Sustainable production of special stainless steels
Furtwangen University cordially invites you to a lecture event of the Tuttlingen Hardening Group at the university campus on Wednesday, 30.07.2025 starting at 6.00pm. Dr.-Ing. Dipl.-Wirt. Ing. Frank Hippenstiel from GF Technik/BGH Edelstahlwerke GmbH in Siegen, will give a lecture on the subject of "Sustainable production of special stainless steels".
About the presentation
Sustainability and defossilization are the major challenges facing the steel industry. In principle, the major paths of transformation (electric steel production, use of hydrogen) are known, but there are other approaches in the manufacturing processes that make the production and processing of special stainless steels more resource-efficient and therefore also more sustainable. This is, for example, the direct quenching of steel bars from the forming heat in order to shorten the heat treatment process. Modern process management also offers great potentialfor reducing the CO2 footprint. The presentation will use examples to provide an overview of:
- the sustainable production of stainless steels
- Metallurgical process technology
- Circular economy, accompanying elements
- Heat treatment at the steel manufacturer
- Reduction of the CO2 footprint
- Process improvements in the application

About the AWT hardening groups
The heat treatment groups of the Heat Treatment and Materials Technology Working Group (AWT) meet at regular intervals. The visit provides specialists and managers with basic and advanced knowledge about material optimization processes, heat treatment processes and their areas of application. The focus is on the exchange of specialist information, experience and further training.
