64 | STEEL PROCESSING take over Schuler’s former Body Panel business unit including the respective around 200 employees. The new owner will operate the business unit as Cartec Tooling GmbH under the umbrella of the planned company Deutsche Werkzeugbau (DWB), which already owns the company Gebr. Rath Werkzeugbau in Kreuztal, Germany. Cartec mainly specializes in the construction of dies for the production of car body panels, expanding the product range of Gebr. Rath Werkzeugbau, which focuses on high-strength materials for the automotive industry. The aim of the investor group is the long-term development and expansion of an international industrial business with a focus on manufacturing. Die construction is an important part of this plan.

SLM Solutions’ robust Selective Laser Melting metal additive manufacturing systems optimize fast, reliable and cost-efficient production for complex, completely dense metal parts. SLM Solutions has been continuously working to reduce build times by combining high-powered lasers with advanced parameter sets. As part of the partnership, Honeywell’s Aerospace business will begin qualification efforts for aluminium builds using increased layer thicknesses of 60 and 90 µm on the SLM ® 500. SLM Solutions will provide their standard aluminium parameter sets for Honeywell to complete material qualification utilizing the quad-laser systems to achieve optimal material properties. The partnership will help both companies reduce printing times and costs. • SLM Solutions Shape Corporation wins Swedish Steel Prize 2019 Representatives of US-based Shape Corporation accept the award in Stockholm (Picture: SSAB) United States-based Shape Corporation has won the Swedish Steel Prize for the groundbreaking use of martensitic steel in a 3D formed tube for automotive roof rail applications. The Swedish Steel Prize, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, recognizes good engineering, cooperation and steel innovations that lead to a better and more sustainable world. Shape Corp.’s cost effective and robust manufacturing process for 3D shaped tubes made it possible to utilize the cold forming martensitic steel Docol ® 1700M from SSAB for a unique lightweight solution for A-pillar and roof rail tubes, with a minimal profile size. The components will soon be implemented in a number of Ford vehicles, including the 2020 Ford Explorer and 2020 Ford Escape. Thanks to 3D forming, instead of hydroforming, Shape Corp. has succeeded in creating smaller profiles than traditional solutions, allowing for better driver visibility, more interior space as well as better packaging of airbags. The 3D formed A-pillars also have an improved strength-toweight ratio, which has led to an overall mass reduction of 2.8 to 4.5 kg per vehicle. The other finalists of the competition were Austin Engineering from Australia, Kampag from Brazil and Roofit.solar from Estonia. • SSAB STEEL + TECHNOLOGY 2 (2020) No. 1
