See photographs on page 4 Heating Type 001: E. Evertz himself wrapped the torch head with asbestos cloth in 1965 Igniting Type 001: Test in the Langenfeld plant Type 003 Scarfing machine with triple head See photographs on page 4 Type 004 Type 005 Scarfing machine with rectangular head Test reports by Dipl. Ing. Siegfried Stadler Scarfing machine with rectangular head adjustable for left- and right-side use A mobile oxygen plant and vaporizer provided sufficient and constant pressure Type 006 Scarfing machine without iron powder injection in use under practical production conditions Thanks to EVERTZ improvements, yield losses and energy consumption compared to the V11 (Messer Griesheim) type scarfing machines in operation and the Union Carbide machine could be dramatically reduced. See report and photograph on page 5 Type 007 Stationary automatic scarfing machine (1995) See photographs on pages 9-11 Type 008 Type 009 Stationary automatic scarfing machine with large torch (approx. 200 kg) Travelling automatic scarfing machine with regular (approx. 65 kg) or large torch (approx. 200 kg) See photographs on pages 12-14, for technical information see page 15 The present managing directors, Dipl.-Ing. Ralf Evertz and Dipl.-Oec. Stefan Evertz, were around from the very beginning. The two photos were taken almost 40 years ago. The EVERTZ scarfing machines were not sold on the market. Within the framework of complete scarfing service packages, the machines were operated by specially trained EVERTZ personnel. This service also included maintenance and repair and was paid on a price per square meter or tonne basis. Evertz guaranteed quality, performance and around-the-clock availability. The customer was relieved from the duty of keeping permanent stocks of spare parts, as EVERTZ kept the necessary inventories of spare modules or even complete replacement machines. Wherever costs play a role there was, and today there still is, no economic alterna- 2 3

Type 006 Egon Evertz K.G. 5650 Solingen On the occasion of the Poster Show at DUISBURGER ADJUSTAGETAGUNG (Finishing Technology Conference) on 7 and 8 March 1985 SURFACE TREATMENT MECHANICAL ENGINEERING The mechanical engineering division of Egon Evertz KG has for many years been dedicated to the solution of problems in connection with the surface treatment of ferrous and non-ferrous metals products. Due to our close relationship with the steel industry we have always obtained hands-on knowledge of the problems that are encountered by rolling mill and steelplant operators. Type 002 Type 003 Memorandum No. 75 Subject: Automatic scarfing Thanks to the development of a series of specialized scarfing, milling and grinding machines it is now possible to process the above mentioned products economically, efficiently and at a high quality level. These specialized surface conditioning tasks are performed at our own facilities or, on request, at our many customers sites domestic and internationally. Attached to this memo is a report by Dipl.-Ing. Stadler on scarfing tests performed on September 12, 1969. In this context I should like to refer to the confidential photocopies of a test report of December 5, 1968.... In any case we should pursue the development of a mechanized scarfing process using several burners with and without iron powder, like we developed about one-and-a-half years ago when we started our scarfing activities in Langenfeld and performed tests with a bundle of oxygen bottles. The lack of the necessary oxygen supply pressure of 15 atü at that time induced me to install... iron powder feeding. Scarfing machine during bloom treatment We would especially like to emphasize our expertise and capabilities in the surface treatment of high-quality, high-grade steel products. Our technicians are available at any time to answer your questions and provide advice. Sincerely, EGON EVERTZ KG (GmbH & Co.) Excerpt from a memo on scarfing tests performed in 1969 4 5

The scarfing demonstrations have been completed successfully. The machine is operated manually. Advantages: Best view of the torch and the slab; immediate recognition and removal of defects during the scarfing process. The operator can react immediately. Slabs of 90 t and above can be scarfed. We are constantly upgrading and improving our gas technology. In the case of upgrades and improvements the retrofitting of machines with older gas systems is guaranteed. Current investigations: e.g. impulse scarfing. For brown fume (FeO) reduction we offer our dedicated proprietary technology. See EVERTZ patents and descriptions, page 7.

Type 009 in action Scarfing widths from 100 mm to 450 mm. Reduced oxygen consumption to 2400 Nm/h Scarfed broad face of a slab Slab with scarfed broad face, including edge, and scarfed narrow face Slab with scarfed broad face, including edge, and scarfed narrow face 14 Type 009 in action Scarfed broad face of a slab Scarfed edge area of a slab Water-cooled torch with customized designs ensure long service live. Fast igniting through iron powder addition. Torch manipulation guarantees max. capacity and one time ignition. Minimal ridge between the scarfing cuts. Scale free surfaces thanks to a universal descaling system (proprietary process of EVERTZ-Hydrotechnik). Several selectable scarfing programmes with the same torch enabling among others the selection of the desired scarfing depth. Scarfing times Scarfing one broad face of an approx. 45 t slab, having a length of approx. 13 m, a width of 2000 mm and a thickness of 220 mm (= approx. 26 m2), takes approx. 6 minutes. Capacities Depending on the desired widths of the cut, capacities of more than 100.000 t per month are possible. 15
