books are handbooks for students at technical universities and engineers working in rolling mills. They can be used for their individual examination preparations and for upgrading basic knowledge in rolling theory. Latter is necessary for solving daily challenges in practical work. Some equations are compiled to provide practical estimations of rolling parameters to be used in daily work.

Deutsche Edelstahlwerke has once again reinforced their position as a quality leader in the long specialty steel products segment. After investing approximately € 4.5 m in an additional, innovative bright steel production facility at their location in Hagen, the company is setting new standards in regard to process reliability and flexibility in the production of premium bar. The facilities which began operations in February 2016 consist of a bar-drawing line, two grinding machines and a crack-detection system. State-of-the-art technologies guarantee consistent quality that is reproducible at any time for a total bar length between two and 6.2m and diameters of five to 16 mm.
Large industrial facilities and steel structures have a lot of surface area open to attack. Only several layers of an anti-corrosion coating can ensure that wind turbines, steel bridges and ships fulfill their purpose and pay off in the long run.
