Thin Slab Process Developments
Every final product has a carbon footprint, which is dominated by raw materials and production processes. The steel industry is looking to minimize its carbon footprint by self-defining reasons not only for environmental aspects, but also to cut own energy costs. Significant results were reached by optimizing each process step and in trying to link process steps. The Arvedi Endless Strip Production (ESP) technology reduces energy consumption for hot rolling by using advantages of the fully endless production process. It is possible to gain even higher energy reductions by either completely cutting the production route of cold rolling and annealing processes, or by optimized combination of them. This approach is leading to new production processes and concepts. This paper gives an overview of different processes and energy-saving potentials.
