As the supplier, EBNER Furnaces is proud to be a part of this landmark achievement—one that strengthens local manufacturing and allows Cleveland-Cliffs to produce high-quality surface finishes for demanding applications.

INVESTING IN A FIRST-CLASS FACILITY

The high-performance EBNER facility is the centerpiece of a 150-million-dollar investment, supplying stainless steel strip with a mirror-bright surface finish that is tailor-made to meet the highest quality standards, fulfill the strictest surface finish requirements and satisfy the most challenging customer requirements. The facility is designed for maximum reproducibility, durability during operation and long-term performance. It fulfills the most stringent requirements of the automotive and aerospace industries, where consistent surface properties, stable processes and reliable throughput are critical.

IN FOCUS: THE 100 % HYDROGEN ATMOSPHERE

One of the technical highlights of the facility is that heat treatment is carried out in 100 % hydrogen atmosphere, eliminating the need for post-treatment processing in a pickling facility. Thanks to the integrated hydrogen recycling facility, highest surface quality and ecological sustainability result in efficient operations.

A STRATEGIC MILESTONE FOR THE PLANT

The commissioning of the facility was a clear statement of commitment to the community of Coshocton and the plant employees. The new facility represents a significant milestone for the plant, and underlines the excellence of the collaboration with the engineering, maintenance, safety and manufacturing teams in Coshocton.

Stainless steel products manufactured at the plant will see use in a wide variety of applications, whether as automotive components, household appliances, sinks, pipes, knife blades, aerospace components, surgical instruments or furnace components.
