COIL LINE ENGINEERED FOR CUSTOMER NEDS--New CTL operation provides high-yield-strength capacity, advanced flatness capability and rapid throughput

摘要

The urgency for weight reduction in rolling stock isn't exclusive to automakers. Non-automotive transportation is also committed to reducing weight, and high yield-strength steels that allow gauge reduction are finding applications in this market, as well. Trouble is, non-automotive transportation-truck bodies and trailers, rail-cars and off-road equipment-use heavier gauges than automotive, and processing these high-strength steels demands special equipment.
