Processes in the Metals Industry

Pioneering work and a good head start

When engineers in the early 1950s were looking for alternatives to the Siemens-Martin method and the Thomas method, little did they know that with the invention of the Linz-Donawitz (LD) method they would set off a revolution in steel manufacturing. Nowadays more than 60% of global steel production takes place using the LD method in plant, of which more than 30% were planned, built and commissioned by Siemens VAI.

The VAI engineers have constantly developed the system further and with the automation know-how gained from Siemens, the lead now held by the merged companies in the area of steel production is nigh unassailable. In the meantime, Siemens VAI has extended its market and technology leadership to include the entire range of converter methods, their upstream and downstream process steps as well as the electric steel production line.

Siemens VAI supplies the entire range of products, systems and processes for efficient and reliable steel production. From the expansion or modernization of individual parts of a system through to a complete new build in the framework of a turnkey project, Siemens VAI is opening up new horizons in the field of steel manufacturing.
