ITG delivers advanced single-bar induction quench and temper systems to Georgsmarienhütte, reinforcing process quality, efficiency and transparency.

The Q&T systems EVA I and EVA II improve energy efficiency, reduce CO₂ emissions and comply with leading automotive and heat‑treatment standards.

Hirschhorn, Germany – ITG Induktionsanlagen has supplied two advanced single‑bar induction quench and temper systems, EVA I and EVA II, to Georgsmarienhütte (GMH). Designed for bar diameters from 20 to 100 mm, the systems provide more than 35,000 tonnes of annual heat‑treatment capacity. The markedly reduced dimensional distortion achieved during heat treatment minimises or eliminates straightening, lowering operational costs. Full Level‑2 integration enables real‑time data exchange and complete traceability of every bar, ensuring compliance with AIAG CQI‑9 and ASTM A1100.

The centralised control‑room architecture minimises manual intervention and increases operational stability, while fully digitalised workstations improve transparency and ergonomics. ITG executed the project as general contractor together with selected partners from Germany and Austria, including peripheral systems such as quench‑medium cooling, electrical cooling, cooling tower and air‑extraction and purification systems with integrated fire protection.

Due to the spatial constraints of this brownfield project, detailed engineering coordination was essential. Through close collaboration between ITG and GMH, the systems were optimally integrated into the existing infrastructure. EVA I and EVA II mark an important milestone in GMH’s technological roadmap towards climate‑neutral production by 2039.
