Tippers made of aluminum or with wooden side walls cannot permanently withstand the wear and tear in certain industries. The Muldy tipper from Weber Stahl therefore uses high-strength steels from ArcelorMital.

In the field of e-mobility, permanent sealing of the battery is essential to protect the vehicle from excessive heat and the escape of chemicals in the event of a battery fault. For example, with the injection molding of 2K liquid silicone rubbers (LSR) from Pöppelmann K-Tech.

Deutsche Edelstahlwerke will be exhibiting together with Schmolz + Bickenbach at the Moulding Expo. In Hall 7, DEW will be exhibiting all-stainless materials for plastic molds, for example for plastic bottles, car seats or syringes.

A lightweight metal foam developed by researchers at Saarland University becomes rock-hard when coated. The discovery is also interesting for lightweight construction.

Production systems can only be optimized during operation if all process parameters are taken into account. Therefore, the changes in the materials must also be measured, analyzed and mapped. The Fraunhofer IWM has developed a sample material data space for additively manufactured test specimens and has thus created a basis for the digital material twin.
Stainless steel for tool and mold making
Around 60 million tons of plastic (19% of the global volume) were produced in Europe alone in 2016. The main customers are packaging manufacturers and suppliers to the automotive, electrical and medical industries.

Electromobility is a key topic for the future. In order for Germany to be at the forefront, it is important to inspire young minds for scientific and engineering professions. This is why the JET Challenge takes place every year at the IdeenExpo in Hanover.
The aluminum recycling cycle begins and ends in the smelting plant. In between, the light metal is chipped in various industrial plants in different sectors and, ideally, pressed into high-strength briquettes using briquetting systems. But why does briquetting make economic sense?
