Development of high strength-high quality hot strip for ERW pipes, produced by the thin-slab casting technology

Objective

Research on an industrial scale is to be carried out with the aim of ascertaining the feasibility of manufacturing high strength, high quality hot rolled strip for structural applications through thin slab/direct rolling technology. The AST plant in Terni will be used for processing a high quality, high purity liquid steel produced from an electric furnace and ASEA ladle refining cycle. The final aim is to produce and qualify high standard ERW pipes of X60 grade using the hot rolled strip obtained by this innovative route and the pipe making facilities of T.D.I. pipe mill in Taranto.
