International Steels expands HICON/H 2 capacity for steel strip coils

annealing

IN March 2017, International Steels Ltd placed an order with Ebner to increase the throughput capacity of its existing HICON/H 2 bell annealer facility. The order comprises the supply of eight HICON/H 2 workbases, three heating bells and five cooling bells, plus the now necessary pressure-reducing station for hydrogen and nitrogen. The furnace facility accommodates low carbon steel strip coils with an outside diameter of up to 2,000mm and a stack height of 5,300mm. This expansion phase brings the number of available HICON/H 2 workbases to 20, each with a maximum net charge weight of 113 tonnes. International Steels Ltd has been relying on Ebner’s HICON/H 2 annealing technology since 2008. The design of the metallically encapsulated workload space together with the quality and reliability of the facilities and customer service were key in the decision to invest in Ebner HICON/H 2 technology again.
