CSP(R)flex-New CSP(R)concepts for future market requirements
To satisfy new market demands,SMS Siemag further developed its successful CSP(R) technology.Main objectives were the increase of production to 4.0 million tpy in two-strand operation,the manufacturing of high-strength,micro-alloyed pipe grades with high thicknesses and the economic production of ultra-thin hot strip.Also the typical advantages of CSP(R) such as low investment and operating costs,high availability and yield,uniform product characteristics and a large product mix were reinforced.These new developments are summarized under the label CSP(R) flex.Main features of CSP(R) flex are its modular configuration with an extended range of casting machines and rolling mills.With the new VLB caster,production per strand can be increased to 2.0 million tpy.The innovative Vario Mill concept was developed as a result of the metallurgical necessities for the rolling of high-strength,micro-alloyed pipe grades and enables the production of these grades in larger thicknesses.CSP(R) flex also includes highly efficient concepts for the production of ultra-thin strip,which enable endless and batch production.The paper presents these new developments as well as the metallurgical research and operational considerations,which were the basis for them.
