Yield, quality & throughput increase by optimising the transfer bar & finished strip geometry in hot strip mills

Project Information

Grant agreement ID: 7210-PR-286

Project closed

Start date 1 July 2001

End date 30 June 2004

Funded under

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

Total cost € 1 589 500,00

EU contribution € 953 700,00

Coordinated by

Betriebsforschungsinstitut des Verein Deutscher Eisenhüttenleute eV
Germany

Objective

The objective of the project is the development and implementation of a pre- determining algorithm for the transfer bar width of different steel groups. Major rolling parameters will be considered in front of and in the roughing mill. Furthermore, the mechanism of chewing at the strip, in particular thin hot strip, will be investigated and analysed to develop and test an avoidance strategy against tail end chewing.
