Researchers at Toyohashi University of Technology have collaborated with their counterparts at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop a new material capable of retaining high transmissivity after annealing at 850°C (1562°F). The results address the challenge manufacturers face when combining different materials that react differently to heat treatment at certain temperatures.

BILSTEIN CEE a.s. Orders EBNER HICON/H2® Bell Annealer Facility

/ ANNEALING TECHNICAL CONTENT, FEATURED NEWS, HEAT TREAT NEWS INDUSTRIES, MANUFACTURING HEAT TREAT

BILSTEIN CEE a.s, based in the Czech Republic, is part of the globally active BILSTEIN GROUP. The BILSTEIN GROUP produces various grades of high-quality cold rolled strip for a wide variety of applications.

Two years ago an order was placed with EBNER to supply a HICON/H2® bell annealer facility to heat treat steel strip coils, comprising four workbases.

Although this facility was commissioned successfully less than one year ago, BILSTEIN CEE a.s. awarded EBNER the contract for the expansion of this facility by a further three workbases.

The new workbases will be commissioned in 2017, increasing production by about 60%.

Direct-chill (DC) casting is currently the most common semi-continuous casting practice in non-ferrous metallurgy. The process is characterized by molten metal being fed through a bottomless water cooled mould where it is sufficiently solidified around the outer surface that it takes the shape of the mould and acquires sufficient mechanical strength to contain the molten core at the centre. As the ingot emerges from the mould, water impinges directly from the mould to the ingot surface (direct chill), falls over the cast surface and completes the solidification.
