Welcome to visit us at:
DANSTEEL A/S has awarded an order
to SMS Siemag, Germany, for the
comprehensive modernisation of its heavy-
plate mill in Fredericksvaerk, Denmark.
The order comprises the supply of a new
4.2m heavy-plate stand, a new hot-plate
leveler and the renewal of the conveying
facilities as well as the pertaining X-Pact®
electrical and automation package. The
revamp will take place in autumn 2012.
The DanSteel modernisation is one
of the largest investments in a European
heavy-plate mill during the last few years.
The aims of the modernisation are to
extend the product range and improve
the product quality. At the same time, it
will also establish the preconditions for a
production increase to be realised later.
The new heavy-plate stand replaces
DanSteel’s 3.6m mill stand from the 1960s.
It will be Europe’s second heavy-plate
stand to be equipped with CVC ® plus
technology. The mill stand will also possess
hydraulic roll-gap adjustment systems
and equipment for work-roll bending. The
maximum rolling force is 80MN.
The new hot-plate leveller is designed for
plates between 5 and 100mm in thickness
and in widths up to 4,200mm. Its levelling
force is 29 MN.
In the electrical and automation field,
the supply scope comprises the X-Pact®
Modernisation of heavy-plate mill
level-1 and level-2 systems, the power
supply, the drive technology and the
engineering for the new hardware and
software components.
The automation equipment will be set
up beforehand in the SMS Siemag test
fields and then tested in accordance with
the proven plug and work concept. In
addition, SMS Siemag will carry out the
dismantling of the old systems and the
complete installation and commissioning
of the new equipment.

AWST will
be held in
Antalya in
October
AFTER the successful completion of the
63rd Annual Assembly of the International
Institute of Welding (IIW) in Istanbul in July
2010, Gedik Education Foundation (GEV)
and Turkish Welding Technology Academy
(TKTA) have now invited welding scientists
and engineers from industry and academia
to take part in IIW International Congress
AWST 2011 in Antalya, Turkey on 21-22
October.
AWST 2011 aims to bring leading
scientists and engineers to share recent
advances in welding and joining sciences
and technologies to achieve cost-effective,
environmentally friendly, safe and long-
lasting welded systems in construction,
energy and transportation.
The congress will be chaired by TKTA
president Dr Mustafa Koçak and will be
realised at one of the most beautiful
locations of Turkey, Antalya. Papers
are invited to cover the following topics
where parallel oral sessions and poster
exhibition will also be organised. Recent
developments in:
• Advanced steel and sl-alloys and their
weldability
• Development of welding consumables,
advanced welding processes, FSW,
laser welding
• Design and simulation approaches and
their industrial applications
• Testing and characterisation of welds
• Analysis of fatigue-fracture-corrosion-
creep mechanisms of welds
• Fitness-for-service (FFS) procedures,
applications and standardisations
• Welding education and training
