- Abstract
With the ongoing restructuring of the market for rolled products, manufacturers are finding that some customers are making greater demands in regard to the quality of the finished products they buy. In response, manufacturers are improving the technologies and equipment used to make these products while also using their existing production facilities to the maximum extent possible. This article analyzes the technological capabilities of the welding complexes in the strip shop at the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Combine. The equipment is evaluated from the standpoint of its ability to help make a wide range of cold-rolled products while not slowing the operation of other, continuously operating equipment in the shop. The components of the existing butt-welding machines that reinforce the coils and form a continuous loop of the strip were found to be bottlenecks in the production process.
