Depending on the thickness and surface demands, also conventional hot-rolled batch processes can serve a?certain but truly very limited ratio. The Arvedi ESP Technology is giving new impulses to this market. With this game changing technology, it is suddenly possible to serve feed stock for numerous applications which cannot be directly produced by hot rolling until now. Thinner and at the same time wider steel strips can be produced and replace a?high number of cold rolled steel strips. Joint development efforts by Rizhao Steel and Primetals at recently started up ESP lines are setting new standards to cover also even more critical products for higher applications. The paper gives an overview of results and products developed for direct applications. 收起
