Stainless Steel Cold Rolling Plant at Chiba Works

Junichi Yamamoto, Akira Kishida, Hisanao Nakahara
Synopsis :
Stainless Steel Cold Rolling Plant, which was newly built in Chiba Works, started operation. A cold rolling mill (SCM), a continuous annealing and pickling line (CAP) and a recoiling line entered into operation in March 1991, a slitting line and a shearing line successively in March 1992, and finally a vertical type coil storehouse in September 1992. The SCM features (1) wide range shape control and good shape by newly developed software, (2) the introduction of various automatic guage control systems to attain high accuracy of plate thickness, and (3) the automated operations. The CAP features (1) the employment of a high quality and efficiency annealing furnace and electrolytic pickling method, (2) the inline setup of a skinpass mill, tension leveller and trimmer, and (3) the utilization of some kinds of quality assurance equipment. Each facility has been running satisfactorily since its start up and upgraded the quality of stainless steel products.
