Heat Treatment of Large diameter Steel Pipes
Features:
- Inside the furnace the big size pipes, to be heat-treated, are charged likewise on cantilever supported un-cooled rolls. However the rolls are mounted on a straight axis. The shells of the rolls are likewise of high heat resistant alloys. Individual gear motors and universal shafts drive the rolls.
- Once the pipe has been positioned at the centre of the furnace it is picked up by a mechanical transfer system from the stationary charging rolls and placed onto the fixed beam system.
- The moving and fixed beams of both furnaces are equipped with trough-type profiles and are of heat-resistant castings. This design ensures rotation of the pipes with each movement of the walking beam during the transport through the furnace.
- During furnace idling time or between cycle times the pipes are kept rotating at the spot.
- The walking beam frame of the furnace is driven by bell crank levers across tracks connected by tension and transverse rods. All rollers are equipped with anti-friction bearings and are connected to a central lubricating system.
- Hydraulic cylinders are provided for the lifting and lowering. Cylinder synchronisation is achieved through a synchronising shaft.
- After the pipes have been normalised, they are transferred to likewise cantilevers supposed discharge rolls. These rolls, however, are indirectly water cooled. The roll shells are of high heat resistant alloys.

Heat Treatment Plants for Annealing Electric Steel
Exclusively in manufacturing of low voltage asynchronous and hermetic motors
Committed to excellence-Increase performance-Drive Innovation-Act responsively -Value People-Attract and empower talent-Customer focused Non-siliconized or low-siliconized semi-finished strip is increasingly used for the manufacture of magnetic cores for electrical equipment. The cores are fabricated from cold rolled strip which undergoes critical deformation after recrystalization and must be annealed after punching. Following annealing, core loss is of an order of 2 to 4 W/kg for a sheet thickness of 0.5 to 0.7mm. Electrical sheet manufactured by this process is superior to dynamo strip not only with regard to cost but also with regard to:
- saturation
- A.C. premeability
- core loss (due to magnetic transformation)
- ageing
- lamination factor and
- the quality of the cutting edges
Appropriate temperature and furnace atmosphere control induces three simultaneous heat-treatment effects needed to fabricate material of the properties required. The hard, fine-grained ferritic structure is transformed into a soft coarse-grained structure according to ASTM series 2½ to 3½. At the same time, the carbon content of the metal is reduced to less than 0.005% to prevent any effect of residual carbon on the properties of the material ageing. Further, an oxide coating is obtained at a temperature of 550°C. Decarburization and plating necessitate permanent contact between the reaction gas and the strip surface. The oil, normally applied prior to punching the laminations, is burnt off in the first heating zone.
