MAANSHAN Iron & Steel Co Ltd (Masteel) has placed an order with Friedrich Kocks GmbH for a reducing and sizing block (RSB ® ) 370++/4 in 5.0 design with SCS ® size control system, 4D Eagle light section measuring gauge and thermo-mechanical rolling process. Masteel is one of the largest iron and steel enterprises in Mainland China. The state-owned company, headquartered in Maanshan, Anhui Province, was founded in 1958, and in 1993 split into Magang (Group) Holding Company and Maanshan Iron & Steel Company Ltd. The Kocks three-roll RSB 5.0 with four stand positions will be installed as core equipment in the new 400,000 t/a SBQ mill, finishing straight bars for automotive, aerospace and mechanical engineering applications within a dimension range of Ø 16 to 100mm at a maximum speed of 18m/s. The RSB 5.0 will be located behind a continuous roughing and intermediatemill consisting of 22 stands in H/V arrangement, and is designed for temperature-controlled rolling at low temperatures. At the core of the future-orientated RSB is the real-time closed-loop control system SCS, which further improves the rolled tolerances and simplifies the operation due to automated optimisation of the roll gap settings and motor rpms. The Kocks 4D Eagle measuring gauge complements the SCS, integrating the newest technologies and meeting the requirements of most modern rolling mills for full process transparency. The scope of supply is completed by the thermo-mechanical rolling (TMR) process, including the Kocks Process Simulator (KPS) and the appropriate automation package. Commissioning is scheduled for mid-2018. Friedrich Kocks GmbH & Co KG – Germany Email: marketing@kocks.de Website: www.kocks.de
