Luxembourg-based steelmaker ArcelorMittal has announced that it has carried out trials with Spain-based Zeleros Hyperloop to analyze the behavior of steel grades for optimal use in hyperloops, an ultra high-speed transportation system for both public and goods transport.
The companies have built a new, unique ultra-high-speed testing facility at ArcelorMittal’s Rail Excellence Center in Spain to test how certain steels perform in ultra-high-speed conditions. The results provide data to further advance the selection of the best steels for hyperloop use, considering safety, energy efficiency, cost and scalability as the main decision criteria.
