Heavy plate for hydropower engineering

Penstock lines, bifurcations and spiral turbine casings – whatever the steel components you need for your hydropower plant, Dillinger will supply exactly the right heavy plate for it: in thicknesses up to above 200 millimetres, easy to work and weld, and with optimum durability.

Dillinger’s strengths in hydropower engineering

Despite their yield strengths of up to 690 MPa, our DI-MC and DILLIMAX thermomechanically rolled fine-grained structural steels possess outstanding toughness, resistance to brittle fracture and weldability.
DILLIMAX high-strength quenched and tempered fine-grained structural steels are much stronger still – with yield strengths of up to 690 MPa. Thanks to their optimised chemical composition, they are, nonetheless, extremely tough and easy to work and weld.
We can meet practically all conceivable additional specification requirements.
Dillinger plates can be supplied in bigger-than-average formats and dimensions, enabling you to fabricate even the largest components cost-efficiently.
Dillinger is a qualified producer with global references, a fact acknowledged by all important decision-makers.
We know from experience which components are needed in hydropower engineering, and we can semi-fabricate your heavy plate to meet your requirements if you wish – in the form, for example, of longitudinally welded pipe segments, edge-machined plates, flame-cut parts for turbine stay rings, or of sickle plates with improved deformation properties in the thickness direction.
