Benefits
Hot rolled pickled steel with ¼ EN10051 thickness tolerance
• Cost effective alternative, especially for
applications requiring consistent thickness and
with higher feasibility range
• Significant weight reduction of the final parts
for high strength low alloy material leading to
cost savings
• Less scrap, rework and better output, meaning
more final parts per tonne of steel consumed
• Additional reduction of material loss by using slit
strips over the whole width
• No rerolling operations needed to obtain better
thickness performance  one less process step
• Shorter delivery time

Process
Hot rolled pickled steel with ¼ EN10051 thickness tolerance
State-of-the-art mill equipments ensure
precision and consistent steel characteristics
• Automatic gauge control in all stands ensures
fast reaction on thickness variations
• Rolling speed controlled by performant loopers
• Roll bending and shifting to control the crown
• Walking beam furnaces with excellent
temperature homogeneity
• Stretch leveller to regulate elongation to maintain
thickness performance
• Accurate control of process and measurement
systems to reach tight tolerance
Automatic cropping of out of thickness on
head and tail on all coils
