La storia delle Acciaierie di Terni comincia negli ultimi decenni del 1800, quando, per supplire alle esigenze energetiche della Fabbrica d’Armi costruita alla periferia della città a partire dal 1881 e lo sviluppo delle più importanti imprese private come lo Jutificio Centurini, il Lanificio e la Fonderia, viene scavato nel 1879 il canale Nerino.
La realizzazione di quest’opera idrica, che rappresenta anche il primo intervento del genere destinato a scopi industriali in Italia, garantisce la condizioni ideali di disponibilità di forzamotrice per la nascita nel 1886 delle acciaierie di Terni.
La prima acciaieria d’Italia, ed il polo siderurgico che sorge intorno ad essa, imprime una trasformazione radicale tanto all’impianto urbanistico della città di Terni quanto a quello paesaggistico dell’intera valle.
La necessità di dare alloggio agli operai impiegati negli stabilimenti, infatti, determina la costruzione di unità abitative, edifici destinati a servizi e varie infrastrutture che aggiungono al nucleo storico della città di Terni ampi quartieri popolari. Pochi chilometri a monte lungo la valle del fiume Nera, inoltre, verranno imbrigliate le Cascate del Velino per generare energia elettrica in quella centrale di Galleto che nel 1929, anno d’inaugurazione, con una potenza stimata di oltre 250000 KW/h viene riconosciuta come la più grande e potente di tutt’Europa.
La città di Terni è quindi profondamente legata alla sua acciaieria, oggi controllata con la denominazione Acciai Speciali Terni o AST Terni dalla multinazionale tedesca ThyssenKrupp, sia per motivi storici sia per l’impatto sull’economia e sul mercato del lavoro nella zona.
Non a caso nel febbraio 2004, per salvare gli impianti destinati alla produzione del magnetico ed i relativi posti di lavoro, sono scesi in piazza oltre 25000 cittadini accompagnati dalle più alte cariche politiche del paese.
Oggi lo stabilemento è considerato all’avanguardia per la produzione di metalli speciali tanto che la stessa ThyssenKrupp Stainless, che ha l’intenzione di dismettere il comparto magnetico dell’acciaieria dichiara nel suo sito intenet:
“La ThyssenKrupp Acciai Speciali Terni si colloca tra i primi produttori mondiali di piani inossidabili e magnetici e si qualifica, con la sua ormai centennale esperienza, come Gruppo di dimensioni mondiali per l’impiantistica moderna e sofisticata, per le innovazioni tecnologiche e produttive, per il rigoroso controllo della qualità che garantisce un elevato livello dell’intera produzione, per l’accurata assistenza tecnica alla clientela, per il volume e l’estensione degli scambi commerciali, per i risultati della ricerca metallurgica sviluppata in collaborazione con il Centro Sviluppo Materiali.”
E relativamente all’acciaio magnetico:
” La ThyssenKrupp Acciai Speciali Terni svolge un ruolo prominente nel campo degli acciai al silicio destinati alle applicazioni elettriche. In questo settore la Società è in grado di offrire prodotti di alta qualità, che soddisfano le più svariate esigenze. La gamma comprende i lamierini a grano orientato convenzionale e i lamierini ad alta permeabilità. Questi prodotti, utilizzati per trasformatori di potenza e distribuzione, consentono tutte le possibili applicazioni per le quali sono richieste elevate caratteristiche magnetiche con orientamento preferenziale. La qualità è garantita da modalità di collaudo conformi alle più importanti Norme Internazionali, e la costanza delle proprietà magnetiche viene assicurata dal loro rilevamento continuo on line. Il costante e consolidato impegno nelle attività di ricerca e sviluppo con il Centro Sviluppo Materiali hanno permesso di sviluppare un processo con elevato grado di know-how tecnico e prodotti con performances in termini di qualità magnetica tra le migliori presenti sul mercato…”
The history of the Terni Steelworks begins in the last decades of 1800’s, when, in order to make up for the energetic needs of the Arms Factory, erected on the outskirts of the town from 1881 and the development of the most important private enterprises, such as the iuta factory “Centurini”, the wooden factory and the foundry, was the channel “Nerino” eroded in 1879.
The carrying out of this waterworks, which represents the first intervention of this kind destined to industrial purposes in Italy, guarantees the ideal conditions of the supply of motive power, for the following birth of the Terni steel plant in 1886.
The first steel plant in Italy, and the ironworks, which grows up around it, causes a radical transformation to the urban plant of the city, but also to the landscape of the entire valley.
The necessity to accommodate the factory workers, in fact, determines the building of many new habitations, structures for social services, and other infrastructures, which add a large number of working-class neighbourhoods in the historic centre of Terni.
Few kilometres upstream along the valley of Nera river, moreover, the Velino Falls are harnessed, so as to generate electrical energy in the central of Galleto that, in 1929, the year of its inauguration, with an estimated power of more than 250000 KW/h, it is considered as the bigger and most powerful one of the whole Europe.
The town of Terni, in this way, is deeply attached to its steel plant, which nowadays, with the denomination of Acciai Speciali Terni o AST Terni, is controlled by the German multinational ThyssenKrupp, whether for historical causes, or for the impact on the economy and the work market of that area.
Not casually in the February of 2004, in order to save the plants for the magnetic production and the relevant jobs, more than 25’000 citizens came out into the streets accompanied by the most important politics persons of the country.
Nowadays the plant is considered to be in the lead in the specific metal production so that the ThyssenKrupp Stainless, which wants to cast off the magnetic section of the steel plant, declares in its web site:
“ThyssenKrupp Acciai Speciali Terni is among the first world manufacturing of stainless and magnetic planes, with its centennial experience, as world dimension Group for the modern and advanced plant engineering, the technological and productive innovations, the rigorous quality control that guaranties a whole production of high level, the scrupulous technical assistance to the customers, the volume and extension of the trade, the results of the metallurgic research developed in collaboration with the Material Development Centre.”
Besides, concerning the magnetic steel:
“ThyssenKrupp Acciai Speciali Terni has a prominent role in the field of the silicon steels for the electrical applications. In this sector the Enterprise is able to offer high quality products, that satisfy the most various demands. The range is including of the conventional oriented grain sheets and the high permeability sheets. Such products, used for power and distribution transformers, allow all the possible applications for which are requested elevated magnetic features with preferential orientation. The quality is guarantied by testing methods in conformity with the most important International Rules, and the immutability of the magnetic properties is guaranteed by their constant on line survey. The constant and settled care in the research and development activities with the Material Development Centre, made possible to develop a high technical know-how process and products with some of the best performances, in terms of magnetic quality, that are in the market…”
