TTV (Thickness Toughness Validator): a tool for validating the selected toughness subgrade for thickness and design conditions based on EN 1993-1-10
14 September 2023TTV (Thickness Toughness Validator) is a tool developed internally by ArcelorMittal Steligence® Engineering. It is a simple tool for validating the selection of toughness subgrades according to the recommendations and requirements of the EN 1993-1-10 standard. This standard provides design guidance for the selection of steel for fracture toughness, imposing maximum detail thicknesses depending on material, temperature, and load level. The simplified method (EN 1993-1-10, Clause 2.3) is based on a simple table check. As it is general, it is based on safe assumptions that may not always correspond to specific project specifications. The advanced method (EN 1993-1-10, Clause 2.4), based on more advanced fracture mechanics methods, has therefore been implemented in order to perform a more specific check to deliver more advanced results. This tool is entirely based on Eurocode background methods and their application. As such, the advanced method will deliver the same results as the tables of the simplified method if the same assumptions are introduced. The user guide and validation examples are provided in the tool’s download folder.
Website newsArcelorMittal launches low carbon emissions steel plate for the civil engineering sector
13 September 2023ArcelorMittal, the world’s leading steel and mining company, is now producing low carbon emissions steel plate of up to 18 tonnes. ArcelorMittal is the first producer in Europe able to manufacture low carbon emissions steel plate in these dimensions. XCarb® recycled and renewably produced Heavy plates are manufactured using slabs from ArcelorMittal Industeel and are produced in an electric arc furnace using almost 100% scrap steel and 100% renewable electricity. These slabs are then transformed in ArcelorMittal’s heavy plate mill in Asturias, Spain resulting in a significant reduction in CO2 emissions - approximately 60% lower compared with steel plate made via the conventional steelmaking route (blast furnace).

Since 1 July 2013, the Construction Products Regulation (Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 – CPR) has required that CE marking be affixed to all products delivered in accordance with a harmonised standard (e.g. EN 10025 for structural steel). This CE marking guarantees the properties described in the declaration of performance submitted by the manufacturer for the uses defined in the standard.
