🏭 In September 2023, the UK government pledged £500 million to support Tata Steel in closing Britain’s last blast furnace in Port Talbot, South Wales. The funds will facilitate the installation of greener electric arc furnaces, which are less labour-intensive and recycle scrap metal. This transition is expected to reduce the UK’s carbon emissions by approximately 1.5%. 🚢 The Port Talbot deal has gained prominence as the government considers implementing the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Under CBAM, overseas companies exporting goods to the UK must demonstrate payment for their carbon emissions or face a levy equivalent to the UK’s carbon price. This measure prevents “carbon leakage” and ensures fair competition for British manufacturers committed to net-zero emissions. Curious about CBAM and its impact?

Midland Deburr & Finish Ltd Deburr and Finish Calls for Robust UK Industrial Strategy to Boost Manufacturing. "UK manufacturing has a rich history and a strong foundation, but we need a clear, long-term industrial strategy to ensure that it continues to thrive," said MD Chris Arrowsmith. "At Midland Deburr & Finish Ltd, we've built our reputation on being a reliable outsourcing solution for the 'dirty processes' that many companies prefer to delegate. Processes like metal degreasing and deburring are vital to the integrity and performance of components in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and Formula One. Yet, without robust government support, the entire manufacturing ecosystem faces significant challenges."

Ferro Alloy Resources has reiterated it expects to see improvements to its plant this year after what it describes as a challenging 2023. The vanadium specialist runs a processing operation alongside its development of the huge Balasausqandiq deposit in Kazakhstan where a feasibility study is in progress. Group revenues dropped 9% to US$6.16 million (2022: US$6.77m) in 2023, attributed to lower prices for vanadium pentoxide and molybdenum during the year and concentrate supply issues at its plant. Cost of sales decreased to US$6.8m (2022: US$7.5m), reflecting the stabilisation of reagent and fuel costs in the CIS region, with the overall loss for the year at US$5.25m (2022: loss of US$4.29m).  Cash at bank on 31 March 2024 was US$4.44m, while  Vision Blue Resources increased its stake in the company to 22.99% following the conversion of loan notes to ordinary shares.

Continuing with our investment strategy, we are thrilled to announce the addition of a further Plasma Nitriding furnace at our Telford site. The furnace significantly enhances our overall capacity and capability, representing further growth within our UK operations. One standout feature of this particular furnace is its size, making it perfect for treating large/ very large press tool dies. In fact, at Aalberts Telford, we are now capable to process parts up to 2m long in Plasma Nitriding and 4m long in Gas Nitriding – contact [email protected] Plasma Nitriding significantly enhances wear resistance, fatigue strength, and corrosion resistance of the treated parts. This translates to longer tool life, reduced maintenance costs, and improved performance in demanding applications. Our customers can expect a noticeable improvement in the durability and efficiency of their press tools. Plasma Nitriding can also be applied as an environmentally friendlier alternative to Chrome Plating, offering a superior end result performance. https://lnkd.in/eAUTp_g8 #aalbertssurfacetechnologies #heattreatment #PlasmaNitriding #PressTool #furnace
