Engineering Thermal Resilience in Extreme Environments

Modern steelmaking operations, whether utilizing a Blast Furnace (BF) or an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF), subject internal components to extreme thermal loads, mechanical fatigue, and aggressive chemical environments. To ensure continuous uptime and structural integrity, steel plants rely heavily on precision-engineered copper cooling plates, furnace roof water jackets, and cooling staves. At Akyavuz Endüstri, located in the industrial heart of Kocaeli / Kartepe, Turkey, we specialize in the heavy machining and custom fabrication of these mission-critical components for global steel producers and OEM furnace builders.

Advanced Manufacturing and CNC Deep Hole Gun Drilling

The operational efficiency of a water-cooled copper element depends entirely on its internal fluid dynamics and heat transfer coefficients. High-purity forged or cast copper alloys demand rigorous manufacturing protocols. Our facility leverages state-of-the-art CNC deep hole gun drilling to create complex, elongated cooling channels within thick copper bodies with exceptional straightness and positional accuracy. Maintaining strict tolerance control during deep-hole drilling prevents hot spots and premature localized failure inside the furnace vessel.

Our comprehensive production workflow encompasses several advanced industrial processes:

  • Heavy gantry milling and CNC horizontal boring for precise mating surfaces and overall dimensional compliance.
  • High-precision turning for circular or contoured geometry elements.
  • Controlled thermal stress relieving to eliminate residual stresses introduced during rolling, casting, or heavy machining.
  • Rigorous non-destructive testing (NDT), including ultrasonic testing and hydrostatic pressure testing, to guarantee leak-free operation under high-pressure water circuits.
  • Advanced CMM inspection to verify that every critical tolerance aligns with exact engineering specifications.
