Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines for the ECSC steel RTD programme of research and pilot/demonstration projects, 1996-2002

Total cost € 791 000,00

EU contribution € 474 600,00

Objective

The main objective of this project is to reduce the costs and delays in rolling and heat-treating carbon and low-alloyed steels through improved monitoring. Particular attention will be paid to the suppression of rejects due to defects, to increasing service properties of the final products, and to reducing the distortion of thick plates, providing savings in metal, energy, time and costs. Improved knowledge of steel behaviour will lead to the development of new steel grades and improved processing procedures.
