Within the last 10 years, Chinese steel producers have invested in Continuous Annealing facilities leading to a high install base capacity. Each of these plants is sized for approximately 0,6 to 1 million tons per year to serve massively the construction, industrial and automotive market with various product sizes and grades such: - Low carbon Al killed steel - IF steel for drawing qualities - High strength steel - Advanced high strength steel, DP, TRIP The Continuous Annealing Line process is now facing several challenges taking place at the same time, namely: - Serve Automation demanding Industry, - Development of new steel grades especially AHSS, - Be responsible towards Health and Safety Environment by reducing energy consumption and emissions. These challenges are manageable through a very high Quality Manufacturing aiming down-grading reduction prime quality yield enhancement. For this purpose Siemens is offering SIROLL PL, a set of powerful tools issued from years to research and development.
