Abstract

THE GAP IN THE MARKET FOR MEASURING SYSTEMS FOR HOT ROLLED STRIP UNDER TENSION HAS NOW BEEN CLOSED WITH A NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPED BY SMS GROUP AND BRINGS THE PROVEN X-SHAPE TECHNOLOGY, WHICH IS BASED ON THE WORLD MARKET LEADING BFI FLATNESS MEASUREMENT CONCEPT, TO THE HOT ROLLING PROCESS. IN COOPERATION WITH VDEH-BETRIEBSFORSCHUNGSINSTITUT (BFI) AND ARCELORMITTAL, THE PROTOTYPE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED AND OPERATED AT ARCELORMITTAL’S HOT ROLLING MILL IN EISENHüTTENSTADT. THE MEASURING SYSTEM OFFERS A DETAILED INSIGHT INTO THE EFFECTS OF FLATNESS IN THE FINISHING MILL WHEN ROLLING WITH TENSION, AS WELL AS THE EFFECTS OF THE LAMINAR COOLING
