Latest results of Arvedi ISP technology and prospects for the new Arvedi ISP-ECR technolgoy?

摘要

In 1992 the first European Mini-Mill for flat products based on thin slabs was started with ISP technology at Arvedi's steel plant in Cremona, Italy. The design capacity of the ISP Single line plant was about 500000 t/year. Much work has been done to improve quality and productivity. In 2002, 840000 t of hot rolled coils will be produced. Performance data show average casting sequences of 11 heals. SEN clogging rate. >40 percent of total production in gauges <1.5 mm with a consistent rolling of mild steel in gauge 1.0 mm at full table width of 1 250 mm, rolls consumption and cobbles figures, etc. A wide variety of steel grades are manufactured such as low, medium and high carbon (up to 0,75 percent), HSLA with Nb, V and Ti, boron grades, weathering, alloyed and peritectic steels. Results of material tests by various European research institutes are also presented.
