Low carbon emissions steel: EMW and ArcelorMittal begin cooperation
24 January 2023EMW Stahl Service GmbH and ArcelorMittal are joining forces on the road to decarbonisation. The world's leading steel manufacturer will supply the steel service centre in Neunkirchen, Germany with low CO2 emissions steel as well as certificates for CO2 savings starting in 2023. EMW aims to be climate-neutral by 2030 for scope 1 and 2. In Europe, ArcelorMittal aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 35 percent by 2030, and globally the group wants to achieve net zero by 2050.
Industry newsAmstrong® and Magnelis® help stow create top-quality racking systems
2 January 2023Imagine for a moment that you are building a house, but starting with the inside. What materials would you need to ensure that the interior can withstand the elements until the outer skin of the building is complete? For stow, a leading manufacturer of racking systems used in warehouses, this is a daily challenge. To simplify construction of high-bay warehouses, the racks are the first things installed – up to a year before the external cladding and roofing is applied. This is why stow has selected Amstrong® and Magnelis® from ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products as the basis of the racking systems they manufacture. These unique steel solutions can withstand the elements and provide long-term durability.
Product newsNew! EPD for XCarb® recycled and renewably produced hot dip galvanised steel with Magnelis® is now available
5 December 2022ArcelorMittal has recently released the Environmental Product Declaration for its carbon-reduced offer of hot dip galvanised steel with Magnelis® coating, which is now part of the XCarb® recycled and renewably produced range. This product comes from a production process flow which only uses XCarb® recycled and renewably produced hot rolled coil.This new EPD for XCarb® recycled and renewably produced solutions complies with the most recent version of EN 15804 - A2. It has been third-party verified and validated by the Institut Bauen und Umwelt e. V. (IBU).

Technical details
Metallic coated steels are steel substrate coated with:
- a layer of zinc defined as Z coating; the coating process can apply very thick zinc layers of up to 900g/m² (total of both sides)
- a layer of aluminium/silicium alloy, Alusi® (AS), composed of 90% aluminium and 10% silicon
- a layer of zinc/aluminium/magnesium coating, Magnelis® (ZM), composed of 93.5% zinc, 3.5% aluminium, and 3% magnesium
- a layer of pure aluminium coating, Alupur® (AL), a steel substrate coated on both sides with pure aluminium
These products are manufactured on continuous production lines using different coating processes such as:
- Hot dip coating process whereby the steel strip is immersed in a bath of molten metal
- Electrogalvanising process in which metal is deposited electrolytically on the cold steel strip
- Coating under vacuum such as PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) and CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition)
- Jet Vapour Deposition process (JVD), a process to obtain a homogeneous coating on one or both sides of the steel
