    Abstract: A plant and process for the continuous production of hot-rolled steel strips with a minimum thickness of 0.3 mm is disclosed which includes a continuous casting device of thin or medium slabs with a thickness between 40 and 150 mm and a maximum width of at least 2100 mm followed by a roughing mill, a first induction furnace, a water descaler, a second induction furnace, a finishing mill, a cooling station, a cutting station and a winding station. A system for feeding a protective atmosphere containing ≤3% vol. oxygen is provided from the inlet of the second induction furnace to at least the third stand of the finishing mill. Between the continuous casting device and the roughing mill, an initial thermal conditioning and descaling section is provided having in sequence an induction edge heater, an induction heater for the rest of the slab surface and a water descaler.

    Abstract: A method for revamping a starting rolling plant, for producing a final strip starting from a slab having a determinate starting thickness, including: at least one heating furnace configured to heat at least the slab to a determinate starting temperature; at least one reversible roughing stand configured to subject the slab to one or more rolling passes in order to obtain an intermediate rolled product; and a rolling train disposed operatively in line with the roughing stand, including at least one pre-finishing stand and a plurality of finishing stands and configured to reduce the thickness of the intermediate rolled product, until the final strip having a determinate final thickness is obtained.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing the thickness of a strip of an aluminum-based material are disclosed. The aluminum-based material is pre-heated before running the material through a warm rolling process. The systems include devices for pre-heating, which can include a heated payoff station or a dedicated pre-heating station that applies heated rolls or acts as a heated tunnel.

    Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for cutting a material, comprising: a frame body installed on a conveying path of a material; a cutting means, mounted on the frame body, for cutting an end portion of the material being conveyed; a laser preheating means for preheating the material by irradiating a laser beam onto the material before being conveyed to the cutting means; and a blocking and reflection means for blocking the laser beams reflected to the cutting means and re-reflecting the laser beam to the material.
