Steam Turbine For Power Generation


Steel Melting Furnace



Billets are Rolled to form Various Steel Sections in Structural Mill


The steel manufacturing process begins when ferrous scrap metal purchased from a nearby metals recycling yard arrives by rail car or truck and is unloaded by large overhead cranes.
Scrap metal is loaded into a "charge bucket" and brought into the melt shop where it will go through melting process.
The first melting step begins when the scrap is unloaded from the charge bucket into Electric Arc Furnace (EAF). The EAF uses electric power to heat the scrap to over 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit and melt it into liquid form. In the process, slag forms and floats to the top of the molten steel with oxidized impurities and discarded.

The molten steel is transferred to the Ladle Refining Furnace, the second step in our melting process. Here, the steel is tested and fine adjustments are made to the composition and temperature to ensure the right characteristics for the desired grade of steel to be produced
The refined molten steel is then transferred to continuous caster. Here, the steel is poured into molds, cooled and shaped into the desired cross section, essentially forming a long bar called a billet.

As the billets move through the continuous caster, they are cut by torches into desired lengths
The completed billets are used as the feedstock for rolling mill or sold on the world market for use by other mills.
The hot rolling process begins by reheating the previously created billets in our reheating furnace until they turn into a Mellable state. In this photo, the billets are entering the reheat furnace.

The reheated billets exit the reheat furnace and proceed to the rolling mills. Each rolling mill consists of a series of "stands", each containing a set of rollers that compress and lengthen the billets and then finish them into the desired shape (i.e., reinforcing bar, wire rod, one of the merchant shapes, etc). Water is used to keep the equipment from overheating.
HSE Germany has devoloped a unique Quenching and self tempering process that allowed rolling mills to produce low cost, high strength deformed quality bars which fully meet the demands of civil engineers of diffrent countries and is patented as THERMEX QST technology. The bar from the strands passes through the Turbo Quenching System to get the high quality TMT bars .
The formed product is transferred to the cooling bed where it is allowed to cool before it is cut and bundled. In this photo, you can see straight lengths of reinforcing bar cooling. Hot rebar arrives on the right from the rolling mill stands and cools as it progresses to the left.
The final bundled product is placed in warehouse and/or prepared for shipping. Most products are delivered as straight bars, however reinforcing bar can be delivered as straight bundles or coiled bundles.

Sterling Abtech Pipe Mill for Spiral Pipe Production ranging from 500 mm diameter to 3000 mm diameter up to 40 mm thickness of the material is being manufactured by us for our works.
Spiral Pipe Mill under installation at our works. Mumbai.
Sterling is in the process of API grade spiral and L saw pipe mill at Murbad Mumbai works. The size and range of pipes right from 500 MM diameter and 6 mm thickness up to 3000mm diameter and 40mm thickness. The project will be completed by end March, 2010. To complete the above project we have technical tie-up with M/s ABtech Machineries & Engineering Services Corporation, Philippines.
