Revolutionary Endless Strip Production up to 20 mm – Precise and Uniform HSLA Steel (Room 207 D)

Increased quality demands for thick gauges of high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) (API) steels along the total strip length call for production in real endless operation. When it comes to ultrathin, high-quality strip, recent innovations enable manufacture in the range from 0.8 up to 20 mm in fully endless operation. The mechanical and material properties of HSLA (API) steels are reached by applying strict deformation and temperature control. Pass schedules and resulting metallurgical properties as well as specific technological solutions of reference plants will be discussed is this paper.
