Abstrakt: With five Arvedi ESP lines, Rizhao Steel in China is now focusing on the highly attractive local and export markets for high-quality, thin-gauge strip products. The first lines began operations in 2015.High-strength but lightweight car bodies, ultra-thin structures paired with the highest tensile strength – and all at the lowest production costs. Innovative processes are required in order to fulfil the demands of the car and metals industries. With precise thermo-mechanical rolling and rigorous temperature guidance in the narrowest possible operations windows Arvedi ESP opens the door to producing demanding steel grades in the shortest implementation times and at reduced alloying costs. Low operation costs are also provided by efficient induction heating and the resulting energy savings.This paper presents the ESP plant setup of Rizhao Steel as well as the training and support program. Additionally the potentials of AHSS production with ESP will be described by referencing the results of the first ESP plant in operation since 2009 at Arvedi Steel, Italy, and the ESP plants of Rizhao steel.
