ARC Research Hub for Australian Steel Innovation

该中心的总体目标是支持澳大利亚钢铁制造业向基于创造新的、更高附加值的产品和更先进的制造工艺的更可持续、更具竞争力和弹性的地位过渡。它预计将提供原创性、创新性的研究，旨在通过整合大小企业的先进使能技术，开发防腐处理和涂层生产线的阶跃变化性能，生产更多功能和耐用的产品，并提高资源强度，从而实现供应链中必要的技术转变。它预计将培训一支技能更高、更多样化的劳动力队伍，这将是实现这一转变的关键。

The Hub’s overarching goal is to support the transition of Australia’s steel manufacturing industry to a more sustainable, competitive and resilient position based on the creation of new, higher value-added products and more advanced manufacturing processes. It anticipates delivering original, innovative research designed to enable a necessary technological shift in the supply chain through integrating advanced enabling technologies in large and small businesses, developing step-change performance in anti-corrosion treatments and coating lines, generating more functional and durable products, and increasing resource intensities. It expects to train a more skillful and diverse workforce that will be critical in achieving this transformation.
