Steel industry
In the steel industry, equipment is exposed to extreme temperatures, intense abrasion and high mechanical stress. Our electrodes and welding wires ensure the hardfacing and repair of ladles, tundishes, rolling mill rolls, crucibles and other critical components, guaranteeing safety, performance and durability.
Read moreThe steel industry puts equipment to the test, exposing it to extreme temperatures, abrasion, corrosion and intense thermomechanical shocks.
Welding is essential for the maintenance and repair of critical components such as ladles, tundishes, ingot moulds, rolling mill rolls, torpedo cars and crucibles. Hardfacing electrodes and wires provide effective protection against wear and extend the service life of parts subjected to repeated thermal cycles. Certain alloys are also used for heat-resistant assemblies and special steels.
These interventions help to limit production stoppages, secure installations and optimize operating costs in one of the most demanding environments in heavy industry.
A few examples
-
Agglomeration stars - FCW 414N-S
Its exceptional resistance to abrasion at high temperatures makes it ideal for sintering starbursts. Its martensitic deposit, combined with chromium and nitride, offers excellent resistance to impact and severe wear. It effectively prolongs the life of parts in continuous service in extreme steelmaking environments.
-
Hot rolling mill rolls - ABRAFIL 430
It is recommended for the hardfacing of hot-rolling rolls thanks to its good resistance to oxidation and high-temperature corrosion. Its ferritic composition ensures excellent dimensional stability and limits the risk of cracking. It is ideally suited to the demanding thermal environments of the steel industry.
