Slide 6: History – Unna Plant
History – Unna Plant VDM Metals has combined tradition and innovation for over half a century. The Unna plant began operations in 1972. 2020 Acerinox S.A. acquires VDM Metals Group 2017 VDM starts powder production in Unna 2015 2014 Lindsay Goldberg TK takes VDM back from Outokumpu acquires VDM from
Slide 7: Quality management and quality assurance – Unna Plant
Quality management and quality assurance – Unna Plant Materials from VDM Metals undergo a strict quality control process. Quality control Certifications • Metallography • Corrosion Lab (Altena) Organization Certifications • Mechanical Lab (Altena, Werdohl) ISO 9001 • Chemical Lab (Werdohl) Quality EN9
Slide 8: Melting preparations – Unna Plant
Melting preparations – Unna Plant Preparation of a new melt in the open melt shop: The share of virgin raw materials and recycled scrap charged to the furnaces varies from material to material. The scrap that is produced during further processing is collected and returned to the cycle. 8
Slide 9: Open melting – Unna Plant
Open melting – Unna Plant VDM Metals operates an electric arc furnace and three induction furnaces in its open melt shop. Secondary metallurgy equipment is used to increase the purity of the materials. This part of the plant was commissioned in 1972. 9
Slide 10: Casting – Unna Plant
Casting – Unna Plant Casting in the open melt shop takes place in a vertical continuous caster or by ingot casting. VDM Metals uses the cast and/or remelted slabs or ingots as pre-material for the production of sheets and plates, strips, rods, bars, forgings, and wires. 10
Slide 11: Vacuum melting and remelting – Unna Plant
Vacuum melting and remelting – Unna Plant In addition to its use of conventional open-melting technology, VDM Metals also operates a vacuum-induction melting (VIM) furnace to produce highest-quality ingots. The materials’ homogeneity and purity can be enhanced by remelting via electroslag remelting
Slide 12: Forging – Unna Plant
Forging – Unna Plant Alongside its operation of open and vacuum/remelting melt shops, VDM Metals also produces forged bars in Unna. The open-die press used to forge ingots to bars operates with a pressure of up to 4,500 tons and uses two rail-bound manipulators. 12
Slide 13: Bar production – Unna Plant
Bar production – Unna Plant After annealing, which is required to set the desired mechanical properties, the bars are typically straightened, machined, (ultrasonic) tested, and cut to length before being shipped to customers around the world. 13
Slide 14: Powder production – Unna Plant
Powder production – Unna Plant A vacuum inert gas atomization plant (VIGA) forms the core of the powder manufacturing facility. The entire process takes place under vacuum and inert gas conditions, to ensure the highest possible purity. 14
