The process route enables producing a wide range of products with regard to the material and the product dimensions, i.e. thin and extremely wide plates and thin hot strip. The rolling modes comprise normal rolling, temperature-controlled rolling, thermo-mechanical rolling and multi-plate rolling. The temperature control system in the Steckel/Plate mill allows homogeneous heating of the rolling stock with optimally arranged burners and thus ensures excellent, constant material properties.
