​​Automotive Exposed Steel Production on Arvedi ESP​

​​The automotive industry has a huge demand for high-quality steel sheet with high formability while steel production with a low CO2 footprint becomes increasingly important. Arvedi ESP (Endless Strip Production) enables producing high-quality and “green” steel strips that can be even used as feedstock for highly demanding automotive exposed applications. This paper will illustrate this novel ESP process route, making use of various features such as in-line scarfing. Together with the intrinsic advantages of ESP like outstanding uniformity of strip geometry, microstructure and material properties, superior strip qualities can be achieved at virtually zero direct CO2 emissions. ​
