Abstract

With a limited global steel production growth, automotive application market shows interesting volumes and trends especially in emerging countries. The recent period has again enabled Siemens VAI to confirm a position amongst leading suppliers of new plants serving high-end steel production in particular for unexposed and exposed automotive material. With a series of recent plant references in operation and under construction, relevant answers to such sustained level of performances are highlighted along the downstream processes. Designed for a wide range of applications, Siemens VAI processing lines includes advanced technological and state-of–the art equipment, among them, Solid state laser welder, Pickling Tunnel tanks, Skin pass mill and Tension leveller, Side trimmer with dynamic width adjustment, and new generation of Automatic surface inspection systems. With a continuous aim of driving improvements, Siemens VAI has also developed Global Quality Monitoring solutions notably through advanced software which provide just-in-time warnings and assist steel makers in the daily operation of their lines. As lifecycle partner, Siemens VAI offers solutions and services in metallurgical expertise from metallurgical modelling, through physical simulation on rolling, annealing and galvanizing processes, and enables Siemens to accompany our customers along with their project definition till fulfilment of highest market requirements.
