Wire 2018Steel development: More efficiency for case-hardened components
For Deutsche Edelstahlwerke (DEW), Wire 2018 is all about new technology standards: With DEW RC+T (Rapid Cooling + Tempering), the Schmolz + Bickenbach Group company is increasing efficiency and quality in the production of case-hardened components. The new process replaces time-consuming annealing processes and refines the microstructure.
Deutsche Edelstahlwerke has invested around 15 million euros in the modernization of the rolling mill in Siegen since 2015: The combination of temperature-controlled rolling and controlled cooling of the case-hardened steels is the basis for more efficient production of case-hardened components.
