New order
for SBQ mill
MAANSHAN Iron & Steel Co Ltd
(Masteel) has placed an order with
Friedrich Kocks GmbH for a reducing
and sizing block (RSB®) 370++/4 in 5.0
design with SCS® size control system,
4D Eagle light section measuring gauge
and thermo-mechanical rolling process.
Masteel is one of the largest iron and
steel enterprises in Mainland China. The
state-owned company, headquartered
in Maanshan, Anhui Province, was
founded in 1958, and in 1993 split into
Magang (Group) Holding Company and
Maanshan Iron & Steel Company Ltd.
The Kocks three-roll RSB 5.0 with
four stand positions will be installed
as core equipment in the new 400,000
t/a SBQ mill, finishing straight bars for
automotive, aerospace and mechanical
engineering applications within a
dimension range of Ø 16 to 100mm at
a maximum speed of 18m/s. The RSB
5.0 will be located behind a continuous
roughing and intermediatemill consisting
of 22 stands in H/V arrangement, and
is designed for temperature-controlled
rolling at low temperatures.
At the core of the future-orientated
RSB is the real-time closed-loop control
system SCS, which further improves
the rolled tolerances and simplifies the
operation due to automated optimisation
of the roll gap settings and motor rpms.
The Kocks 4D Eagle measuring gauge
complements the SCS, integrating the
newest technologies and meeting the
requirements of most modern rolling
mills for full process transparency.
The scope of supply is completed by
the thermo-mechanical rolling (TMR)
process, including the Kocks Process
Simulator (KPS) and the appropriate
automation package. Commissioning is
scheduled for mid-2018.
