The butterfly effect theory is the idea that one small occurrence can significantly impact the world. Advanced materials from Alleima can contribute to innovative changes that help raise productivity, energy efficiency, and minimize environmental impact.
In a global marketing campaign “900 ways to make a change”, Alleima highlights how their more than 900 advanced alloys can make a change globally.
With more than 160 years of experience in materials technology and close collaboration with customers, Alleima supplies products and solutions enabling customers’ applications, products, and processes to be more efficient, and sustainable.
The campaign, “900 ways to make a change”, features individually designed butterflies made of unique steel from Alleima. The purpose is to showcase the concept of the butterfly effect, and how the world is deeply interconnected. The idea, that a wing beat of a butterfly can create a storm.
Alleima holds a portfolio of around 900 alloy compositions, manufactured with more than 80% recycled materials and with fossil-free electricity. Each butterfly symbolizes one of these alloys. The butterflies serve as a reminder of how the choices made today ripple into our future and how material choices have a lasting impact on the planet.
They are a message to decision-makers within the industry that the materials they choose can make an impact globally. The materials that they choose for their projects do not only affect their products or applications – but also our planet.
As leading experts in materials technology, Alleima develops materials that are lighter, stronger, more corrosion-resistant, and withstand higher temperatures and higher pressures.
One example of the 900 alloys is butterfly number 885. This alloy goes by the name Freeflex™, a compressor valve steel used in cooling and heating systems such as air conditioners, heat pumps and fridges. Freeflex™ can help reduce energy consumption substantially – a unique piece of stainless steel from Sandviken, Sweden.
