Project Information

Grant agreement ID: 7215-EB-801

Project closed

Start date 1 December 1990

End date 30 November 1993

Funded under

• Programme (ECSC) "pilot and demonstration projects in the iron and steel industry", 1988-1992

Total cost € 3 750 000,00

EU contribution € 1 500 000,00

Objective

The project is to build a continuous annealing pilot line for cold rolled sheets in order to test a new type of transverse flux induction heating capable of heating strip steel to the annealing temperature in a few seconds. This new technique coupled with a fast cooling section, would allow this kind of installation to be built in a much more compact manner and to reach much higher utilisation rates than in conventional continuous annealing lines.
