Arvedi ESP-Three Years of Successful Operation
In June 2009 industrial production in the endless mode commenced at the new Arvedi ESP (Endless Strip Production) line in Cremona,Italy.For the first time ever,hot-rolled coils can now be commercially produced in a thin-slab casting/rolling plant directly from liquid steel in a continuous and uninterrupted manufacturing process.The thin slab caster converts liquid melt into a solid strand,which is directly fed to the subsequent highreduction stands followed by an induction furnace and the 5-stand finishing mill,including cooling and coiling facilities.The process automation comprises motor and drive solutions as well as process models which control the machine from the mold to the downcoiler.A modern integrated human machine interface provides a complete overview for the operator.Several technological milestones were achieved,including the casting of 80 mm thin strands at speeds in excess of six meters per minute and hot-strip rolling down to a thickness of 0.8 mm.Strip dimensions meet the geometrical requirements for cold rolling,allowing the conventional cold-rolling process step to be dispensed with for many industrial applications.Newest results on quality,environmental and economical benefits will be highlighted.
