Correct mill-stand geometry is essential for effective and accurate gauge control, strip/plate quality, and preventive maintenance of the mill and its associated parts. Cost savings are realised in terms of reduced spare parts consumption and down times caused by the same bearing failures.
A crucial aspect of the project was the short timeline allowed for executing the on-site machining and installation of the new equipment.
This project follows those completed at ArcelorMittal Termitau hot strip mill (Kazakhstan), and Shouguan Jingtang hot strip mill (China).
