In the current context of relentless global competition and shortages of energy and other resources, new business models and advanced manufacturing technologies are required to realise more value from less. Net and near net shape conversion processes, such as additive manufacturing and direct strip casting, may be part of the solution when designed for scaled economy and efficiency. A study conducted with the support of CAST CRC indicated that The Crucible Group's micro mill concept for compact alloy production of low volume, high value added flat products (referred to as 'MicroCAP') was feasible for iron-based specialty alloys.
