Alro Slatina, one of the biggest aluminium companies in Romania and Europe is operating new Danieli homogenizing furnaces for the production of quality aluminium flat products at its site.
The Romanian plant uses Danieli Olivotto Ferrè's technology to homogenize slabs of aluminium alloys, treating slabs measuring 500x1,650 mm and up to 8 m long, with a total annual capacity of up to 24,000 tons/year. Heating and soaking in two homogenizing furnaces and cooling in a cooling chamber are performed in continuous mode.
Furnace equipment and process controls perform in automatic mode, in a controlled atmosphere, matching the stringent AMS 2750E standard for aerospace markets. The subsequent slab cooling treatment delivers perfect quality in terms of mechanical/metallurgical properties.
Excellent results achieved for 140-ton, 500x1,650x7,600-mm aluminium slabs include:
Fuel and power consumption during the cycle have been maintained under the specified limit. The plant is in industrial operation after a smooth commissioning sequence and final acceptance.
