New Finishing Mill Technology for the Production of Thin Hot Band (Room 306)

06 May 19

Tracks: Hot Sheet Rolling

The demands related to the capabilities of a conventional hot strip mill have changed in the last several years. In addition to a high level of productivity, the demand for quality improvement and extension of product mix arises. In order to meet these trends, new mill stand technology allows producers to adapt the last finishing mill stand by efficiently switching from a 4-high mode to a 6-high mode with small work roll diameter based on production needs. A smaller work roll diameter allows for higher reductions, resulting in thinner hot-strip gauges with metallurgical benefits.
