The Stahl-Zentrum in Düsseldorf
The Steel Institute VDEh and the German Steel Federation (WV Stahl), with their subsidiaries and associated companies, form the Stahl-Zentrum in Düsseldorf as legally autonomous units. Competences in the production and use of the material steel nationally, in Europe and internationally are consolidated under this umbrella organisation.
The aim of the Steel Institute VDEh, founded as a technical association for metallurgy as long ago as 1860, is to encourage the technical, technical-economic and scientific collaboration of engineers in the further development of processes for iron and steel production and the material steel itself. Whereby the Steel Institute VDEh has driven forward joint research and the exchange of experiences in national, European and international joint work. The German Steel Federation is the economic policy association of the steel industry in Germany with the aim of ef-fectively representing the steel industry to politicians, business and society.

The Steel Institute VDEh
The competences of the Steel Institute VDEh include joint tech-nical, technical-economical and scientific work, the initiation and support of research and development work, work in the field of process technology, steel characterisation and applications, and participation in the creation of standards and regulations. The results of the joint work are generally published in techni-cal journals and books. The Steel Institute VDEh maintains a comprehensive collection of technical information and Europe’s largest public library on the topic of steel.
Further education measures and modern information media contribute towards giving young talent the necessary know-ledge and providing active members of companies of the steel industry – as well as the supplier and user industries – with the latest knowledge on the further development of steel techno-logy, further processing, and the application of steel materials.

The Steel Institute VDEh has al-ways been based in Düsseldorf. After many decades as a national technical-scientific steel associa-tion it increasingly developed into an organisation active throughout Europe. European steel compa-nies have become members of the Institute and are an important constituent of the technical-scien-tific joint work. Whereby close contact is sought with suppliers as well as with the numerous customers and users of steel. Thanks to good international contacts, this joint work leads to a worldwide alignment.
This steel network offers the unique opportunity to ensure the position of steel as an excellent construction material.
The Steel Institute VDEh –steel cluster network
The steel cluster network is supported by the joint work of the steel producers with suppliers, as well as with the further pro-cessors and end-customers of the steel industry. The numerous value-creation chains of the material steel – from production to commodities and their recycling – are reflected in the work of the Committees. Whereby topics such as the conservation of resources, reduction of emissions, optimisation of processes, design of materials and components, the use of modern simula-tion technology as well as fundamental science form the central focus of the work.
5
The Committees of the Steel Institute VDEh
The Committee system is a central component of the Institute’s work. It is integrated in an overall competence of the VDEh that also comprises the areas of research, further education, publi-cation, etc. The basic mission is a technical-scientific and tech-nical-economic positioning of the sector, for which feedback from the member companies within the framework of committee work is indispensable. Committees are important points of con-tact with the member companies. Management of the business of the Committees and consolidation of sector competences complement one another.
Committees of Steel Institute VDEh:
� Blast Furnace Committee � Steelmaking Committee � Committee on Flat Product Rolling � Committee on Long Product Rolling � Open Die Forging Committee � Plant Engineering Committee � Committee on Energy Technology � Committee on Chemical Analysis � Research Committee � Environmental Committee, joint Committee of VDEh and WV Stahl
� Materials Committee � In addition to these Committees several cross-sectoral topics (i. e. efficiency increase, standardisation strategy, industry 4.0, high strength steels, light construction poten-tials of steels, etc.) are an important part of the joint work

Europe is playing an increasingly important role: representatives of European steel producers and plant constructors are active in numerous Committees. In a European comparison, the Steel Institute VDEh already has many unique selling points regarding its technical-scientific competences along the steel production chain. Building upon this, the aim is to further develop the Steel Institute VDEh into a successful service provider for joint tech-nical-scientific work in Europe – to the benefit of the member works and the material steel.
Annual event “STAHL”
The international annual meeting STAHL, put on jointly by the Steel Institute VDEh and the German Steel Federation every November, is the most important event of the year for the steel community. It provides a platform for the branch to discuss all important topics regarding steel technology, steel economics and steel policy in a variety of talks about steel. An accom-panying exhibition allows plant manufacturers and suppliers to present their newest developments and products.

Standardisation
The Steel Institute VDEh has been involved in the standardisa-tion of steel products for over one hundred years. The offices of the Committee for Iron and Steel Standardisation (FES) are associated with the VDEh regarding their organisation, financ-ing and personnel. The FES specialists elaborate standards in the area of steel and iron according to the rules of the German Institute for Standardisation (DIN). The FES represents German interests during worldwide and European standardisation in the area of steel and iron at the International Standards Organisation (ISO) and the European Standardisation Committee (CEN).
The European standardisation work is principally carried out at the European Committee for Iron and Steel Standardi-sation (ECISS), which is part of the CEN. The committees and sub-committees of the FES are largely aligned on reflecting ECISS and ISO intentions and bear the responsibility for form-ing German opinion. The FES is responsible, in particular, for elaborating technical delivery conditions, dimensional, termi-nological and product-specific testing standards. The work is carried out in product-, steel- and/or application-based com-mittees. Other committees are concerned with the clas-sification, nomenclature, and numbering of steels, as well as sampling and general technical delivery conditions.
