In Germany the energy transition is also of industrial-political importance. Further energy and environmental policy decisions in Brussels and Berlin will also have major effects on the steel industry in Germany. What changes in political conditions can we expect? And what impact will Europe’s structural crisis have on the development of the steel industry in Germany? This year’s motto for the event “Perspectives with Steel” refers to the challenges as well as the opportunities for the material. Steel has major innovative potentials and offers solutions for the megatrends of urbanisation and mobility, as well as sustainability. What potentials do high-strength steels have regarding the required light construction? How can climate policies and the EU Emission Trading System be effectively designed whilst ensuring the competitiveness of energy-intensive industries? What are the perspectives for industrial added value networks? These questions and other central technicalscientific topics related to steel production and product innovations will be discussed during the STAHL 2014 annual event. Eight Talks about Steel form the basis of STAHL 2014. These will examine specialist topics in detail. We want to discuss with you the current technical and economic challenges that will shape the steel industry in future. The event will close with the traditional Steel Get-Together, which will start at 6.00 p.m. Best wishes, Hans Jürgen Kerkhoff Dr.-Ing. Peter Dahlmann Chairman Steel Institute VDEh President German Steel Federation Executive Member of the Managing Board Steel Institute VDEh 1 Thursday, 6 November 2014, 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., Room 1 Welcome and opening The opening event at STAHL 2014 focuses on the future of industry in Europe as well as the challenges involved in maintaining competitiveness. Given the tensions between regional economic development and European integration, Minister-President of the Saarland Kramp-Karrenbauer will discuss political strategies for industrial regions. She will examine the challenges facing such regions and the answers that politics can provide. President of the employers’ associations Ingo Kramer will discuss industry’s future employment role in Europe. The prospects for business locations are also affected by demographic development. What status do education and qualifications have, and how can Europe cope with demographic change? Prof. Dr. Dr. Di Fabio will speak about the growing significance of European institutions and the corresponding implications for national economic policies. With regard to the regulatory conflicts between ecology and economics, in particular, the question of how a sense of proportion and subsidiarity can be maintained within the EU is becoming increasingly important. What significance have economic and industrial policies in Europe? How can the successful industrial basis be secured? Opening The opening of the STAHL 2014 annual event will thus discuss industry’s perspectives in a European context. 2 www.stahl2014.de Thursday, 6 November 2014, 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., Room 1 Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer Minister-President of the Saarland Ingo Kramer President Confederation of German Employers’ Associations (BDA) Prof. Dr. Dr. Udo Di Fabio Former Judge in Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court Professor at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms University in Bonn, Institute of Public Law Hans Jürgen Kerkhoff Chairman Steel Institute VDEh President German Steel Federation #stahl2014 3 Thursday, 6 November 2014, 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Steels for the energy technology of the future Talk about steel Energy production, energy generation and energy transportation are fundamental topics of our time. Steel has and will have an indispensable role here. Steel faces challenges regarding the conventional production of energy as well as the production of renewable energies but these can be met by steels’ many capabilities. The material steel must cope with conflicting combinations of properties - such as high toughness at very low temperatures, or a high strength and creep resistance at very high temperatures. This talk about steel will give an overview from different perspectives, on how steel can meet these challenges in the future. What requirements must the material steel fulfill? How can steel producers reach these requirements and stimulate new developments with modern steels? These questions are an ongoing challenge for the steel industry. A safe and environmentally friendly energy supply requires sufficient qualification and an operation-related design of existing materials, as well as new developments of steels and their production parameters. The material steel can still provide answers to the ever-growing demands in power engineering and is therefore a fundamental material for use in this sector. 4 www.stahl2014.de Thursday, 6 November 2014, 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Chairman Dipl.-Ing.

This is especially true for steel production via the coke plant-blast furnace-converter route. To supply the blast furnaces with the requested coke demand a new coke battery was built at Duisburg Huckingen in Germany to double coke capacity at this location. New technical developments were implemented (e.g. blast furnace top closing devices) and plant technology was improved (e.g. for coal injection) for hot metal production in blast furnaces. Major investments in new plants were done in the past years in the field of continuous casting also to improve competitiveness. At the Peine site in Germany, Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH operates the Belt Casting Technology demonstration plant, which enables near-net-shape casting to produce HSD steels. The process gases of an integrated iron and steel works are now used reasonable and sustainable, but potentials still exist. 6 www.stahl2014.de Thursday, 6 November 2014, 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Chairman Prof. Dr.-Ing.

Further revolutionary developments in information and communication technology are imminent. In future, production plants will be connected to one another via complex automation structures. They will be decentrally structured, act autonomously, and communicate with one another in real time. The aim is to further increase the flexibility, resource efficiency and ergonomy of production. These developments will be based on cyber-physical systems and the ‘internet of things’. This scenario describes an accelerating development, based on intelligent aggregates and plants that are increasingly capable of autonomously providing process and product data. Talk about steel We report on the challenges faced in building a blast furnace in India, the construction and commissioning of a stainless steel plant, the further development of radial forging technology, and the demands and effects of Industry 4.0 in the steel industry. 8 www.stahl2014.de Thursday, 6 November 2014, 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Chairman Dipl.-Ing.

Stefan Meißner, Project Engineer, Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH, Salzgitter #stahl2014 9 Thursday, 6 November 2014, 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Perspectives of industrial value networks Germany’s economy recovered faster from the economic crisis than that of most other countries in the world, mainly thanks to its strong industrial chains. But now, however, it is particularly important to ensure that the competitive industrial structures in Germany remain intact in future too. The weak domestic investment activity in both the private and public sectors are a particular cause for concern. Investments in the energy-intensive primary industries have even fallen below depreciations in recent years. Talk about steel This Talk about steel will examine the connections between investments and value-creation networks from several perspectives: What significance do investments in the steel industry have for the future capability of the industrial network? How large is the investment gap in Germany (and in the EU) and is the future competitiveness of the location threatened? And finally: What form must an intelligent industrial policy take in order to ensure sustainable investments and growth in regional clusters? 10 www.stahl2014.de Thursday, 6 November 2014, 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Chairman Andreas J.

These can be influenced by the targeted design of alloys and appropriately adapted heat treatments. It is thus possible to specifically adapt strength and toughness and many other properties to the particular production step and the particular component requirements. This awareness has in recent years led to the development of numerous new high-strength and ultra-highstrength steel grades with excellent toughness properties. Against this background, developments based on the consistent continuation of design- and material-related light construction – and the resultant resource-conservation aspects – are examined in this Talk about steel. Talk about steel What holistic, cost-efficient and sustainable material concepts does steel offer for light construction? What trends are becoming apparent? What demands will be made of the material steel in future? 12 www.stahl2014.de Thursday, 6 November 2014, 3: 30 p.m. to 5: 30 p.m. Chairman Dr. Hans Fischer Chief Technical Officer Tata Steel Europe, IJmuiden/Netherlands Development of high-strength weight-reduced steels Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil.

(FH) Markus Kirschbaum, Liebherr-Werk Ehingen GmbH, Ehingen #stahl2014 13 Thursday, 6 November 2014, 3: 30 p.m. to 5: 30 p.m. Innovative personnel work as an engine for modern Europe Increased employability, a well-adjusted work-life balance, and participative management systems are important factors in innovative personnel management. Changing conditions are increasingly forcing companies to turn away from short-term personnel policy measures intended to increase competitiveness and instead develop sustainable concepts. Talk about steel This Talk about steel will discuss innovative instruments in human resources work as well as new management methods for increasing competitiveness in the steel industry. It will examine the industry’s strategies for ensuring that the need for skilled workers can be met, the age-oriented structuring of workplaces, and the effects of demographic development on the jobs situation. A newly developed model for the sustainable protection of health and safety at work as a central component of modern HR work will be introduced for the first time. The European dimension will focus on the further development of socio-political instruments in the EU Commission’s Action Plan for the European steel industry. 14 www.stahl2014.de Thursday, 6 November 2014, 3: 30 p.m. to 5: 30 p.m. Chairman Harald Schartau Member of the Board of Managing Directors Georgsmarienhütte Holding GmbH, Georgsmarienhütte Protecting health and safety at work as a central component of modern HR work Thomas Schlenz, Member of the Board, ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe AG, Duisburg The effects of demographic change on the employment situation Beate Brandes, Member of the Management Board, Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH, Salzgitter The EU’s Steel Action Plan – the next steps (English) Gwenole Cozigou, Director, GD Industry, European Commission, Brussels/Belgium Innovative HR work – the unions’ strategies Wolfgang Lemb, Member of the Board, IG Metall, Frankfurt am Main #stahl2014 15 Thursday, 6 November 2014, 3: 30 p.m. to 5: 30 p.m. Emissions trading and climate policy 2030: Setting the course for the industrial location Europe? Talk about steel Next year’s climate summit in Paris is intended to create a roadmap for a comprehensive international climate agreement for after 2020. Discussions on a long-term energy and climate concept have meanwhile started in Brussels and Berlin. The future alignment of climate policy and emission trading is of major importance for the international competitiveness and investment prospects of the German and European steel industry. What are the prospects of a successful international agreement and should the European Union take on a pioneering role? How can climate policy and emissions trading be effectively structured whilst guaranteeing the competitiveness of energy-intensive industries? These highly topical questions will be discussed in these Talk about steel. 16 www.stahl2014.de Thursday, 6 November 2014, 3: 30 p.m. to 5: 30 p.m. Chairman Dipl.-Ing.

Dr. Rainer Köthe, geboren 1948, zählt zu den auflagenstärksten Wissenschaftsjournalisten Gifts Deutschlands. Über 80 Jugendsachbücher und mehr als hundert Anleitungen von Experimentierkästen zeugen von seiner Fähigkeit, na- zurzeit 29 Sprachen übersetzt wurden. Die aufregende Geschichte und die vielfältige Verwendung von Eisen und Stahl sind das Thema dieses Buches. Der renommierte Wissenschaftsjournalist Dr. Rainer Köthe portraitiert spannend und leicht verständlich das Element, seine Entstehung in kosmischen Feuerstürmen und seine Bedeutung in der Natur. Er zeichnet nach, wie der Mensch das Eisen immer besser zu nutzen lernte. Weitere Kapitel beschreiben, wie heute das Eisenerz aus gewaltigen Gruben gebaggert wird, wie gigantische Hochöfen Roheisen erschmelzen und wie es in Stahl verwandelt wird. Der Leser lernt einige der vielfältigen Bearbeitungsverfahren kennen, die dem Stahl die gewünschten Formen geben. Und schließlich präsentiert das aufwendig illustrierte Buch einige spektakuläre Verwendungsarten von Eisen und Stahl. Stahl erobert die Welt Lanterns Stahl erobert die Welt Iron and Steel Dicitionary Rainer Köthe turwissenschaftliche und technische Themen spannend und gut verständlich zu beschreiben. Dafür spricht auch, dass Bücher von ihm in Kaum ein chemisches Element ist für Technik und Zivilisation so unverzichtbar wie Eisen. Weiterverarbeitet zu Stahl ist es der weitaus wichtigste und meistgenutzte Werkstoff und zudem das bei weitem preisgünstigste Metall. Es gibt praktisch keinen vom Menschen hergestellten Gegenstand, der kein Eisen enthält oder es bei der Produktion benötigt hat – selbst unser Körper ist auf dieses Element angewiesen. Kein Wunder daher, dass die weltweite Stahlproduktion ständig ansteigt – zumal Eisen ideal wiederverwertbar ist.
