The voestalpine foundry group, operating at locations in Linz and Traisen, Austria, specializes in heavy steel casting components ranging from 1 to 200 tons for power generation, oil and gas, chemical processing, and offshore applications. Their manufacturing expertise encompasses high-alloyed martensitic 9-12% Cr-steels and nickel-based Alloy 625, particularly for ultra-supercritical (USC) and advanced USC power generation systems operating at temperatures from 600°C to over 700°C. The production of these complex, thick-walled components relies on advanced thermodynamic calculation and simulation for all thermal processes, from material development through final casting. The foundries’ comprehensive capabilities include specialized melting, molding, heat treatment, non-destructive testing, and fabrication welding, with particular emphasis on joining dissimilar cast, forged, and rolled materials. Looking toward future innovations, the group is exploring additive manufacturing for mold production and robotic welding systems to enhance shaping and surface finishing capabilities.
