EBNER GROUP Journal for Progress in Industrial Furnace Technology.
STC Heat Treatment Furnaces
A protective atmosphere roller type short cycle annealing furnace, generally referred to as an STC furnace, is primarily used to bright anneal products such as bar, wire, and copper pipe, improving the uniformity of their structures and enhancing their ability to undergo mechanical processing.
A great Honor
David Hazelett receives the Boultinghouse award. The Boultinghouse award is the highest award given by the North American aluminum industry.
New GNA Management
GNA alutech inc.: celebrating 40 years of excellence in the aluminum industry as a supplier of equipment and technology.
New Dimensions
With the opening of the new HyForge casting facility at their aluminum recycling plant in Rackwitz, Germany, Hydro Aluminium has passed another milestone. This forty million Euro investment is in response to the automotive industry’s effort to decarbonize, and increases Hydro’s capacity for recycled aluminum scrap.
New Management at Gautschi
In February of this year, Stefan Pelech took over operational management of Gautschi Engineering GmbH. Together with Udo Weilerscheidt, who is responsible for the financial side of the business, he is leading the company into the future.
Continuing a successful partnership
In October 2022, Acciaierie Valbruna S.p.A. placed an order with EBNER Thermal Solutions S.r.l. for delivery of a new heat treatment facility for their Vicenza works. Only eleven months later, the facility went into operation.
Heat Treatment Technology for Wire Rod and Drawn Wire.
The first time a coil of wire rod is heat treated it usually undergoes a spheroidization anneal, where the as-cast hot-rolled microstructure is optimized for additional cold forming. The excellent temperature uniformity that is achieved in HICON/H2® furnaces is essential for successfully annealing wire coils heat treated above the Ac1 temperature, particularly with highly-alloyed grades.
Copper: A Material with Potential.
Flexible EBNER facilities for every type of semifinished product provide our customers with the highest efficiency and best possible quality.
FAMETEC sets new standards.
Based on the research goals of EBNER Industrieofenbau GmbH, a unique furnace to grow sapphire single crystals was successfully developed early in 2012.
The Hazelett aluminum strip casting process
Aluminum strip and sheet are manufactured from cast slabs or strip in either a charged process or a continuous casting process. Hazelett’s process of choice is continuous casting, in which a Hazelett twin-belt casting facility is used.
GAUTSCHI MASTERmax.
Remelting metallic aluminum requires 10 to 15 times less energy than producing aluminum metal from bauxite. This is reason enough to collect every bit of aluminum that is unused or cannot continue in use and add it to a melting process. Every kilogram of aluminum that is collected prevents the emission of around 15 kg of CO2.
EEMCO: your Europeansource forsilicon carbide.
EEMCO was founded at the end of 2020, and is a part of the EBNER GROUP’s ADVANCED MATERIALS business unit.
SICREATE – the expert in silicon carbide powders.
SICREATE, founded in 2021, specializes in the development and production of silicon carbide powder.
This powder is used as a raw material in various applications in the semiconductor industry.
Hardening and tempering technology for aluminum plates
Efficiency, temperature uniformity, quench technology and high quenching rates: these are the key characteristics EBNER roller-hearth furnace facilities are provided with to fulfill the strict requirements of the aerospace industry.
Aluminum experts
As experts in the aluminum industry, the EBNER GROUP hosts a symposium for the Chinese market.
