Exclusive inter-stand heating keeps long casting products above 800°C, reducing cuts, material loss, and rolling defects.
Electric hot charging heats thick slabs uniformly before rolling, cutting fuel use, CO2 emissions, heating time, and scale formation.
Friction roller heating creates controlled temperature differences in dissimilar metal strips, cutting heat loss and energy use before rolling.
Electric full-surface heating uses residual casting heat to bring thick slabs to uniform hot-rolling temperature with lower energy use.
Induction edge heating, descaling, and a low-oxygen rolling atmosphere enable 0.3 mm hot-rolled steel strip with less scale and no pickling.
Pre-heating aluminum-based strip before rolling increases ductility, enabling larger thickness reduction with less cracking and faster production.
Pre-heating aluminum strip before rolling raises ductility, enabling larger thickness reduction with less cracking and better strip quality.
Protective-atmosphere induction heating and staged descaling enable 0.3 mm hot-rolled steel strip with minimal scale for direct coating.
A horizontally relocatable insulating hood cuts metal strip temperature loss while clearing space for maintenance and disruption recovery.
Dividing a hot-rolled plate at intermediate thickness and holding each section hot cuts heat loss, enabling thinner, longer plates with stable tolerances.
Interstand induction heating in a compact rolling train improves strip temperature control, saves floor space, and supports thin strip quality.
Mega-coil strip accumulation enables continuous hot rolling of thinner steel strip while reducing jamming risk and avoiding extra cold-rolling steps.
Mega-coil accumulation lets thin hot-rolled strip run continuously, cutting jamming risk and reducing reliance on cold-rolling.
A continuous casting plant uses a maintenance box furnace to store hot billets during rolling mill stoppages.
A continuous casting and rolling mill adjusts operating temperature during batch mode to enable semi-endless thin steel strip production.
Optimized furnace soaking times suppress thickness deviations in thin-walled seamless tubes.
