Steel Division

Heads and cones

Successful throughout the world

Our boiler bottoms are used in heat exchangers, separators, columns, compressors, storage tanks and tank railcars. Our customers are found in the petrochemical industry, the oil and gas industry, the pulp and paper industry, the energy sector and in railcar construction. We are the world's only single-source supplier of shell plates, heads and cones made of carbon steel or in clad design.

Our materials

We use structural, fine-grained structural and pressure vessel steels in our carbon-steel heads and pressed parts.

We manufacture clad heads and pressed parts from conventional carbon steels. We offer stainless and heat-resistant steel grades as well as non-ferrous metals and alloys as coating materials to attain optimum corrosion properties.

Head shapes and dimensions

We produce heads welded in one or more parts according to customer specification. Multi-part cones are available with base thicknesses of up to 170 mm and diameters of up to 12,000 mm.

voestalpine High-quality package

A high-quality package

We are a single-source supplier of shell plates, heads and cones made of plain carbon steel, in roll-bonded clad design and for sour service. 

Reduce the wall thickness of your componens by using our high-strength CrMo and CrMoV steel und chose your ideal plates dimension up to 200 mm in thickness and 24 tons per plate.

 

Cryogenic nickel plates

We offer 5%- and 9%-nickel steels according to EN 10028-4 and ASTM 553 in plate thickness range up to 70 mm, width up to 3,800 mm, length up to 12,700 mm and up to 13 tons per single plate. 

The revision of API Standard 620 in 2018 has made it possible to use ASTM steel grades A 645 Gr A and Gr B for the construction of ethylene, LPG or LNG tanks. Our state-of-the-art production facilities make it possible for us to manufacture both steel grades A 645 Gr A and Gr B as well as conventional 5% and 9% nickel steels.

voestalpine unsere Antwort auf Korrosion

Our answer to corrosion

Clad plates are the economic alternative to expensive high-alloy and non-clad plates. Roll-bonded clad plates are our answer to corrosion and explosion. 

With a cladding capacity of 60,000 tons a year, we are World´s leading producer of roll-bonded clad plates.

Broad range of expertise

We supply steel plates and material expertise for the penstocks of hydro-power stations and provide high-strength heavy plates as fine-grained steels with a minimum yield strength of 700 MPa in TMCP, direct-quenched and tempered or quenched and tempered condition. 

In a first-time application of high-strength TMCP steel, special-grade alform plate 700 M of voestalpine was successfully used in the penstock of the Reisseck pumped-storage hydro-power station in Austria.
