Objectif
This project aims to substitute cold strip for deep drawing applications by hot strip for economic, time saving and ecological reasons. For that a thin slab casting and direct rolling line shall be used. Ferritic rolling is a suitable rolling method for the necessary thin hot strips.
Starting with an ELC-grade two main processing routes shall be tested, which are high finishing rolling and coiling temperatures to get a soft and ductile hot strip for direct application and low finishing rolling and coiling temperatures to get a strained thin hot strip for direct annealing and hot dip galvanising.
