Outokumpu to Provide Carbon Footprints for Stainless Steel

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
16 Nov, 2022, 4:31 am

Finland headquartered Outokumpu is the first stainless steel producer to provide a product-specific carbon footprint based on continuous production data. Now customers can utilize the data to calculate the product carbon footprints of their products and provide more sustainable solutions to the market. This will both help customers in their emission-reduction goals and support Outokumpu’s long-term climate targets* and sustainability strategy.

One of the industries benefiting from product-specific carbon footprint is transport. Transport accounts for 21% of global carbon emissions and the emissions from the transport sector are expected to grow by 20% by 2050 Biofuels and electric vehicle solutions are already in use to cut emissions from heavy road traffic, but we need to use other solutions too. The reduction of emissions from a new vehicle is also affected by, for example, the steel material used in the manufacture of the vehicle and its carbon footprint.

Road transportation, especially buses and coaches, is an area where stainless steel can have a very significant impact in helping to achieve carbon neutral mobility. Companies in the industry have ambitious climate targets and the end-customers’ demands, as well as requirements coming from all major Original Equipment Manufacturers, guide the climate work forward. With this new feature, it is also interesting to see how the customers would now be able to design CO2-emission optimized products for the upcoming application generations – for example next-generation vehicles

Many companies are calculating and reporting direct and indirect emissions, but there is a growing need to reduce all other indirect emissions from a company’s value chain. To calculate the complete CO2 emissions down the supply chain it is essential to know the CO2 impact of the pre-material – and that’s why the product-specific information is needed. Outokumpu is in a great position to support the steel industry with the knowledge of being the only stainless steel producer to report emissions from all three scopes and to have the leading role in using recycled material for over 90% globally.

Outokumpu, FCMS, Munich University Test Stainless Steel Bus

Stainless steel manufacturer Outokumpu, along with CAD/CAE solution specialist FCMS, the Munich University of Applied Sciences and RotherCONSULT have collaborated to determine the benefits of using stainless steel in bus structures. The results have shown that using high-strength stainless steel to replace tubular bus frame elements normally manufactured in carbon steel could reduce weight by up to 35%, over 1,000 kg, while remaining cost-competitive. Traditionally, about 90% of buses are made of carbon steel. However, stainless steel offers a number of advantages for both bus manufacturers and operators.

In particular, its corrosion resistance offers sustainability as well as a reduction in maintenance time and cost. Furthermore, high-strength stainless steel grades are commercially available that offer enormous weight savings. The project focused on assessing the weight and cost benefits of Forta H800, a fully-austenitic stainless steel developed for safety-critical structural vehicle components. It opens up new opportunities in lightweight engineering and design by combining ultra-high strength and very high energy absorption in the event of an impact.

Parametric modeling was performed by FCMS, while the university performed fatigue testing on welded tubular joints of the two materials and RotherCONSULT developed and compiled the system requirements, simplified analysis strategies, and procedures for structural qualification. Outokumpu supplied the materials, related knowledge, and data. The AI-driven approach to simulation employed a combination of tools, including parametric geometry modeling, as well as fast, automatic, and robust analysis methods. At the heart of the approach was the Fast Concept Modeler, a tool embedded in CATIA, a product design and development software package. FCM works with conceptual beam type models as well as detailed shell and solid models.

The simulation results were promising, showing the potential to minimize structural weight, material and manufacturing costs, ensure sufficient strength for dynamic and cyclic loading, ensure sufficient static and dynamic stiffness, and ensure safety during rollover scenarios. This AI-driven approach to simulation offers the potential for further light weighting in future design exercises. The project showcases the potential of stainless steel in the transportation sector, which could have significant implications for sustainability, fuel efficiency, and safety. The study could encourage more bus manufacturers and operators to switch to stainless steel, opening up new opportunities in lightweight engineering and design.
