Production Details

Steel For Tire Reinforcing

Silicon and manganese deoxidation is carried out.
Liquid steel flow is shrouded between ladle and tundish as well as tundish and mould so as to control the inclusions.
Continuous casting machine is equipped with electromagnetic stirrers.
Decarburization is kept minimum during the reheating process at the walking beam furnace prior to rolling.
Fast cooling mode is achieved at the controlled cooling conveyor in order to reach the desired mechanical properties and scale characteristics.

Low Carbon Steel Suitable For Cold Drawing

Silicon and aluminum deoxidation is carried out.
Fast or retarded cooling modes are achieved at the controlled cooling conveyor in order to reach the desired mechanical properties and scale characteristics.

Low Carbon Steel Suitable For Cold Drawing To Finer Sizes

Aluminum and manganese deoxidation is carried out.
Modification of the inclusions is achieved by Ca-wire injection method after the ladle treatment.
Fast or retarded cooling modes are achieved at the controlled cooling conveyor in order to reach the desired mechanical properties and scale characteristics.

Steel For Presressed Wires And Strands

Selected scrap is charged to the electric arc fumaces in order to control the impurity elements such as Cu, Cr and Ni, Level of total impurities is kept minimum by adding Pig Iron and HBI to the scrap.

Eccentric bottom tapping and bottom purging system are employed at the electric ard furnaces in order to control the slag amount and composition.

Final product is inspected with narrow tolerances both in size and shape.

Surface oxide is suitable for mechanical descaling and chemical pickling.

Wire rods of 5.5-18 mm are compacted and secured automatically by four wire ties into coils of 1500 kg. Two tags covering the details of the heat are attached.

Traceability of the product is ensured with production certificates of every heat.

Certificates with chemical analysis and mechanical properties allow the product to be traced until after final use.

These grades are produced according to ASTM and DIN standards. It is possible to produce other grades with some deviations in analysis on special request.
