made by ebner Dear business partners, Dear employees, In the second edition of our HICON® Journal this year, celebrating 100 years of production "Made by EBNER", we would like to report on some of the more interesting projects and technological developments in the industrial furnace sector. Our company philosophy - to be technological leader in heat treatment facilities for the steel, aluminum and copper alloy metals industries - has again been acknowledged by our customers worldwide with an excellent level of incoming orders this year. EBNER has impressed many customers with the quality of...

About 100 km southeast of Ekaterinburg lies the industrial city of Kamensk-Uralsky. Close to 200,000 people live here in the mid-Ural region and largely make a living in the main industry of the region: metallurgy. One of the most important businesses in Kamensk Uralsky is Kamensk Uralsky Metallurgical Works (KUMZ). KUMZ was founded in 1944, and today it is one of the world‘s leading manufacturers of high-quality aluminum semi-finished products for the aerospace and mechanical engineering industries. In 2006, a modern plant for the production of aluminum plates was completed. Since then,...

KUMZ / Russia HICON Journal interviewed the Sales Manager for Russia, Reinhard Leithner, about the project. KUMZ has decided to trust "Made by EBNER" quality yet again, there must be a reason for that. An investment of this magnitude is not made quickly or without a lot of thought. The main reasons were probably the good experience KUMZ had with EBNER during the already completed projects and also our technology leadership in each of the furnace types. And the concept of getting everything from one source appealed to KUMZ. EBNER was the only supplier able to quote for all the different heat...

Copper-base metals Asia. Specifically, South Korea. More specifically, the city of Ulsan. Until 1962, it was largely a sea harbor and fish market. Today, Ulsan is home to many major industries such as oil refineries, heavy industry, fertilizer factories and automotive manufacturers. Both the globally active car manufacturer Hyundai and a Poongsan Corporation plant are located here. This plant manufactures plate and strip for a large variety of industries. EBNER technology has been trusted here for years: four EBNER furnace facilities are in operation at this plant. The newest success,...

Poongsan Corporation / South Korea Sales and Project Manager Franz Wiesinger on the cooperation between EBNER and Poongsan: Mr. Wiesinger, what did EBNER do to establish itself as the best partner for solving problems and meeting requirements for Poongsan? The decision for "made by EBNER" heat treatment was a clear one, especially because of the ultra-thin material thickness of just 0.05 mm. The alternative technology to EBNER‘s bright annealing line is an annealing/pickling line, which cannot process this material thickness. So the advantages of the EBNER bright annealing line triggered...

Vertical hardening and tempering line with HICON/H2Q® quenching technology

Böhler Uddeholm Precision Strip GmbH / Austria Böhler Uddeholm Precision Strip GmbH, a subsidiary of voestalpine AG, is a world leader in hardened and tempered steel strip. In order to maintain this quality leadership while carrying out a strategic centralization of various activities, one of Europe‘s most modern cold rolling mills with integrated saw blade production was built in Kematen an der Ybbs, Austria. The first construction phase (2011) included the cold rolling mill and the world‘s most modern bell annealer facility featuring a heat exchanging concept (as reported in the April...

Steel We talked with Mr Eppensteiner and Mr Seemann about the production process of Böhler-Uddeholm‘s newest piece of equipment: the H2 jet hardening and tempering line Mr Eppensteiner, what made Böhler-Uddeholm decide on an EBNER facility? Böhler Uddeholm recognized that a lead-free H2 jet hardening and tempering line is the technology of the future and decided to invest in a vertical hardening and tempering line with HICON/H2Q® hydrogen quench technology. Mr Seemann, I suppose it was not just the environmental compatibility of the facilities that gave EBNER the edge. What would you say...
