Fret free transportation of steel coils
Conventionally steel coils are transported through trucks and rail wagons by placing them on wooden saddles. Due to uneven road surfaces, defects appear in coils called fretting corrosion. A special cushion to eliminate the defect has helped significant savings of waste and increase in efficiency. The design has been patented.
Novel technique to enhance the safe operation of blast furnaces
To enhance the safe operation of blast furnaces, a reliable measurement technology to monitor staves for better cooling and safe operation was developed. This was implemented successfully in the blast furnaces at the Jamshedpur Works.
Celsius® 420
A high strength, hot formed structural hollow section was developed. This allows more efficient structures, reduced material usage and lower installation costs. This is a newto- world product and a patent application has been filed. In September 2014, the first supply of material to customers commenced.
