MODULAR SOLUTIONS FOR HEAVY PLATE FABRICATION The Hussein Mosque in Cairo (Erection of the dome made of spherical segments ID 12.500 mm x 25 mm, Steel grade ST 52-3 to DIN 17100) 4
Anyone believing that the elegant dome of the Hussein Mosque in Cairo is a work of ancient Oriental craftsmanship would be wrong. The roof structure is, on the contrary, a product of the modern world: a 23 ton multisegment hemisphere construction made of steel plates, manufactured in the Heavy Fabrication Division of Dillinger Hütte GTS. It's a thin line between architecture and art: the "Serpentine" (cf. page 38) sculpture created by the American artist Richard Serra for the city of San Francisco was also produced by the Heavy Fabrication Division: Mr. Serra has been using the steel production facilities in Dillingen for several years. And where technology is concerned, Dillinger Hütte GTS is reaching for the skies: When the Ariane V takes off from the Kourou space centre in French- Guyana, a part of Saar-made metallurgy also goes into orbit. The starter material for the booster domes, forging grade ingots made of a special alloy from the Saarstahl AG, is rolled out to 16 ton circular blanks in the Dillinger plate mill and subsequently processed into dished heads. Naturally our employees are not always involved in such spectacular contracts. These examples do demonstrate the extensive capabilities of the Heavy Fabrication Division, the essential aspect of which remains the processing of heavy steel plates. However, we ourselves are not fabricators of finished equipment; we prefer to view ourselves as service-providers to the manufacturers of equipment involved in heavy engineering. Much of the material coming out of Dillinger Hütte GTS is unusual: sometimes it's the dimensions of the plates (in most cases the thickness or the width), and other times it's the mechanical properties of the plates. And often it's both. Not all manufacturers of structural steel constructions, pressure vessels or heavy apparatus want 5 to process such plates completely on their own. We know our plate material best of all and we also have the necessary equipment available to process these heavy und thick plates. This is why we offer to take care of the difficult first stages of the processing and supply prefabricated structural components instead of just heavy plates. The scope of products and services of the Heavy Fabrication Division is set out on the following pages; it includes modular heavy plate components, designed for specific fields of application. Our comprehensive range is the result of long years of experience in cooperating with steel plate fabricators. But don't take this as our final word on the subject: if you do have a special project or unique requirements such as the three examples cited above, we will provide you, on an individual basis, with exactly the same service as offered to architects, artists and space engineers.
