Steel can be melted again and again. We use scrap as raw material and send turnings and cutting offcuts back to the furnace.
Steel can be melted again and again. We use scrap as raw material and send turnings and cutting offcuts back to the furnace.
In a forged part, the biggest environmental gain comes from forging to the right size. The closer a part is forged to its final shape, the less swarf comes off on the lathe. This means less steel is melted and less energy is used.
In the sections below we describe what we do and which data we monitor. We will update the values we measure on this page every year.
Scrap is the main raw material in the electric arc furnace. It is sorted by type before melting so that alloying elements are not wasted.
Peeling turnings, cutting offcuts and crop ends are collected separately and remelted.
We set the machining allowance for each part. Unnecessary allowance means unnecessary steel and unnecessary energy.
We plan the forging sequence to keep the reheating furnaces fully loaded, and we maintain furnace insulation regularly.
Water in the quench tanks is recirculated, and quench oil is filtered and reused.
Written instructions apply to hot work, heavy loads and crane operations, and employees receive regular training.
Values for 2025. The table is updated every year.
