She successfully completed her training. She then worked in various production sections, completed an ultrasound course, and in December 2006 became a Day Shift Supervisor in the heat treatment shop. A total of 64 employees work in the heat treatment shop and the continuous fl ow plant, which together form one department; Jennifer Schneider works with a team of fi ve on the day shift, all men aged between 21 and 64. “I have learnt to assert myself”, she says with a smile. She was the only girl on her training course as well. That is changing too. “More girls have started training at Buderus Edelstahl in recent years”, says General Foreman Dieter Waßmuth, Ms. Schneider’s boss. He approves, and she has proved that a woman can do the job as well as a man. For some time the Böhler-Uddeholm AG Management Academy (BUMA) has been running one of the two parts of its management succession and middle management training course at the Hotel Mercure in Wetzlar. One fi xture is always a works tour of the Wetzlar location with Buderus Edelstahl GmbH and its sister companies. The international participants from the very diverse companies of the four divisions of the Böhler-Uddeholm Group, some of whom are visiting Europe for the fi rst time, are thus able to form their own impression of steelmaking with ingots weighing up to 150 tonnes, of the open-die forging and rolling processes, and closeddie forging. There was also a visit to the heat treatment area necessary for special steel production, and to the machine shop. In addition to the works tour with expert commentary by Dr Frank Hippenstiel (Qual- “A woman in the team improves the climate and morale”, he admits with a laugh. “The style becomes gentler, which the whole team benefi ts from.” So Dieter Waßmuth was pleased to comply when the General Manager Ralf Rech proposed Jennifer Schneider for the job a year ago. Responsible task When the forge has presented the various heat treatment sequences it requires for the day, Ms. Schneider starts her round, checks and documents the temperatures of the furnaces, discusses things with her team, and stipulates when and how the next work steps are to proceed. A responsible job. It is precise heat treatment that makes steel a high-quality product, enabling it to acquire the critical factors Böhler-Uddeholm Management Academy Stage 1 visits Buderus Edelstahl ity Assurance) and Norman Geisse (Human Resources), the participants could pose special questions about Buderus Edelstahl Group photo of the BUMA participants Employees such as elongation, yield resistance and strength. Jennifer Schneider has not regretted her choice of career. From the start it has been interesting and exciting, she reports. And the future? She unfortunately had to abandon her plan to visit engineering school to advance her career and learn more, because of lack of time – she also works every other weekend, and there is a lot to learn in addition to the working and training time. But she has still not given up the idea. “I fi rst have to make the space for it”, she thinks, “then I will have another go.” At the moment she is concentrating fully on her current task, because “I very much enjoy the work and dealing with people”. in the course of an evening event after a presentation on the history and products of the location.

The example of components such as generator shafts and turbine shafts, and bottom moulds were used to illustrate the demands on heavy open-die forgings. The principal focus in terms of material is on adjusting particular functional properties in terms of strength, toughness and (if applicable) creep characteristics, and on ensuring further processing characteristics such as machining or etch-grainability in the case of large plastic moulds. Developments in the fi eld of plant engineering, which are partly being driven forward jointly with the IBF, are leading to an increase in production constancy (quality), to increased output (productivity), and to better environmental compatibility. The audience could clearly see that although open-die forging is one of the oldest production processes in the world, no power could be generated without these heavy open-die forgings. Many other heavy machinery functions could not operate without them. It also became evident that there is still a great need for research, for example in the fi eld of process simulation.
