Even as a small child, Bettina K. always wanted to know exactly what was behind things. Today, the young researcher is shaping the future of voestalpine with her curiosity and passion for science.
The 2026 Winter Olympics are already in full swing. Just like the lugers, who shoot through the ice channel at over 150 km/h on runners made of high performance steels from voestalpine High Performance Metals Germany.
When every hundredth of a second counts on the ice, every detail matters. That’s why numerous international athletes rely for training and competition on high-precision bimetal blades from bohlerstrip, including at the 2026 Winter Olympics
Cars, machines, trains, and so much more: if we have our way, all these everyday items will be made from green steel in the future – from greentec steel. The new steel production process, which uses green electricity and a high proportion of scrap, will not only be clean and climate-conscious. It will also be […]
An old steel girder that once supported a building becomes part of a new bridge. This is how the steel cycle works: durable, but not infinite. At the end of its useful life, steel returns as a valuable raw material. This is crucial for green steel production, because the switch to electric arc furnaces (EAF) […]
With H2FUTURE, we are researching the industrial production of green hydrogen, which is intended to replace fossil fuels such as coal and coke in steel production in the long term. The world’s longest-operating electrolysis plant at the Linz site provides important research results for our future steel production.
With Hy4Smelt and H2FUTURE, we are consistently continuing the transformation to green steel production. Both projects demonstrate how innovation and partnership are paving the way to net-zero CO2emissions.
Our research activities are as diverse as the voestalpine Group itself. Our strategy determines what we research and which projects are given priority, so that they support our value-adding growth in the best possible way. The following examples present a few of these research projects that are so important to us:
The trend in e-mobility is clearly moving towards even more efficient steels for electric motors. So it’s a good thing that we have the right material for the high demands of electric motor construction: Our isovac® electrical steel strip contributes to particularly high efficiency and top performance of the drive system in electric cars. The […]
Since March 1, 2025, our employees worldwide have collected digital “cares” through their sporting activities in the third voestalpine cares run. These were converted into donations and are now supporting international aid projects.
voestalpine Böhler Welding and Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) are intensifying their long-standing collaboration with a pioneering research project. Under the title “Spark Science Center”, joint research is being conducted into AI-supported solutions for optimizing the welding process.
The Vienna Museum of Science and Technology has a new permanent exhibition entitled “Material Worlds”, of which we the main sponsor. We are therefore taking the opportunity to take our employees and their families on a journey through the world of materials and offer them an exciting day at the Museum of Science and Technology […]
Favorite Moments – they are the ones that shape us, that remain in our memories, that make our lives simply beautiful. The magical marriage proposal on the bridge where we met for the first time, saying goodbye to our parents on the platform shortly before leaving on life’s greatest adventure, planting a tree in the […]
Over 300 voestalpine employees took part in the 23rd Linz Danube Marathon on April 13 – either in one of the 21 employee relay teams or in an individual discipline. However, we were not only strongly represented in terms of the number of participants in voestalpine T-shirts, but also as a strong partner of the […]
Our products form the basis of modern life, but they are often invisible in everyday life . Whether in the home, in sustainable energy generation, in private transport, when travelling comfortably by plane or on the world’s railways – our products are indispensable.
Once again this year, the #voestalpinetalks took place at the Montanuniversität in cooperation with the ÖH Leoben and all student representatives. In addition to exciting insights into our special steel plant in Kapfenberg and a varied presentation on the topic of communication, students were able to talk directly to our technicians about job opportunities with […]
Months before InnoTrans, which takes place every two years in Berlin, preparations for the most important international trade fair for transportation technology are already in full swing. Two of our four divisions in particular are very busy before and during InnoTrans: the voestalpine Railway Systems business unit of the Metal Engineering Division and the Steel […]
24 nations, a round leather ball and pure emotion: the first match of the European Men’s Football Championship kicked off last Friday. Sport-loving Europe and the world are looking to Germany via TV and stream. Reason enough for us to take a look at the soccer highlight of the year. Because some of our products […]
