Abstract: A device for attaching a line or wire cable to a connecting element includes an upper and a lower die that each has a press surface. At least one recess outside of the press surfaces is provided between the upper and the lower die that decreases the risk of damage to the dies should an erroneous attachment of the wire cable to the connecting element occur.

Abstract: A method for operating a change converter unit of an oxygen steel-making plant, in which, for the change process, a worn converter, including the entire converter unit, made up of not only the converter, but also the converter carriage, carrier ring, tilting drive, bottom flushing device and, if present, a carrier ring cooling device, is moved out of the steel-making stand into an empty delivery and waiting stand for repair, and, at the same time, a further structurally identical complete converter unit, made up of a repaired, ready-to-use converter, is moved from a further delivery and waiting stand into the steel-making stand.

Abstract: A disadvantage during the operation of a change converter unit (1) of an oxygen steel-making plant, wherein converters (4a) that have become unusable due to the wear and tear of the fireproof material are removed from the steel-making stand (2) for repair, and wherein a converter (4b) provided with fireproof material is added in exchange to the steel-making stand (2), is that the connection between the converter vessel and the carrier ring first must be separated, and then either a change carriage provided with a lifting device must be used, or the implementation is limited, or restricted, by the crane capacity when changing AOD converters in stainless steel plants.
