Arvedi ESP: Reaching Maturity in Endless Casting and Rolling Technology (Room 306)

07 May 19
10:00 AM - 10:30 AM

Tracks: Hot Sheet Rolling

Arvedi ESP is the first hot rolling process ever to produce cold-rolled substitutes in industrial scale, and a variety of final products are now produced directly from ESP hot band without implementing a cold rolling process. Energy consumption and related CO2 emissions are drastically reduced on the one hand by the compact layout of ESP lines, as well as by omitting subsequent cold rolling steps. Details of successful endless strip production, as well as new features under development for currently running projects, will be discussed in this paper.
