Advantages of Special Bar Quality Steel in Long Rolling Mills

Are you looking to expand and diversify your market presence? Is special bar quality (SBQ) steel the right direction for your mill? This technical paper will detail key areas in the rolling process where it is critical to achieve superior mechanical properties like strength and fatigue resistance, improved surface quality, and consistent tolerances for high-end demanding applications. The SBQ rolling process focuses on equipment providing consistently tight tolerances. The advancements in the market provide packaging and cooling technology with options for quenching tanks, heat retention tunnels, air blowing stations and natural cooling outlets, providing higher-quality products with increased utilizations.
