The paper presents the project of Nucor Steel–Arkansas’ new cold mill complex (high-performance push pickling line with inline skin pass mill, S6-high cold rolling mill, 4-high temper mill and a continuous galvanizing line) which is dedicated to produce the latest generation of AHSS for the car body. The project includes the complete equipment delivery with electrics and automation and the start-up of the lines.
