ArcelorMittal will have a booth at Intersolar, the world's leading exhibition for the solar industry. We will welcome you at booth A6.537 where we will highlight our latest innovations for Magnelis®, the leading coated steel for solar mounting structures.

Magnelis®, high strength steel, and XCarb® recycled and renewably produced

Magnelis® provides outstanding protection against corrosion for all components of mounting structures and offers up to 30 years of durability in soil based on steel and coating thickness.

For racks and purlins, a lifetime of more than 30 years is achieved in C3 environments with ZM 310. C4 and C5 environments can be addressed with higher coatings. These performances are certified by several independent bodies.

For posts in soil or concrete, Magnelis® heavy coatings are an attractive technical, logistical, and economical solution compared to post galvanising.

Magnelis® is compatible with our S550GD-HyPer® steel grade for structural optimisation and with our low-carbon XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel for carbon footprint reduction. A key product in the energy transition to reduce climate impact, XCarb® recycled and renewably produced Magnelis® leads to a CO2 footprint reduction of approximately 70%.

ArcelorMittal took part in BAU, a major event for the construction and building industry, in Munich from 17-22 April, showcasing its latest high-performance steel products, XCarb® range of sustainable steels, and cooperations dedicated to construction.

Cooperations featuring XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel

Two exciting new cooperations were announced during the event:

• ArcelorMittal has joined forces with BP2, a manufacturer of complete solutions for residential construction, to supply low carbon emissions steel for BP2’s latest product, the SOLROOF integrated photovoltaic roof.
• The VELUX Group has kickstarted cooperation with ArcelorMittal as part of its efforts to halve value chain emissions by 2030. The companies will now work together to lower the carbon footprint of the steels used in VELUX roof windows, aiming to reduce embedded CO2 by up to 70% (depending on the type of steel product used) compared with conventionally produced steel.

High-performance steel products

Flagship ArcelorMittal products presented at the event included:

• Granite® organic coated steels for building envelopes: available in more than 120 colours and textures and guaranteed for up to 40 years with Granite® HDXtreme
  
• Magnelis® metallic coated steel for facade substructures, solar mounting structures, cable trays, composite floors, and many more applications: resists corrosion three times better than regular galvanised steel
• Ondatherm Solar®: special roof panels for photovoltaic systems
• Cofraplus® 80 composite floor profiles: approved by building authorities as prefabricated steel floors and with a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to prefabricated concrete slabs
• high strength HISTAR® steels: providing cost and material savings
• weather-resistant Arcorox® steel grade: with natural corrosion protection and a long service life
