    查看更多>>摘要:Kubota's modern facilities in Orillia, Canada, produce heat-resistant cast alloys for steel mills. New alloys and new techniques are continually being developed to meet the demanding conditions of continuous annealing and galvanising lines, reheat furnaces and other extreme environments in the steel industry. Kubota manufactures hearth rolls in various sizes from 60 to 1600mm in diameter. These rolls are made with high-quality centrifugally cast barrels and Special cast trunnion ends that are better able to withstand the high temperature, high stress conditions of modern steel mills. Toe company has developed wet and dry rolls for thin slab reheat furnaces that have Superior life.

    SUPERIOR METALS TESTING SOLUTIONS

Instron has now acquired a range of brands, including Satec, Wilson, Dynatup, Baldwin, Riehle and Wolpert - all names that thrived on various aspects of metals testing - in an effort to develop a world-class metals testing product line. Instron's metals testing capabilities include hardness, impact, servo-hydraulic fatigue and mechanically driven tension and compression testers with capacities up to 600kN. With the acquisition of Satec Systems in 1998, matron also offers a full range of universal testers with capacities up to 3mN.

    STATE-OF-THE-ART WIRE DRAWING

    查看更多>>摘要:The most in-demand process in the world steel market is the cold drawing process. This new method is economical, it provides the desired wire strength and results in increased production and lower labour costs. A complete plant consists of a hydraulic pay-off stand, a wire drawing block to give the wire a clean, bright finish and an on-line rolling ribbing cassette operated at high speed - for example, 4 to 12m/sec -which helps make the deformed Strips on the wire. The finished wire is wound on a heavy-duty spooling machine. When the required weight or length of ribbed wire is achieved, the spooling machine stops and the operator is able to feed strapping through the slots provided and create the desired tension with convectional equipment.

    REVOLUTIONARY, ONLINE PROCESS CONTROL ANALYSIS

    查看更多>>摘要:Spark-DAT is a new analytical tool employing the digital treatment of signals from individual electrical sparks to extract new and valuable information or filter out spurious signals. It produces a spectacular increase in analysis information material, enabling its use in new analytical applications. The first version was an off-line tool targeted on the development of new applications. The acquired spark-value series were simply exported to programs with mathematical capabilities. Both digital acquisition and processing algorithms are now fully integrated into the WinOE instrument software. Furthermore, WinOE processes these extra values just like conventional ones - for example, by checking them against product specifications or transmitting them to process control computers.

The motors are used for variable-speed applications in a number of industries worldwide, where reliability and efficiency are required. Typical applications in the steel industry include:Steel millsCoilers ace recoilers'Flying' shearsWire drawing machinesThe product programme comprises three ranges of fully laminated motors representing state-of-the-art design in DC motors:The LAK 2000: two-pole motors up to 90kWThe LAK 4000 UNIQORE: four-pole motors to 500kWThe LAKC 4/6/8000: four-, Six- and eight-pole motors up to 2000kW with compensation winding

    HYDRAULIC CLAMPING SYSTEM FOR FOUR-ROW TAPER ROLLER BEARINGS

    查看更多>>摘要:The type of roll bearings most widely used in hot and cold rolling mills today are four row taper roller bearings, of open or completely closed design. These high-precision roll bearings are used because they can withstand high radial and axial forces, and do not require an additional axial nearing. This means that the roll, neck ace me chocks for the drive/operating side can be shorter. Ever-increasing demands are being made on today's hot-and cold-strip lines, in terms of the surface quality of the rolled material, ergonomic performance and conformity with safety regulations. In response to these demands, Fooke now offers a simple and safe solution, alto the development of a hydraulic clamping system for axial positioning of four-row taper roller bearings.

    A NEW METALS MONITORING INSTRUMENT

    查看更多>>摘要:A new instrument for the determination of gaseous and particulate run, zinc, calcium and other metals - independently and directly in the fumes emitted from steelmaking processes - is commercially available from EDAX, Inc. Chime metals analysis aids in optimising important process steps, minimising metal losses to the waste-gas cleaning system and to the environment. The EDAX waste fume analyser (WFA) is a real-time metals monitor for measuring airborne particles and fumes from all pyrometallurgical processes. Based on the well-accepted method of X-ray fluorescence, the instrument can detect numerous metals simultaneously in the fume and report their concentration on a mass-per-unit-time basis in real-time to a control-room computer

    CLEAN-FLOW NOZZLES

    查看更多>>摘要:LWB Refractories (formerly Baker and Wulfrath Refractories) has developed a new innovative product: clear-flow nozzles designed to prevent alumina clogging. This innovation is toe result of sever years of research and development with doloma-based refractories. Doloma-based clean-flow nozzles form a nor-wetting static boundary surface between the refractory and steel. Toe non-wetting surface is formed by low melting point eutectics resulting from the interaction of CaO and Al_2O_3. The non-wetting surface prevents the continual leaching of CaO into the system, thus preventing erosion. This development has led to field trials and the conversion of BOF and EAF plants to clear-flow tundish nozzles, A typical BOF plant might have the following characteristics:BOF shopTwo casters (one strand each)Ladle size: 265 tonsSlab productsCarbon and alloy steels
