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.
