In today’s industrial landscape, success depends not only on technical expertise but also on effective intercultural collaboration. This current project between HPI and a U.S. customer demonstrates how international teamwork can turn ambitious ideas into reality.
The decades of cooperation between EBNER and C.D. Waelzholz GmbH & Co. KG represent one of the most successful partnerships in the field of heat treatment technology. Over the years, what began as a classic customer/supplier relationship has developed into a close technological collaboration that serves as a prime example of future-oriented innovation in an industrial context.
To improve the economic and ecological performance of industrial heat treatment processes, there is an increasing focus on energy optimized plant concepts. The Compact Coil Furnace (CCF) combines modern technology with high efficiency and sets new standards in the heat treatment of individual coils.
Innovation, precision, and decades of experience have made EBNER the world’s technology leader in the heat treatment of aluminum plates for the aerospace industry.
Hot-rolled and Stelmor-cooled wire rod are essential starting materials for a number of cold forming processes. The first heat treatment a coil of wire rod usually undergoes is a spheroidization anneal, where the as-cast hot-rolled microstructure is optimized for additional cold forming. The decisive factors for this process are the ability to precisely control the temperature and the composition of the atmosphere.
In this interview, Markus Gangl, Senior Product Manager Aluminum, explains how EBNER Industrieofenbau uses state-of-the-art furnace technologies to accurately control these processes, which processes are used for which alloys and why the right combination of temperature control, atmosphere flow design and quenching technology makes the difference between run-of-the-mill and peak performance.
We recently interviewed Richard Speletz, Model Developer, who explained how physics-based models, digital twins and AI algorithms will revolutionize control systems and optimize bell annealer furnaces – providing everything from intelligent responses to process faults to precision temperature control.
Thomas Langthaler has been part of EBNER since 2001. In the interview, he talks about how he optimizes workflows and interfaces within Engineering, why teamwork is the key factor for success for him, and what motivates him every day when facing new challenges.
Aluminum is one of the most versatile metals of our time: its light weight and strength make it indispensable in sectors like the automotive, aerospace and packaging industries. However, before a cast rolling ingot can enter the rolling mill, the microstructure within it must be perfectly prepared. This is where homogenizing heat treatment comes in.
Decarbonizing the steel industry is essential – especially energy-intensive processes like heat treatment. In this interview, Sascha Eppensteiner explains how emission-free technologies such as electric direct heating and smart heat recovery systems, exemplified by the GREENBAFx®, contribute to climate-neutral production while remaining economically viable.
