Steel Production
World's first 3-strand continuous slab caster starts production
In September 2023, Chinese steel manufacturer Tangshan Donghua Iron and Steel commissioned the world's first 3-strand slab caster. The new 3-strand solution offers several advantages: With three strands, the plant achieves a significantly higher production capacity than conventional 2-strand casting plants. Two conventional 2-strand systems with a similar capacity would have required around twice as much space and correspondingly higher investment costs. In comparison, the operating and maintenance costs are also lower.
At thyssenkrupp Steel, an innovative process based on automated, camera-assisted surface inspection for the early detection and processing of surface serial defects in flat steel products has been successfully developed and introduced into production. The method can be used to successfully detect and process serial defects in preliminary units that are difficult to identify. The method developed enables the quality manager responsible to initiate early and proactive corrective measures to reduce or avoid quality costs.
With the commissioning of a new cold strip line, thyssenkrupp Steel is able to produce harder and thinner flat steel products that are used in cars and electric motors. It is the world's first double reversing mill with Hyper UCM silicon steel technology, which offers a significantly higher production output than a single-stand cold rolling mill.
Plant engineering
With the P2.e generation, SEW-EURODRIVE is expanding its product portfolio in the field of industrial planetary gear units. Compactness, flexibility and a high thermal limit power make the gear unit the ideal solution for continuously operated heavy-duty applications with limited installation space.
Digitalisation
The exchange of data between suppliers and customers is a challenging task. Data is currently used for process development (e.g. for refractory materials) as well as for the development of quality predictions. Thinking further, the data can be used to calculate the CO2 footprint, for example.
The thermal management of torpedo ladle cars plays an important role in the transport of hot metal from the blast furnace to the steelworks. This paper presents the development of an AI system to support decision-making in the selection of the most energy-efficient torpedo car. The application uses a simulation-based digital twin consisting of reduced-order models of validated FEM models to predict the temperatures of the refractory lining and hot metal in the torpedo ladles.
Steel Trading, Distribution and Processing
With the introduction of the CliMore® brand, the BENTELER Steel/Tube Division will in future summarise its CO2-reduced steels and steel tube products under a uniform and catchy product brand. Three label levels - Advantage, Ambition and Excellence - characterise how the steels or tubes were produced and which types of energy were used. The first CliMore® hydraulic line pipes were delivered to a German manufacturer of agricultural and construction machinery in November 2023.
Steel traders often offer additional services - such as processing - as part of steel service centres. This raises the question of when an original steel trader becomes a manufacturing company. On the one hand, processing can be carried out "in-house", for which the steel trader maintains and invests in its own machinery. Or the steel trader can go down the outsourcing route and look for service providers to take over the processing for him. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. HEINE+BEISSWENGER uses the example of saws to illustrate the entrepreneurial approach.
AICHELIN Service has coordinated and implemented the relocation of two AICHELIN chamber furnace lines for Winning BLW GmbH, a leading company in the field of precision solid forming. These were moved from different locations to Winning's new plant in Penzberg (Bavaria). One of the two lines has already been successfully in operation since July 2023, while the second is due to be commissioned by the end of 2023.

Steel production / plant engineering
Schmiedewerke Gröditz renews electric arc furnace with KSK technology
KSK and Schmiedewerke Gröditz announce the completion of a milestone. The 50 t electric arc furnace has been modernised. The new water-cooled furnace roof in tubular design, including dust chamber and recooling circuit, was successfully put into operation at Schmiedewerke Gröditz. The furnace characteristics, the KSK components and their properties are described.
Precise in-line thickness and width measurement in the manufacture of flat products
Mecorad had further developed the capabilities of the "wtl series" radar measurement solutions. The wtl series provides precise and robust information from the most difficult process stages in continuous casting and hot rolling of flat, long or heavy plates. The software on which the solution is based distributes digital information to each production stage for flexible production and beyond.
Cleaning exhaust air systems with sound pressure
Exhaust air systems in steelworks are exposed to high dust loads at high temperatures, which leads to dust deposits in individual components. Known consequences of this contamination are increased pressure losses, greatly reduced heat transfer, imbalances on fans, clogged filters, etc., which leads to reduced productivity and even damage. Cleaning is therefore carried out at defined intervals. If the system has to be shut down for this, production downtimes usually have to be accepted. In order to keep the production plant permanently clean, permanently installed sonic horns can be used to remove dirt from the system during the ongoing process by means of sonic pressure.

Compactness, flexibility and a high thermal limit power make the gear unit the ideal solution for continuously operated heavy-duty applications with limited installation space.
DIGITALISATION
Optimisation of data exchange in steel mill processes
The article describes the importance of digitalisation in the context of the steel manufacturer's collaboration with refractory suppliers. It discusses the importance of data exchange and describes data collection during production. Optimisation potential is explained, such as the creation of a data collection plan. This supports the discussion among experts and is still superior to AI as a tool. Finally, cooperation with customers is explained.
A needle in a haystack in seconds
Over 1,600 tonnes of metal, rolled into coils, pass through the BILSTEIN Group's production facilities every day. To eliminate the risk of mix-ups, the global player relies on the ibaDatawyzer-ICC coil identification software from iba AG. For coil identification, ibaDatawyzer-ICC primarily uses the longitudinal thickness profile of the rolled coil.
AI-supported software in order management
GLA-WEL GmbH, an owner-managed, medium-sized metalworking company based in Melle, Lower Saxony, relies on AI-supported software for its order management. The solution enables the metal contract manufacturer to successfully automate customer orders and enquiries and increase efficiency. Incoming orders from customers vary greatly and include up to 100 different items. It used to take several hours to enter such an order manually. The newly introduced AI-based software, on the other hand, now manages this in just three minutes on average thanks to intelligent automation.
