Economical Production of High Quality Rods and Bars with the 3-roll RSB Technology

摘要

Under today's severe market conditions for wire rod and bar products competitive advantages can be gained only when operating highly performing equipment reaching the following objectives: * High product quality (tolerances, surfaces, mechanical properties) * High market flexibility (rolling of many different sizes and grades at short notice) * High mill economy (highest possible yield and mill availability as well as low operating costs thus reducing conversion costs) * Markedly lower costs for the downstream industry by means of reduced inventory and post-processing costs (for peeling, drawing, forging, heat treatment, etc.).
