Steel makers Tata Steel in Europe and POSCO from South Korea will collaborate to develop and test cutting-edge steels and tube designs for Hyperloop travel.
The innovative steel concepts will be used to create a hyperloop – a tube big enough to carry a passengers or freight in a pod capable of travel up to 1,000kmh but using very little energy.
Steel is an essential material in building the infrastructure needed for hyperloop systems, including the tubes through which it would travel. The giant steel tubes required for the hyperloop have numerous unique features compared with normal tubes.
Tata Steel and POSCO will develop high quality steel grades which are tailored for use in these large diameter tubes – up to 3.5m. Additionally, the companies will join their efforts in research on innovative tube concepts and designs.
