The goal of the winning project, drafted by researchers Evgueni Nikitenko and Susan Farjami at US Steel’s Research and Technology Centre 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 US Steel on the winning project. The project will take about one year to complete.

David B. Burritt, president and CEO of US Steel, said, “A project of this kind is crucial in helping to maintain and enhance the competitiveness of the US steel industry. We are proud of the work of our research organisation in ensuring that steel remains the lowest cost, strongest, safest and most environmentally efficient material of choice.”

Kevin Zeik, US 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 honour “collaborations that will address key manufacturing challenges in the production of primary and secondary steelmaking and aluminium production processes.” 管材展-钢管展-2019广州国际管材及管材加工设备展－中国展出效果最好的管材展-巨浪展览 - The 20th China (Guangzhou ) Int’l tube & pipe Processing Equipment Exhibition -Tube exhibition, Tube expo,2019 Tube exhibition,2019 Tube expo, China Tube exhibition, China Tube expo, pipe exhibition, pipe expo, 2019 pipe exhibition,2019 pipe expo, China pipe exhibition, China pipe expo, Guangzhou pipe exhibition, Guangzhou tube exhibition, Guangzhou pipe expo, Guangzhou tube expo
