Competences & Values

We guarantee maximum consistency of mechanical properties, metallurgical structure, geometry and surface quality by bringing the entire value-added chain from our steel through rolled wire to drawn wire under one roof. That focus on quality supported by digital tools enables us to achieve maximum cost efficiency for our customers. Certification to ISO 9001, 14001, 18001, 50001 and IATF 16949 demonstrates our commitment to Performance in Quality.

Bespoke subsequent processing

The chemical composition of our steels does not define all of a product's properties. In many cases, the products require extensive subsequent processing stages to optimise their characteristics either for use or processing. In that connection we are guided by your wishes and requirements.

In the rolling process we utilise the following methods:

Stelmor cooling (fast cooling, standard cooling, active slow cooling)

Thermomechanical rolling

Bainitic transformations from the rolling heat

Water cooling on the Garrett line

In the drawing shops we have a large number of other processes available according to diameter, which are performed open to air or under inert gases:

Annealing to spheroidal cementite (+AC)

Tempering

Soft annealing

Annealing to specified strength/hardness

Homogenising (>1100 °C) for segregation conditioning

Homogenising (>550 °C) for surface transformation

Stress relieving

We are constantly developing new solutions for surface treatments. Our ambition is to produce carbon-neutral coatings for all application scenarios. To that end we maintain close development partnerships with private and public-sector research establishments.

For drawing stock we offer the following options for best-possible surface qualities:

Hard-rolled for mechanical or chemical de-scaling

Pickled

Phosphatised

Phosphate-free

Limed, soaped, polymer-coated

To ensure the quality of the drawing stock surface, we maintain a fully automated high-rise racking warehouse. In that way we can reduce the risk of mechanical damage, corrosion spots, securing and simplifying transport logistics.

The range of drawn wires is diverse and follows the requirements of subsequent wire use:

Pickled

Phosphatised

Phosphate-free

Limed, soaped, polymer-coated

Copper, brass, nickel and zinc-based galvanic and chemical coatings

Hot-dip galvanising

ISO 9001 (Quality Management)

ISO 14001 (Environmental Management)

OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health & Safety)

ISO/IEC 17025 (Testing Laboratories)

ISO 45001 (Health & Safety Management)

ISO 50001 (Energy Management)

EMAS III (EU Environmental Audit) audited

For our customers in the automotive sector, we are certified to IATF 16949 (automotive industry quality management systems).In addition, we hold many other specific individual certificates (for particular products or countries), e.g. GL, DNV, etc.

Planned Quality

Our company is a professional manufacturer focusing on the production of Cold Heading Wire, Flat and Shaped Wire, Spring Steel Wire, and Free Cutting Steel. In every production link of the product, we strictly follow the "Planned Quality" concept to ensure the excellence and stability of product quality.

"Planned Quality" is not just a slogan in our company, but a core principle throughout the entire production process. From the procurement of raw materials to the setting of the production line, from the careful planning of product design to the strict control of the manufacturing process, every step is carefully planned and precisely monitored. We use advanced cold drawing and cold rolling technology, combined with strict quality control standards, to ensure that the steel wire products produced have uniform size, excellent mechanical properties and excellent surface quality.

We are committed to meeting customers' demand for high-quality steel wire products, while continuously optimizing the production process, improving production efficiency, reducing costs, and providing customers with more competitive prices. We firmly believe that through continuous efforts and innovation, we can provide customers with the best quality steel wire products and jointly promote the development of the industry.

In this particular area we rely on the use of optical testing methods and artificial intelligence. It starts right from the rolling of the billets, continues with the precise measurement of the billet geometry in the hot-rolling mill, the documentation of the surface condition and the optical testing along the production line. At critical points, the system is supported by thermography or eddy current testing.

Methods employed along the value-added chain include:

Thermography

Eddy-current testing

Optical testing assisted by AI

Acoustic testing assisted by AI

In the drawing shops we have a large number of other processes available according to diameter, which are performed open to air or under inert gases:

Annealing to spheroidal cementite (+AC)

Tempering

Soft annealing

Annealing to specified strength/hardness

Homogenising (>1100 °C) for segregation conditioning

Homogenising (>550 °C) for surface transformation

Stress relieving

Internal flaw tests are carried out on billets to verify core density and absence of cracking.

In-line ultrasonic testing

Ultrasound immersion testing for critical materials

Manual testing for final verification

For dimension checks we rely on laser and optical spectrometry. The testing parameters applied are diameter, ovality, angular offset in the case of rectangular cross-sections, and evenness in the case of surface-textured products.

To be able to offer the highest standards of laboratory testing, we have established centralised, accredited (EN ISO/IEC 17025) laboratories which are available both for production approvals and stress-proof test results in research programmes.

The list of laboratory tests covers a wide range:

Optical microscopy examinations (available at all our sites)

Tensile tests (available at all our sites)

Scanning electron microscope examinations for microstructure assessments, phase analyses, element analyses, lattice orientation, slag charts and much more

Dilatometer examinations as the basis for optimised heat treatments

Physical testing on a thermal-mechanical testing device (temperature, tension/compression. torsion)

And much more

The operational optimum is constantly sought by round robin testing for all testing equipment. Comparative testing with the nearby universities provides a juxtapose with other state-of-the-art technologies.
