Focus Area

• Strategic Metallurgy & Process Development

Short Description

For this project, qoncept conducted an on-site fact-finding mission to assess the readiness of an integrated steel plant for the production of advanced alloyed materials. The evaluation covered the entire process chain, including melting, casting, forging, rolling, and remelting operations. Particular focus was placed on the alignment between equipment, process design, and product requirements. The analysis identified key challenges in achieving consistent product quality and process stability, especially when applying high-complexity alloys in a high-throughput production environment. Additional aspects included the feasibility of producing forged and remelted components, as well as the current level of process control in secondary and special metallurgy. The results form the basis for a structured roadmap aimed at stabilizing existing production routes and preparing the facility for the reliable manufacture of advanced materials.
