20100221140 | HOT STEEL STRIP PARTICULARLY SUITED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC LAMINATION PACKS - A hot rolled low carbon steel strip with a reduced content of silicon and thickness comprised between 0.65 and 1.5 mm can be used in a particularly advantageous way for the production of multilayer packs of cold cut lamination and all those products composed of a number of overlying steel sheets which are required to have a substantial parallelism, planarity and no burrs, providing a valid alternative solution to the cold rolled, non-oriented grain silicon steel strip which is usually employed to this purpose. Said steel strip is characterized by a silicon content <0.03%, a thickness preferably between about 0.65 and 1 mm, reduced tolerances of ±0.05 mm, a parallelism rate <0.02 mm and a fine and uniform grain structure with the 70% of the ferritic grains comprised between the grades 9 and 12 of the ASTM E 112 standard. | 09-02-2010 |
20100239452 | STRIP OF HOT ROLLED MICRO-ALLOYED STEEL FOR OBTAINING FINISHED PIECES BY COLD PRESSING AND SHEARING - A micro-alloyed low carbon steel strip is obtained by hot rolling at temperature of the pre-strip never lower than 900° C. and shows such metallurgical and geometrical features, as well as relating to planarity and deformability, to render the same suitable to obtain structures of low weight and good mechanical resistance, thus being able for use in replacement of cold rolled strips for the production of finished stamped or cut pieces. Said steel strip, having thickness >0.7 mm, has a ratio yield load/breaking load >70%, a fine grain structure better than grade 10 of ASTM E 112 standard in a percentage higher than 90% of the whole structure and a ratio between breaking limit under strain and yield point σFp/RPo.2>90%. | 09-23-2010 |
20100242558 | PROCESS OF PRODUCING STEEL STRIPS SUITABLE FOR AN OXIDATION-RESISTING SURFACE COATING - A process is described for producing steel strips suitable for receiving a surface coating which is resisting to oxidation, in particular tin plating, of medium productivity, that does not require for its execution plants extended of a large areas or involving high economical investments. It comprises, starting from pickled hot strips having a thickness >0.7 mm, preferably obtained from thin-slab plants, a single cold rolling step by passing through not more than three stands of the Sendzimir 6Zhi type for the cold reduction of thickness to less than 0.25 mm and subsequent annealing. It is possible to obtain final thicknesses <0.18 mm both by simple reduction, which only provides subsequent skin-passing and finishing steps, and by double reduction on half-raw strip, which provides subsequent passes for thickness reduction of 30%. | 09-30-2010 |
20100252149 | HOT ROLLED DUAL PHASE STEEL STRIP HAVING FEATURES OF A COLD ROLLED STRIP - A hot rolled dual phase steel strip with Thickness® 1.0 mm can be used for producing cold pressed and cut pieces, in particular for the car manufacturing industry, by replacing with the same mechanical performances the cold rolled dual phase steel strip usually employed for these purposes. Said hot rolled strip in peritectic steel has a carbon percentage between 0.06 and 0.15% with chemical analysis without any important addition of chromium and phosphorous, with a constant geometrical profile on the whole length and tolerances, particularly with respect to the thickness, which are typical of a cold rolled strip with parallelism <0.05 mm, crown between strips centre and side edges <0.07 mm, while showing a structure with a microcrystalline fineness better than grade 10 of the ASTM 112 standard in a percentage higher than 80% of the whole structure. | 10-07-2010 |
20110042034 | PROCESS AND SYSTEM FOR MANUFACTURING METAL STRIPS AND SHEETS WITHOUT DISCONTINUITY BETWEEN CONTINUOUS CASTING AND ROLLING - A process and system for manufacturing metal strips of 0.14-20 mm thickness and metal sheets of 10-100 mm thickness from slabs of thickness between 30 and 300 mm by continuous casting of the bow type. The slab upon casting is fed without discontinuity directly to the rolling step after heating in an induction furnace without any intermediate product. The rolled flat product is withdrawn as sheet upon controlled cooling, by means of cutting and withdrawal device or wound on a reel to form a coil of a continuous strip severable by cutting device downstream of a cooling system. Surface cooling devices can be provided between rolling stands. The feed speed from continuous casting to the end of rolling is increasing step by step in relation to the thickness reductions and the quality of the end product, with regulation in cascade to the downstream direction. | 02-24-2011 |
20110308289 | PROCESS AND RELATED PLANT FOR PRODUCING STEEL STRIPS WITH SOLUTION OF CONTINUITY - A process for manufacturing steel strips with solution of continuity. The steps of the process include a continuous casting step for thin slabs with a high “mass flow,” a shearing step and subsequent heating in furnace, followed by a multiple stand rolling step with the average temperature of the product at the inlet of the rolling mill being higher than the surface temperature, which is equal to at least 1100° C., lower than that measured in the inner central area by about 100° C. A plant is also described for the accomplishment of such process where at the inlet of a furnace, possibly of the induction type, combined with a temperature maintaining tunnel a shear is provided for cutting into pieces a slab coming from continuous casting with the distance between the outlet of the continuous casting and the inlet into the finishing rolling mill is not greater than 100 m. | 12-22-2011 |
