That something is zenon. Our HMI/SCADA system is a truly universal tool, a fact that is borne out by the stories in our reference brochure. But that‘s not all … zenon is not only a system suited to a wide range of different requirements, it also combines all manner of different functions in a single tool and in one single develop- ment environment. zenon can be used for many different tasks such as control and visualization, communicating and exchanging data with other applications and monito- ring plant operation as well as an optimization tool to increase plant productivity and efficiency. All of this can be done with just a few mouse clicks. zenon will run on any of the current Windows operating systems. In combination with zenon, straton provides a fully-integrated soft PLC and SCADA logic system that interfaces with virtually any hardware. It supports over 300 communication protocols as standard, and our engineers will write additional protocols on request at any time. zenon also exchanges data with other applications and links directly to the ERP level. All this, needless to say, is carried out on a network, configured for multi-user operati- on, across all departments in a company, and conforms to the US FDA 21 CFR Part 11 standard. As for configuring zenon… well, all it takes is a few minutes and a few clicks of the mouse. As you can see in our Reference Brochure zenon has been deployed in a wide variety of applications in a large number of different industries. You will see zenon being used for control and visualization, often with multiple monitors. You will also see zenon being used for plant analysis and optimization. All of these applications use many different interfaces and communication protocols. The common factor in all of these applications is the ease of use and deployment even for very complicated and complex systems. We would like to thank each of our customers who have participated in sharing their experiences of zenon with us. Welcome to the world of zenon.

When steels cool from a high temperature, austenite transforms into other phase configurations according to the austenite composition and cooling rate. As result of phase transformation, the steel crystal structure and, consequently, both the shape and the lattice parameter of the unit cell, change.

  • Plasma Nitriding of a Precipitation Hardening Stainless Steel to Improve Erosion and Corrosion Resistance1
    PLASMA NITRIDING OF A PRECIPITATION HARDENING STAINLESS STEEL TO IMPROVE EROSION AND CORROSION RESISTANCE1 Amado Cabo2 Sonia P. Brühl3 Laura S. Vaca4 Raúl Charadia5 Eugenia L. Dalibón6 Abstract Precipitation hardening stainless steels are used as structural materials in the aircraft and the chemical industry because of their good combination of mechanical and corrosion properties. The aim of this work is to analyze the structural changes produced by plasma nitriding in the near surface of Thyroplast PH X Supra®, a PH stainless steel from ThyssenKrupp, and to study the effect of nitriding parameters in wear and corrosion resistance. Samples were first aged and then nitriding was carried out in an industrial facility at two temperatures, with two different nitrogen partial pressures in the gas mixture. After nitriding, samples were cut, polished, mounted in resin and etched with Vilella reagent to reveal the nitrided case. Nitrided structure was also analyzed with XRD. Erosion/Corrosion was tested against sea water and sand flux, and corrosion in a salt spray fog (ASTM B117). All nitrided samples presented high hardness. Samples nitrided at 390ºC with different nitrogen partial pressure showed similar erosion resistance against water and sand flux. The erosion resistance of the nitrided samples at 500ºC was the highest and XRD revealed nitrides. Corrosion resistance, on the contrary, was diminished; the samples suffered of general corrosion during the salt spray fog test. Keywords: PH stainless steel; Plasma nitriding; Corrosion. 1.

  • Energy Efficiency and Advanced Technologies in the Iron and Steel Industry
    ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES IN THE IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY Ernst Worrell, Department of Science, Technology & Society, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands Curtis Moore, Curtis Moore and Associates, McLean, Virginia, USA ABSTRACT The iron and steel industry is one of the largest energy-consuming and energy-intensive industrial sectors in the world. In the U.S. it consumes approximately 8% oftotal manufacturing energy consumption. The development of energy efficiency and penetration rate of various technologies, e.g. BOF steelmaking and continuous casting is discussed and compared. Between 1980 and 1991 energy intensity of the US steel industry has declined by 17%, of which 11 %-points are due to efficiency improvements. Considerable potential for energy efficiency improve­ ment can be realized by applying currently best available technology (the so-called 'technical potential'). For the US the technical potential is estimated to be 43±8%, taking the current industrial structure (mix of raw materials used and products produced) into account and the best available technology. The economically profitable potential is estimated to be 1O-15%-points lower. The potential for energy efficiency improvement in the U.S. is higher than that in other DECO countries, despite the improvements since 1980. Advanced technologies, such as smelt reduction and near net shape casting, present major opportunities for further reduction in energy consump­ tion at potentially lower costs, as well as environmental benefits. Thin slab casting has first been introduced in the U.S. by mini-mills to compete on the steel sheet markets. Since the first commercial introduction in 1989 the technology has shown rapid development and capacity growth.
