Technology for the production of fl at steel products has a long
history of development, and demonstrates all the signs of longevity.
The last two decades have been especially successful
in the introduction of new technology, signifi cantly reducing
production cost and further improving product quality.
Among the most revolutionary technologies that were introduced
during that time were
Hot strip pro • duction plants that use the thin- and
medium-slab casters in combination with conventional
rolling mills
• Hot strip and plate production plants that use thinand
medium-slab casters in combination with reversing
Steckel mill
• Cast strip production plants
• High-productivity reversing cold mill
