Researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology found that liquid lead forms an ultrathin film on steel surfaces, driving rapid dissolution and corrosion. The study suggests combining different types of steel to achieve long-lasting protection for next-generation reactors.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed a new method for producing iron that eliminates CO2 emissions and can be performed at room temperature. The process uses hydrogen gas plasma to strip oxygen from iron ore, producing pure iron and water vapor.
The University of Tennessee, Knoxville is collaborating with Mississippi State University to create new steels for the US Navy using a $5 million award. The team will focus on developing new steel materials, welding and strengthening mechanisms, as well as wire arc additive manufacturing.
PeroCycle has appointed Grant Budge as its new CEO and opened a £4M seed round to fund pilot deployment and accelerate commercial growth. The technology converts CO2 into carbon monoxide using a perovskite-based catalyst, offering a closed-carbon-loop approach to deep decarbonisation within the steelmaking process.
The University of Birmingham and CBMM have partnered to improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of Niobium compounds for use in closed-carbon-loop technology. This technology can radically reduce emissions from energy- and carbon-intensive foundation industries such as steel-making.
Researchers created a new steel alloy combining TRIP effect and L1₂ nanoprecipitates, achieving high tensile strengths of 1.2–1.8 GPa and uniform elongation of 10–30%. This breakthrough offers promising synergy for strength and ductility in uncharted territory.
Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have developed innovative electrolytes that can improve the efficiency of electrochemical processes, including steel production. The new electrolytes are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by eliminating energy-intensive blast furnaces.
Researchers have designed a new way to recycle steel using an electrochemical pathway that removes contaminants like copper, reducing carbon emissions. The process generates liquid iron and sulfur as by-products and has potential for higher-grade product creation.
A Princeton-led study suggests that co-producing steel and chemicals could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from these industries. By redirecting steelmaking off-gas to chemical production, China can lower its hard-to-abate emissions and meet climate goals.
A new study by the University of Sydney has found that adding molybdenum to steel reinforced with metal carbides enhances its ability to trap hydrogen. This discovery is a significant step towards solving the multi-billion-dollar problem of hydrogen embrittlement in steels.
A new study by the National Institute for Environmental Studies shows that current infrastructure deployment is insufficient to meet Paris Agreement targets, requiring a shift in how materials are used or consumed. The study estimates that feasible supply of steel and cement within a carbon budget will fall short of expected global dem...
A new study suggests that producing the same amount of steel with zero emissions is unlikely, and that reducing demand through material efficiency and upcycling could be key. The research highlights the need for a more strategic approach to decarbonization, rather than relying on technological innovations alone.
Dr. Daejong Kim, a UTA associate professor, collaborates with POSCO senior principal researcher Kihwan Kim on a $80,000 grant-funded study to develop intelligent robots for inspecting and maintaining large steelmaking facilities. The goal is to improve efficiency and safety in harsh environments, such as high temperatures and toxic gases.
