Thermomechanical Controlled Rolling of Hot Coils of Steel Grade S355MC at the Wide-Strip Rolling Mill 1700

Тhere has been developed technology, and pilot batch of hot rolling coils (6×1500 mm, steel grade S355MC) has been produced using thermo-mechanical controlled process (TMCP) for the wide-strip rolling mill 1700. The integrated technology for TMCP coil production (steel grade S355MC) has been firstly developed for the rolling mill 1700 in accordance with EN 10149-2. Air cooling for coils to 450°C after coiling has been firstly used in the developed technology, which provides for decrease in air scale and improvement of surface quality for the customers. It is possible to manufacture rolled products up to 6×1500 mm (steel grade S355MC) in accordance with EN 10149-2 using the existing equipment without exceeding the existing process constraints during its operation and without upgrading. It is possible to further master the rolled products, which are manufactured according to the TMCP technology.
