Next-generation compressor-valve steel set to make huge impact in white goods market

Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of their energy usage. As the energy efficiency of white goods plays a factor in this, could innovative materials such as fatigue-resistant compressor-valve steel be key to achieving the top grade?

900 alloy recipes and a full focus on sustainability

Steel is a wonderful metal that can be remelted and reused indefinitely. Today, approximately 83% of our production is based on recycled steel and melted in an electric arc furnace that runs almost entirely on fossil-free electricity. Through collaborations, products and solutions, we support energy efficiency, greener transportation, and reduced CO 2 emissions.

As the world seeks new ways to reduce its CO2 emissions, electricity is looking hotter than ever.

Leading the way in electric industrial heating

As the world seeks new ways to reduce its CO 2 emissions, electricity is looking hotter than ever. Nowhere more so than in transportation and heating solutions, where electricity is expected to account for an increasing share of the global energy mix in the future. And wherever electric heating is a challenge, Kanthal, an Alleima company, is ready to provide the solution.

Alleima introduces AI within its research and development

For over a hundred years, Alleima has been conducting its own research and collecting information in almost 60,000 reports. Invaluable knowledge, but difficult to overview. Together with KPMG, Alleima has now developed a generative AI solution, Alleima Guru, which makes searching through the material easier and more efficient to manage.

Transitioning from gas to electricity for heating is essential for sustainable glass production. However, it's important to acknowledge that this switch entails challenges.

Navigating challenges in the glass industry through electric heating

Transitioning from gas to electricity for heating is essential for sustainable glass production. However, it's important to acknowledge that this switch entails challenges. Kanthal, an Alleima company, is a world leader in sustainable industrial heating technology.

With global electricity consumption growing at record rates, hydrogen is not only one of the future leading options for storing energy – it can also be used together with oxygen directly as fuel or to generate electricity.

Hydrogen – potentially a crucial piece in the energy puzzle

Hydrogen stands to play a key part in tackling the world’s energy challenges. With global electricity consumption growing at record rates, hydrogen is not only one of the future leading options for storing energy – it can also be used together with oxygen directly as fuel or to generate electricity.
