🔎 Trends in knife steel: Efficiency, Innovation, and Sustainability After insightful customer meetings and discussions at SHOT Show 2025, we see clear trends shaping the knife steel industry. Manufacturers are increasingly looking for materials that not only offer high performance but also improve production efficiency and enable innovation. Some of the key trends include: ✅ Pre-hardened and tempered steels – Materials that have already undergone heat treatment, such as our Chromflex™ family, save time, reduce production costs, and ensure consistent quality in every batch. ✅ Premium steels with unique properties – Stainless Damascus steel, like our Damax™, combines aesthetics with high functionality, allowing manufacturers to create unique knives without time-consuming forging. ✅ Thinner yet stronger blades – New material solutions enable the production of thinner knife blades without compromising durability or sharpness, a topic many customers highlighted during our meetings at the show. ✅ Sustainability and resource efficiency – Reduced energy consumption, optimized materials, and longer product lifespan are becoming increasingly important factors when choosing materials. SHOT Show 2025 clearly demonstrated that the knife steel industry is evolving rapidly, and smart material choices can revolutionize both manufacturing processes and end products. We look forward to continuing these discussions and driving the industry forward together!

Handling hazardous materials under extreme temperatures and pressures is a common sight in the chemical and petrochemical industry. Chemical plants use hydraulic and instrumentation (H&I) tubing to transfer chemicals across various devices, connectors and other instruments within their compounds. There's a growing need for safe and reliable H&I tubing in such integrated facilities, as the nature of the chemicals necessitates high safety standards and rigorous accident prevention measures.

Meet Chris, a trumpet maker and player since 4th grade. Thanks to his job at a small music shop in Chicago, he knows all too well that a trumpet's sound depends heavily on the material used. But he doesn’t pick the exact same material all the time. The trumpets he makes are, afterall, tailor-made to customer requests. It’s people like Chris that remind us of the incredible personal touch they bring to others. With our precision tubes, they constantly use their creativity and craftsmanship to push the boundaries, making different trumpets in the process.

Alleima® 3R60 Urea Grade is an enhanced version of AISI 316L, characterised by higher purity and higher alloying content than standard 316L. The grade is highly resistant to both general and intergranular corrosion in the process solutions used in urea manufacturing. Join Oscar Öhlin, Senior R&D Engineer at Alleima, on February 12 at the Nitrogen & Syngas Conference to explore solutions to these challenges. https://brnw.ch/21wQygB #CRUNitrogen

The advantages of fuel cell technology extend to the growing adoption of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), providing trucks with a great range and rapid fueling.🍃 That’s why Alleima has established the world’s first industrial-scale coating line for strip steel used in bipolar plates, with production that is cost-effective and environmentally-friendly.💡 “At Alleima, we produce pre-coated strip steel for fuel cell applications and have developed the Smarter Coatings concept”, says Malin Olsson, Process Development Engineer at Alleima. The global expansion of #hydrogen fueling stations is set to deploy over 10,000 stations by 2030 across Asia, the USA, and part of the EU. Read more 👇🏻 https://brnw.ch/21wG1gH
