CLOSE ACQUAINTANCE WITH CUSTOMERS

We involve ourselves with our customer’s requirements so precisely that we can immediately respond with solution tailored to their need.

EFFICIENT SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS

Economic viability, combined with reliable quality, has always enjoyed the right priority in our shop.

INTERNATIONAL LINKS

IGH activities abroad are based on a sound market knowledge. We are already in business in Europe, Middle East, South East Asia, Japan and India since many years.

THE MOST UP-TO-DATE PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY

Computer software optimises development work and monitors and control fabrication in the course of 'lean production'.

STEEL PLANT TECHNOLOGY 

Modern technology has revolutionised steel product. IGH recognised these trends at an early stage and applied them to design and fabrication practice.

In determining the basic configuration of converter required detail studies must be made effective diameter and effective height, optimum volume, depth and surface area. Converter can be furnished with fixed or detachable bottom.

The welded converter shell is supported on trunnion ring bearings and provided with electric drives for tilting it into the various positions required for charging of hot metal, scrap, fluxes, alloys, oxygen top blowing, deslagging, sampling and testing.

To ensure satisfactory operation, the vessel must be capable of being tilted through 360 ° in either direction.

- Converter units (small, medium and large sizes)

- Different blowing process (Combined blowing)

- Vessel mounting (Simple, reliable, faultless and low maintenance)

- Slag retain device

- Automatic process control (Level I and Level II) 

Nowadays Computer-assisted simulation programs provide a secured data base for reliable design, specifications and therefore guarantee a loading on the each part. The development of these new meltdown and material techniques has stimulated a requirement for quality steel especially stainless steel, which can withstand higher and higher loading and sophisticated applications. These steel require metallurgical post treatment which cannot be undertaken in a conventional arc furnace route. For this reason IGH have committed itself for several years before to install secondary refining unit to compete in the international market.

The result of the most up-to-date steel technology is the production of high-tensile and high-alloy steels with levels of purity approaching nearly 100 % and with extremely low sulphur, low tramp elements, gas concentration and reduced inclusion which is known as clean steel.

DEVELOPMENT TO COMMISSIONING, OPERATION, FINISHING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

As a consequence of the fact that our specialists have extensive special knowledge available to them in stainless steel metallurgy, foundry technology, engineering and welding technology, we are always in a position to find new, more advantageous solution for our customer throughout the world.

The design drawing accompanies the mild steel, low alloy and stainless steel products to be produced at all stages through the various departments:

• feasibility study
• engineering services
• planning, design drawings for construction, manufacturing and put into operation
• melting process: in the arc furnace, converter and casting / rolling technology
• process know-how for Stainless and high alloy steel
• Erection, dismantling, supervision services, training and technical assistance
• development of new steel grades for the application of turbine, high temperature resistant steel, aircraft, off-shore and nuclear application.

QUALITY ASSURANCE FOR CAST STEEL CERTIFIED

IN ACCORDANCE WITH DIN ISO 9002

The ability to compete internationally requires a high level of responsibility with regard to quality in all companies shops and departments. Our quality-orientated goal is "Maximum customer satisfaction through IGH steel products with maximum quality and  reliability".

The result of our way of thinking and acting with regard to quality was officially recognised on 15. 12. 1993 through the certification that our quality assurance system for manufacturing steel products complies with the stringent standards DIN/ISO 9002 and EN 29002.
