Objective
Shape and residual stresses of the cold coil directly from the hot mill is usually not satisfactory for shape critical direct sales, although the shape has been measured flat at the exit of the finishing mill. The aim of this project is to develop a strategy for cooling, strip tension and final finishing in order to improve the strip condition entering the coilers. Feasibility studies will be carried out on introducing a further process at the coiler entry to produce the required standards of strip condition entering the coilers. By linking shape measurements at various points through the process, recommendations for shape targets at each process will be recommended in order to produce a more consistent cold coil product.
