WMM' 20 - Invited speakers and special session

As part of WMM’20 conference, in the framework of the Plenary Session, the Organizing Committee has decided to include a “Special Theme Session” titled:
 “New Equipment and Technology for production of High Grade Non-Oriented Electrical Steel”

With rapid acceptance of electric vehicles using high grade electrical steels for the motors, together with new energy efficiency requirements for industrial electric motors, the interest by producers and consumers for the production and adoption of top quality grade NOES is significantly growing.

For this reason, we see a very major interest by many ES producers to upgrade both capacity as well as technology to manufacture high quality NGO grades and fulfill the more and more challenging users’ requirements. In parallel the Industrial Plant Equipment suppliers are working and investing in order to propose new technological solutions to fulfill ES producer’s needs.

The special session is designed to focus the state of art and innovative solutions to industrial manufacture high quality NGO grades along the main significant phases of their industrial production route.

The special Theme Session in WMM’20 will be approximately 2 ½ hours long, consisting of 5 presentations.
The process phases selected in this conference edition will follow the production sequence of:

• Continuous Casting and Hot Rolling
• Hot rolled coil annealing and pickling
• Cold Rolling
• Final Continuous Annealing
• Coating and Coating Equipment

Each presentation will be approximately of 25 minutes.
