Processing of Advanced Structural Steels on CSP Plants
K.-E. Hensger
Abstract
Compact Strip Production (CSP) is an process established for the effective manufacture of advanced hot strips. Leading CSP producers put the production emphasis on high-quality grades, and consistently restricting the processing of low-quality grades for competitive reasons. The paper focuses on two major subjects: first: materials processed in CSP plants and examples of application of CSP hot strip are given. After a short overview a closer look to the processing of HSLA grades in CSP plants is taken. These high strength grades with Y. S. up to 600 MPa are manufactured in CSP plants on large scale and with great reliability, second: steel group of interest here - multiphase steels is about to be processed in CSP plants. Requirements on material properties for this new product group are given, which deal with the relationship between microstructure and properties and go over to the metallurgical microstructures. Special focus on DP and TRIP grades is given.
