2 Metals Technologies Secondary Metallurgy Solutions Technology, mechanical engineering, automation and electrical engineering from a single source – top values in productivity, consumption and availability 070408_SecMet_REV_RZ04.indd 2070408_SecMet_REV_RZ04.indd 221.05.2007 143933 Uhr21.05.2007 143933 Uhr 2 From alloy handling to degassing, desulfurization, and decarburization, the production of high-quality steels without secondary metallurgy is unthink- able. It’s crucial that the entire plant meets all prescribed perance values while at the same time delivering the planned steel quality in a safe, repro- ducible manner. Our work is focused on fulfilling these requirements. You expect... Efficient production and maximum productivity – through application of comprehensive plant expertise Reliable delivery times, prompt com- missioning, fast run-up – and reliable spare part supply Flexible plant design – for the produc- tion of various steel qualities Low, demonstrably reachable consump- tion values – for alloying elements and energy Reliable compliance with environ- mental regulations – including future requirements 070408_SecMet_REV_RZ04.indd Abs12070408_SecMet_REV_RZ04.indd Abs1221.05.2007 143943 Uhr21.05.2007 143943 Uhr 3 Your challenge Refining crude steel, improving perance Perfect teamwork for maximum efficiency High availability, short charge cycle times, low consumption values, and reduced personnel costs are decisive factors for the perance and productivity of your secondary metallurgy. All of this requires basic expertise from your solution provider Only finely tuned process control and automation ensure efficient use of personnel and short cycle times. Only precise scaling of design parame- ters for the material used can guarantee verifiable conance with consump- tion values. And only the correct plant design leads to minimal space costs for the vacuum pump, alloying facility, and metallurgical vessels. Your customers require the best Does your plant need to produce a wide variety of products Do you need to quickly adapt to different requirements Are you looking to reliably fulfill challeng- ing expectations – perhaps in the area of ULC steels, where today a carbon content of less than 20 ppm is often expected This requires mechanics specifically designed for steel mills as well as an efficient automation solution and high- ly developed process models for various steel qualities. But the parameters that influence the process must also be stable and calculable, especially when it comes to the power supply. High plant perance must be long-lasting The expertise of your service and main- tenance personnel has a significant influ- ence on plant operation, safety, and avail- ability. That’s why your solution provider must be able to pass on available knowl- edge to operating personnel, and to sup- port your service experts at any time with necessary spare parts. In short A commitment is needed that goes beyond what’s often seen in the industry today. Environmental require- ments are also growing International agreements and national laws require a reduction of pollution and CO2 emissions. And naturally you also have a responsibility to the people and the country where you are produc- ing. So you should also uate your solution provider on how well they can support increasing environmental re- quirements – both today and tomorrow. 070408_SecMet_REV_RZ04.indd Abs13070408_SecMet_REV_RZ04.indd Abs1321.05.2007 143944 Uhr21.05.2007 143944 Uhr 4 The right approach Our Secondary Metallurgy Solutions for your EAF or BOF steelmaking shop An MES Manufacturing cution Sys- tem solution for optimized production planning and for minimizing of raw materialsconsumption. Our offerings also include power quality solutions for a stable, fault-free energy supply for your secondary metallurgy, even under high power loads. Complying with emission limits – including future standards As a complete plant supplier we can pre- cisely configure the downstream environ- mental technology to the gas exhaust parameters and the secondary metallurgy process cycle. You’re assured of not only fulfilling today’s limit values, but of being prepared for tomorrow’s regulations as well. Ensured perance throughout the entire life-cycle With reliable operation thanks to knowl- edge transfer from our training experts, and assured spare part supply, Siemens VAI’s comprehensive service offerings boost plant availability throughout the entire life-cycle. And we also cover your strategically planned modernization at just the right point in time in terms of both technology and economics. All components from Siemens VAI are built to withstand the highest everyday loads. We achieve this through extensive standardization, many years of teamwork with selected suppliers, certified output controls, and systematic quality assurance. In addition, we guarantee that parts cri- tical to perance will be produced in Germany. The result Assured delivery times, high availability and a long plant life-cycle. Coordinated layout – optimized process Just as decisive as component quality is the optimization of plant layout and process. Our experience helps us precisely coor- dinate movement cycles in order to mini- mize secondary processing times and use electrical and thermal energy more efficiently. And by holistically taking all upstream and downstream plants into account, the individual cycle times can be “cleanly” balanced. Automation with power – for productivity and quality All secondary metallurgy processes, from ladle furnace to vacuum treatment plant, are covered using an easily integrated automation solution from Siemens VAI. In addition to process control, it also offers Continuously developed process mod- els for the reliable, reproducible pro- duction of various steel qualities. 070408_SecMet_REV_RZ04.indd Abs14070408_SecMet_REV_RZ04.indd Abs1421.05.2007 143945 Uhr21.05.2007 143945 Uhr 5 What does working with Siemens VAI stand for It stands for thirty years of vacuum technology under the name of VAI FUCHS, 100 years of Siemens experience as partner to the metals industry – and an installed base of 180 secondary metallurgical plants.

A vacuum alloy hopper system allows for compositional adjustments. Good homogenization and high alloy yields are characteristic features of this process. De- pending on the metal lurgical reactions in the ladle, a freeboard of 600–1,200 mm is required. In order to increase producti- vity, the VD system can also be designed or expanded to a twin-vessel system. Vacuum tank degassing systems VD Proven and reliable 80 -t VD plant, Acc. Venete S.P.A., Camin, Italy Vacuum tank degassing is one of the old- est degassing techniques in use in the steel industry for improving steel quality. A teeming ladle is placed in a vacuum tank, which is connected to a vacuum pump system. The ladle is equipped with 1–3 porous plugs through which inert gas is injected into the melt to promote stirring. Metallurgical reactions such as degassing, deoxidation, decarburization, desulfurization and alloying take place under vacuum conditions.
