| Ultra-thin Hot Rolled Strip Nobuo Yamada, Masanori Kitahama, Hideyuki Nikaido |
| Synopsis: Kawasaki Steel has been making efforts to develop new hot-rolled steel products by using fully continuous rolling technology, so-called "endless rolling", at No. 3 hot strip mill of Chiba Works. Stable rolling technology of ultra-thin hot rolled strips such as 1.0 mm, 0.9 mm, and 0.8 mm in thickness has been established, and the conventional minimum gauge of hot rolled strips (1.2 mm) has been lowered. The ultra-thin hot rolled strips have been provided to the market with a brand name "RTHC" (River thin hot coil commercial grade) since 1977. The ultra-thin hot rolled strips have excellent quality in dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties. In addition, the ultra-thin hot rolled strips meet current needs of energy saving and reducing CO2 emission. New market and more demands for the newly developed product strips are expected. |
