摘要

ThyssenKrupp's new stainless steel mill in the USA state of Alabama has gone into operation. Production has begun with one cold rolling mill. Cold-rolled capacity is initially 100,000 metric tons a year and will increase over time to a maximum 140,000 t/ year. The material now being produced is 1,600 mm wide (64 inches). Various units have gone into operation to produce and further process the cold-rolled strip, including a Sendzimir mill, a cold-rolled annealing and pickling line, a skin pass stand as well as finishing equipment such as coil polishing, slitting and cut-to-length lines.
