Posco Exchanges Magnesium and Steel Technology
06/25/2010 - Posco recently hosted its first magnesium-related technology exchange meeting with German steel company TKS. Posco also recently had a joint workshop with Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science, exchanging knowledge in four primary research fields.
Posco recently hosted its first magnesium-related technology exchange meeting with TKS. The German steel company, which founded its magnesium-producing affiliate MgF (Magnesium Flachprodukte GmbH) earlier in June, has started to study ways to produce magnesium sheets by using strip casting technology.
TKS is also involved in the partnership with Technical University of Freberg to produce magnesium based on their co-research.
The two companies have shared their views on the global magnesium market, as well as exchanged technologies. During the meeting, they discussed conditions to have each other as “backup partners.”
The backup partner system is to ensure each other’s production and supply schedules. By signing a backup partnership with TKS, Posco expects to expand rapidly into the European car market.
Posco also recently had a joint workshop with Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science. During the event, the two companies exchanged knowledge in four primary research fields, including how to evaluate the effect of delayed fracture of automotive steel sheets, and stainless steel with corrosion and high-temperature resistance.
The two organizations have also reached an agreement to exchange researchers for steel research.
