Funded under

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

Total cost € 714 500,00

EU contribution € 428 700,00

Objective

The proposed research aims at improving the flatness quality and coating quality at tinning, galvanising and coating lines. Investigations will be made to improve the contact of the strip with submerged roll in order to predict occurrences of strip "aquaplaning" situation and to decrease the strip tension especially with the evolution towards low thickness strips. These investigations will be explored through calculation, measurement campaigns on experimental pilot line and industrial trials. Results are expected to apply to other processes and to improve the reliability an productivity of lines such as cleaning or continuous annealing.
