Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
24 Jan, 2022, 4:50 am

ArcelorMittal and Bekaert Group’s Brazilian wire joint venture is testing the production of a pulley for steel drawing equipment through a 3D printer at its Contagem plant in Minas Gerais state of Brazil. The project has been developed with CIT Senai Innovation and Technology Center and its prototype can be printed in 24 hours using the Mada process, Additive Manufacturing by Arc Deposition. Based on a three-dimensional model created on the computer, and using high quality steel wire, it was possible to reach a result that presents the same technical specifications of the part made by the conventional method. The Mada process employs a new approach to the manufacture of parts, with cost reductions and other advantages. In comparison with other traditional processes for the manufacture of parts, already established, Mada improves competitiveness and generates new approaches to the manufacturing chain as a whole.

The project aims to quickly print specific, single-use steel parts or products that usually would take days to produce. Using a high-quality steel wire and a computer tridimensional model, it successfully printed a product with the same technical specifications as if it had produced it the conventional way. It will be tested by Belgo Bekaert itself, at the Contagem plant, in the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte.

Since 2016 Belgo Bekaert has invested in research and 3D printing projects that use steel wire as raw material. In conjunction with the Federal University of Uberlandia UFU, Belgo Bekaert has already carried out a survey of the physical and metallurgical properties of a wide range of wires intended for 3D printing. The first steel part printed by this technique in Brazil was developed with Belgo wire for Petrobras, in partnership with the Federal University of Uberlandia, consolidating the potential for developing products with high resistance.

Published on :
24 Jan, 2022, 5:07 am

Nearly 300 tonnes of British Steel’s Scunthorpe rail are set to be installed at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, helping keep services running at the heritage line. In the mid-1960s after its closure, NYMR bought the line from British Railways between Pickering and Grosmont and has maintained the track and other assets ever since. During this time, British Steel has supplied a range of high-quality rails including bullhead rails for use at the Deviation Curve near Grosmont, flat bottom rails for bridge renewals at Goathland and now 290 tonnes of 54E1 flat bottom rails for the track from Kingthorpe to Farwath. The installation work will be carried out early this year by a small group of trained NYMR staff and volunteers in readiness for the return of visitors.

The railway, which was built in the 1830s, runs through glorious countryside and the 18 miles of the route owned by NYMR and 6 miles between Grosmont and Whitby owned by Network Rail are a popular tourist attraction offering visitors the exciting opportunity to climb on board a heritage steam or diesel train.

The latest section of the track to benefit from new rail runs from Kingthorpe to Farwath. It’s a very remote section of the railway with almost no public access and is in a heavily forested area.

thyssenkrupp Uhde Desulphurization Plant for ArcelorMittal Belgium

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
24 Jan, 2022, 5:17 am

ArcelorMittal Belgium has awarded thyssenkrupp Uhde an order for a desulphurization plant to be installed at its Ghent site. Main aim of this brownfield project is to enhance the existing coke oven gas treatment plant with a state-of-the art sulphur removal and recovery unit. thyssenkrupp Uhde will install its proprietary processes CYCLASULF for desulphurization as well as the MONOCLAUS® for a highly efficient sulphur recovery. The new units are planned to go into operation in July 2023.

As in all brownfield projects, specific requirements had to be met. In this case, the existing gas treatment unit also required a new back-up system for the existing part. thyssenkrupp Uhde was able to offer a smart solution which links existing and new process trains of the CYCLASULF process. This well-established, advanced solution for coke oven gas desulphurization removes hydrogen sulfide and ammonia (NH3) from coke oven gas very efficiently. The acid gas stream is concentrated and prepared for further processing, either to sulphur or sulphuric acid. In Ghent, elemental sulphur will be recovered. Modern mass transfer elements significantly reduce the size of the required equipment, keeping the footprint low.

The same is true for the state-of-the-art MONOCLAUS® process for sulphur recovery and ammonia decomposition. It enables the production of liquid pure sulphur utilizing a minimum number of equipment and pipelines compared to conventional Claus plants, which results in a very compact arrangement and footprint. By realizing this new back-up plant, ArcelorMittal Ghent will be able to operate a low-emission desulphurization plant during maintenance or inspection shutdowns, effectively replacing the former recovery plant which had a lower desulphurization capacity.

The original coke plant was built by thyssenkrupp Uhde’s coke plant specialists 25 years ago, then under the name of Thyssen Still Otto company.

Producent van groene koolstof zint op beursgang in Amsterdam
Gijs den Brinker 23 jan 15:00

De Nederlandse producent van biologische koolstof Perpetual Next wil over drie jaar een notering aan de Amsterdamse beurs. Het bedrijf heeft daartoe de Amerikaanse zakenbank Jefferies in de arm genomen. Dat meldt het aan het FD.

Perpetual Next heeft zo'n honderd man in dienst en verwacht volgend jaar een verdubbeling van dit aantal. Het koopt op grote schaal gebruikt hout, voedselresten en andere biologische restproducten op en zet deze afvalstromen in eigen fabrieken om in biologische koolstof en groen gas. Het wil op termijn ook groene waterstof maken.

Perpetual Next verhit de biologische grondstoffen in ovens met zogeheten torrefactietechnologie, waardoor de sappen langzaam verdwijnen. Het residu perst het vervolgens tot pellets. Deze koolstofklompjes verkoopt Perpetual Next onder meer aan staalbedrijf ArcelorMittal, dat ze in zijn fabriek in Gent gebruikt bij de productie van staal.

Nieuwe fabriek in Delfzijl
Perpetual Next boekte vorig jaar een omzet van €21,5 mln. Dit jaar zal de omzet een stuk hoger liggen dankzij nieuwe fabrieken die de poorten openen.

Het bedrijf heeft buiten Nederland onder meer productielocaties in Engeland en Estland. Deze maand kreeg het de optie om een lap grond te pachten in het havengebied van Delfzijl. Het wil op deze locatie een fabriek bouwen voor groen gas uit afval. Ook zijn er plannen om een fabriek in de Verenigde Staten te starten.

Op basis van de groeiplannen verwacht Perpetual Next in 2025, het jaar waarin het naar de beurs wil, een omzet van €250 mln en een brutobedrijfsresultaat van €80 mln te behalen. Om de groeiambities in goede banen te leiden, heeft het bedrijf sinds kort een nieuwe bestuursvoorzitter.

MMK Boosts Efficiency of the Continuous Casting Machine No 5

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
25 Jan, 2022, 4:48 am

The first stage of modernization of the Continuous Casting Machine No 5 has been completed at the Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works electric steelmaking shop. These measures made it possible to reduce the duration of long scheduled preventive repairs, to increase the inter-repair interval of replacement equipment and boost the unit's productivity. A joint project was prepared for CCM No 5 modernization with the participation of technical specialists from MMK, Mekhanoremontny Kompleks LLC and SMC Zimag Metallurgical Service Magnitogorsk LLC. Following technical solutions selected to increase equipment reliability and its technical service life were chosen

1. Reinforcing surfacing of the working surface of the vertical, radial and curvilinear sections of CCM's rollers

2. Modernization of bearing units, using a new type of bearings with increased wear resistance and modern contact seals

3. Replacement of obsolete mounted drives of all roller sections of CCM by gearboxes of gear pump type, with a centralised supply of grease to the gearbox

Cladding of rollers, completion of bearing units, assembly and adjustment of the upgraded CCMZ sections were performed at CRMO-3 of MRK LLC, with the participation of the quality and engineering service and the design and engineering department of MRK LLC.

These modernization measures will allow reducing the duration of planned preventive maintenance from 952 to 490 hours per year. In the period from July to December 2021 the first operational campaign of the modernised sections of the radial section was carried out. The overhaul interval of the first campaign was 2,418 heats, which is twice as long as the durability of the sections before modernisation.

The continuous slab double strand caster No 5 was introduced in June 2006. The capacity of the machine is about 1.5 million tonnes of billets per year, with the supplier being Uralmash Metallurgical Equipment. During the operation of CCM No 5, due to its design features, it was not possible to reach the desired production threshold as well as the durability of the equipment to levels declared by the supplier. After the reconstruction of the 2500 hot-rolling mill at LPTs-4 of MMK PJSC, it became necessary to supply it with a large volume of slab billets at CCM-5 of the electric steelmaking shop. Therefore, in 2020 it was decided to modernize CCM-5 in order to increase its production by improving the reliability of its main components. The increase in the maintenance periods of CCM-5 is an important condition for achieving the stated annual capacity of the electric steelmaking shop. Thanks to the measures taken it became possible to reduce the duration of long scheduled preventive maintenance, increase the inter-repair interval of shift equipment and increase the productivity of the unit.

Total investments in this project amounted to 400 million rubles. The expected economic effect from the implementation of the project will be at least 323 million rubles per year, with a payback period of 1.3 years.

EVRAZ Investing in ZSMK for Ultrasonic Quality Control of Rails

Russian steel maker EVRAZ will launch unique installations for ultrasonic quality control of rails at ZSMK rolling mill. Five modern installations will be put into operation during 2022 to control surface and internal defects of rails at ZSMK rail and beam shop, as part of the project to modernize the non-destructive testing lines of 25 and 100-meter rails, Two installations of the ultrasonic pulsed mirror-shadow testing method have already been put into commercial operation at the LNK-25 and LNK-100 sites. They are designed to detect macrostructure defects in the area of the head and neck of rail products. These are the first installations in the world that, in addition to symmetrical profiles, can control non-symmetrical types of rails, such as pointed rails. The new equipment automatically saves the control protocol for each rail, which makes it possible to carry out end-to-end certification of each unit of production.

In addition, LNK-25 is currently undergoing commissioning tests of another unit designed to control surface defects in rails. The principle of operation of the equipment is based on the use of phased array technology with the possibility of electronically changing the angle of entry of the ultrasonic wave. The units will replace the existing eddy current testing systems, which could also test only symmetrical profiles. Modern equipment will make it possible to investigate different types of rails, including sharp-witted rails and European standard profiles. The most important advantage of the new installations is the ability to control the quality of all areas of the rail, and not just the tread surfaces of the head and base of the sole. A similar unit at LNK-100 will be installed in the 1st quarter of 2022.

By the end of 2022, LNK-100 is planning to put into operation another ultrasonic echo-pulse testing method using phased array technology, designed to test internal rail defects. It will also make it possible to control all standard sizes of rails manufactured by EVRAZ ZSMK.

EVRAZ is investing more than 440 million rubles in the modernization of equipment for non-destructive testing lines. The project will allow by 2023 to increase the rail production capacity to 1. 59 million tonnes per year, increase the productivity of the shop by reducing the time for setting up equipment when
