Objective This project is intended to examine metallurgical aspects of thin slab rolling with application to direct hot rolling, thus avoiding reheating and roughing. The new route will result in less micro-segregation and a new distribution of elements which will be kept in solution, requiring optimisation of steel chemistry and rolling schedules. Programme(s) ECSC-STEELRES 8C - Medium-term guidelines (ECSC) for the programmes of technical steel research and of steel pilot/demonstration projects, 1991-1995 Topic(s) D3 - Physical metallurgy of rolling and finishing Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator CENTRE DE RECHERCHES METALLURGIQUES EU contribution No data Address Rue Ernest Solvay, 11 4000 LIEGE Belgium See on map Total cost No data
