The new high-tech special steel plant, once operative, is intended to replace the existing voestalpine Böhler Edelstahl GmbH & Co KG plant in Kapfenberg and designed to produce premium quality pre-materials for aircraft components, tools for the automotive industry, equipment for oil & gas extraction, and for the 3D printing of highly complex metal parts.

As part of the digitalized production process, around 8,000 process data will be recorded in parallel and implemented or evaluated on an ongoing basis. “The high degree of digitalization at the new special steel plant is the prerequisite for being able to supply our customers with even higher material qualities, and, in doing so, to further extend our global market leadership in tool and special steels,” said Franz Rotter, member of the Management Board of voestalpine AG and head of the High Performance Metals Division. “The relevant development work and qualifying our employees in robotics, sensor technology, and data analysis takes place at our own digitalization competence center located directly on the site of the plant.” 热处理展-工业炉展-2018第十九届广州国际热处理、工业炉展览会-中国效果最好的热处理工业炉展--巨浪展览 —The 19th China(Guangzhou)Int’l Heat Treatment, Industrial Furnace Exhibition -Heat Treatment exhibition, Heat Treatment expo, 2018 Heat Treatment exhibition, 2018 Heat Treatment expo, China Heat Treatment exhibition, China Heat Treatment expo, Industrial Furnace exhibition, Industrial Furnace expo, 2018 Industrial Furnace exhibition, 2018 Industrial Furnace expo, China Industrial Furnace exhibition, China Industrial Furnace expo
