Recent Development of Thin Slab Casting and Rolling Technology in a Challenging Market

Thin Slab Casting and Rolling Technology, in particular CSP^® technology (Compact Strip Production), is well established for hot coil production. From its introduction in 1989, CSP^® technology has been continuously developed further. Today, on a CSP^® plant, nearly the full range of high-quality steel grades can be produced with tightest geometrical and metallurgical tolerances under optimum economic conditions.
