Hydrogen Innovation

The new HyCAL line was developed and built by Ebner, the world leader in hydrogen annealing and heat treating equipment.  No one else in the world offers you this technology and in North America, HyCAL Corp. is the first to provide hydrogen continuous annealing.

Compared to traditional water quench lines, the HyCAL process of hydrogen annealing delivers dead flat, on spec material with consistent properties across the strip length and width, superior shape and cleaner surface. Even for martensite grades.

The infinitely adjustable, optimized blend of hydrogen used for quenching produces AHSS/UHSS grades with residual stress free prime yield and exceptional flatness.  No post CAL processing is required to correct shape, so no stresses are added to your coils.  Your material is ready to use right off the line.  Most definitely, a game changer.
