Advanced materials and alloys

We accelerate growth by expanding into high-margin, high-value grades and differentiate through customer collaboration, building on our strong legacy in specialty grades. This business plays a central role in reducing cyclicality and driving profitable growth by investing in customer-driven innovation and actively moving away from commodity products. 

Advanced Materials

Technologies revolutionizing value creation

As part of our transformation, we are advancing proprietary technologies through EvoMaterials® to produce low-CO₂, high-purity metals and enable more resilient, resource-efficient supply chains for strategic materials. Built on advanced sulfidation-based process technology, EvoMaterials initially focuses on chromium materials such as enriched ferrochrome and high-purity chromium metal. To unlock more value from ferrochrome, we will also continue repositioning our ferrochrome business from an internal supplier to an unrestricted market player.
