LSV Lech-Stahl Veredelung is a series supplier for what will be the world's largest offshore wind farm

The many Wind turbines on the North Sea coast have been showing for years, the energy transition is in full swing. LSV Lech-Stahl Veredel received a Project tender awarded to SCHAAF about two years ago GmbH & Co. KG from Erkelenz for the supply of screw steel. The LSV has been continuously increasing its market share in the field of Fasteners in wind turbine construction.

From the material 33MnCrB5-2 will be delivered to the customer Double-sided metric thread bolts sizes M48 to M72 which are used to connect the individual tower segments of the wind turbine. These threaded bolts are used during construction of the world's largest offshore wind farm in the North Sea after completion with a total area of approx. 1670 km² - divided into three construction phases. That The project is designed for the construction of 277 wind turbines with LSV bolt material. Each individual wind turbine is an impressive 260 meters high and each Rotor blade measures 107 meters in length. A single rotation of the rotor blades can be supply a household with clean electricity for about 2 days. The entire wind farm has the potential to provide renewable energy for approximately 6 million households in Great Britain.

Over it In addition, the LSV was built in parallel to the above-mentioned major project for the Bolt supply to another offshore wind farm before the US Coast nominated. The construction of another 65 wind turbines is planned here.

The Heat treatment of the materials is carried out on the inductive single-bar quenching and tempering system at the headquarters in Landsberg am Lech, the bright steel and Short-piece production is carried out at the Oberndorf am Lech site. Favored is cleared as a supplier for wind turbines through TPG certification (Transport and Power Generation), which LSV has been offering for the heat treatment.

Through the nomination in the project tenders, the LSV has strengthened its position as reliable partner of the wind power industry. In particular, the close professional exchange on questions of material selection and the many years of LSV's practical experience in induction heat treatment was Decision criteria for the customer. It is important to find the perfect combination of materials knowledge and technical precision.
