Fives SAS

Fives is proud to design and supply the steel industry’s most cost-effective and eco-friendly walking beam furnace for the reheating of slabs, beam blanks, blooms and billets: Stein Digit@l Furnace®.

Fives developed the NeoKoil® strip processing lines for carbon steels: continuous annealing and galvanizing lines (CAL, CGL, CAGL) to produce different steel grades, including AHSS and UHSS; continuous galvanizing lines (CGL) with horizontal furnaces to produce steel grades from building to automotive applications quality; a variety of strip coating lines, including combined galvanizing & painting lines (CGPL) dedicated to the automotive, construction, home appliances, white goods, food and packaging applications.

For stainless steel: hot & cold annealing and pickling lines (HAPL, CAPL), bright annealing lines (BAL) and induction bright annealing lines (I-BAL). For silicon steel: annealing & pickling lines (APL) and annealing & coating lines (ACL) for NGO grades, and decarburizing & coating lines (DCL) and flattening & coating lines (FCL) for GO grades.

Fives also provides a wide range of assistance in grade development, process and quality improvement to reach steel process optimization and operational excellence in terms of the lowest cost of operation, highest quality steel grades and best route to market.

CELES EcoTransFlux™ is a proven solution to meet annealing process criteria for new automotive steel grades. It is designed for rapid heating cycles to produce the 3rd generation of steel grades:
