Revolutionary EAF solution: An overview of the operation of the EAF Quantum by Primetals Technologies
Today’s steel producers face immense challenges when working with an electric arc furnace (EAF). These challenges may include: anticipating stringent environmental targets for green steel, achieving optimal energy efficiency, dealing with the constraints of weak electrical infrastructure, and operating a closed-roof EAF while attempting to maintain the highest degree of […]
Latest generation dry blast furnace gas cleaning technology
Dry blast furnace gas cleaning technology offers great economic advantages when compared with traditional wet gas cleaning due to its improved energy efficiency, lower cost, reduced plot space, and practically eliminated water consumption. Given the improved operational economics and – in some areas – the physical or economic scarcity of […]
5 million tons of top-quality, special steel slabs produced at voestalpine Stahl, on a Danieli supplied casting machine
In 2015 voestalpine decided to invest in a new benchmark slab caster to replace the existing CC3 caster, which was reaching its lifetime operational limit. For the first time in Linz, Danieli was chosen as the technology supplier. This was because of the comprehensive technology packages that could guarantee competitive […]
Revolutionizing tundish operations with SURCAST QuickStart: Faster turnarounds, lower costs, and a greener future
The steel industry continuously strives for progress, focusing on innovation to streamline operations, minimize environmental impact, and optimize costs. Tundish linings play a critical role in ensuring the quality and safety ofmolten steel. Traditional castables employed in the tundish permanent lining pose a significant bottleneck. Installing a complete lining can […]

The Quaker Houghton Multi-functional Reversing Mill: Research on and for rolling
This paper introduces the Quaker Houghton Pilot Mill and its capabilities.We demonstrate how a rolling mill can benefit research and development ofproduct formulation, lubrication mechanism study and modeling through three case studies, covering: the correlation between coefficient of friction (CoF) and strip surface texture, validation of mathematical models with pilot […]
Shear blade change in less than one minute
Unforeseen shear blade changes in a continuously running strip processing line, causes production downtime involving high costs and considerable additional work. Unplanned rework, loss of quality, high quantities of scrap and dissatisfaction are the result. hpl-Neugnadenfelder Maschinenfabrik GmbH has taken on this task and, in close cooperation with Risse + […]

Development of a new online sensor for steel surface contamination
Sarclad and CRM Group have successfully developed a new on-ine sensor for steel strip contamination. The system utilizes laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy to give a continuous and real-time assessment of the contamination levels post-cleaning on a typical steel strip processing line.Critically, this is the first system that can distinguish between surface […]
Digital maintenance tool increases the availability of forging manipulators
Along with hydraulic presses, manipulators are the key components of any forging operation. Unplanned shutdowns of these highly dynamic machines not only lead to production interruptions and consequential costs in the forging process itself, but also in the downstream processes. This is why DANGO & DIENENTHAL has developed a new […]
