Steel is a circular material because it is 100 per cent recyclable. In addition, it is collected, sorted and recycled on a large scale, and there is a market demand for these recyclates. Despite these fantastic references, there still seems to be a sustainability issue about steel. We’ll explain how ...

A growing group of manufacturing companies are exploring circularity and they are early in the transition process. We see mainly internal leverages, such as building up top-down & bottom-up interactions based on common values, defining feasible actions, building up trust and motivation to take ...

The continuous growth of wind energy is highly dependent on energy infrastructure becoming more digitally connected. Yet the more connected energy infrastructure becomes, the more vulnerable. This is what cyber criminals are anticipating on when they strike, too often successfully. High time to turn ...

In 2023, at the request of the foundries and their customers, Sirris will once again organise a foundry technology course. This course offers you practical, in-depth knowledge of all the important technological and production-related aspects of castings. The teachers can draw on years of practical ...

3D printing, digitalisation, ultrasonic replication, integrated electronics, ... all these technologies can enhance products, even on microscale! Micromanufacturing offers industrial companies, large or small, unseen potential for the development of new products. The technology radically transforms ...

The friction behaviour of surfaces can be tuned by laser structuring. Recently, an industrial application of controlling friction by surface texture is presented for large marine ship engines. In the assembly of the driveshaft a safety mechanism is built in, to deal with excessive forces. The disc ...

Polyurethanes can be used in many applications, due to their excellent combination of properties. Protective PU top-coats should withstand weathering degradation and prolong projection of steel substrates. Supporting the transition towards more sustainable PU coatings, a comparative testing on the ...
