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 ® (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

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. SMS Siemag – Germany Email: thilo.sagermann@sms-group.com Website: www.sms-siemag.com 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 AWST – Turkey Website: www.awst2011.com

Modernisation of heavy-plate mill

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
