Bremen’s New €5M Pilot Rolling Mill to Revolutionize Steel Research by 2027
The Leibniz Institute for Materials Engineering (IWT) in Bremen is expanding its research capabilities with a new pilot rolling mill. The facility, designed for industry-focused process and materials development, will enable advanced studies on steel production and microstructure evolution. Funding for the €5 million project comes from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the State of Bremen.
Planning for the rolling mill began in 2021 under the leadership of Assoc. Prof. (Thai) Dr.-Ing. Piyada Suwanpinij, head of the 'Metallurgy and Forming Technology' group. The team has since focused on challenges linked to trace elements in steels and the creation of ultra-high-strength microstructures. The new mill will allow researchers to examine how process parameters affect microstructure changes throughout the entire rolling operation.
The new pilot rolling mill will provide researchers with a unique tool to study steel processing at an industrial level. By mid-2027, the facility is expected to enhance the institute’s ability to develop innovative materials and production methods. The €5 million investment reflects a commitment to advancing metallurgical news in Bremen.
