Startup of the revamped No. 2 continuous annealing line of Kawasaki Steel at Chiba

摘要

Kawasaki Steel Corporation carried out a modernization project at the Chiba Works No.2 continuous annealing line by linking the CAL with the existing skinpass mill and newly constructed facilities in the downstream area.Because the No.2 CAL and the skinpass mill are arranged in parallel, Kawasaki developed the world steel industry's first non-contact air floatation type strip turning device, called the "helical turner".
