U. S. Steel Wins U.S. Dept. of Energy Award to Enhance Advanced High-strength Steel Manufacturing Capabilities
March 07 2019 - 3:19PM
United States Steel Corporation (NYSE: X) announced today that it
has accepted an award from the High-Performance Computing for
Manufacturing Program (HPC4Mfg) Special Call: Steel and Aluminum,
sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, to expand the company’s
manufacturing capabilities for advanced high-strength steel (AHSS).
The goal of the winning project, drafted by researchers Evgueni
Nikitenko and Susan Farjami at U. S. Steel’s Research and
Technology Center in Munhall, Pa., is to enhance the company’s hot
strip mill model used in creating AHSS. This type of steel is used
by automakers to manufacture economically lightweight vehicles to
meet increasing fuel efficiency requirements while maintaining
exceptionally high safety standards. Lawrence Livermore National
Lab, where the research will take place, will receive $300,000 to
collaborate with U. S. Steel on the winning project. The project
will take about one year to complete.
U. S. Steel President and CEO David B. Burritt said, “A project
of this kind is crucial in helping to maintain and enhance the
competitiveness of the U.S. steel industry. We are proud of the
work of our Research organization in ensuring that steel remains
the lowest cost, strongest, safest and most environmentally
efficient material of choice.”
Kevin Zeik, U. S. Steel Senior Research Fellow, said, “We are
looking forward to collaborating with Lawrence Livermore National
Lab High-Performance Computing modeling, simulation and data
experts to address key manufacturing challenges in the production
of advanced high-strength steel.”
The award is presented to the company that best fulfills the
mission of this sixth HPC4Mfg solicitation, which is to honor
“collaborations that will address key manufacturing challenges in
the production of primary and secondary steelmaking and aluminum
production processes.”
