Rolling and Coiling Technology for the Production of Thin Strip on a Casting Roiling Line

摘要

One aim of the casting rolling plant is the production of hot strip with low thicknesses [1], Results form an ECSC project [2], dealing with the introduction and optimisation of the new rolling and coiling technology for thin strip production at ThyssenKrupp Stahl are presented. Several series of hot rolling with different mild steels were performed. The strips were produced by two-step (ferritic) rolling, as well as by austenitic rolling. In both cases direct application and hot-dip galvanising of the strips were tested. The thinnest strip thickness achievable was 0.8 mm. industrial trials were also carried out successfully with HSLA and dual phase steels.
