The work presented herein describes the production of hot strip with special attention to the runout table. Because of its high capital and operating costs, a new principle in conveying the strip using an air cushion and a new cooling system for strip cooling have been proposed. Information given here is nearly all from available literature and the author's own experience with Hot Strip Mill production problems. To support the idea of using an air cushion for strip conveying, experimental equipment was designed and built which confirmed the feasibility of the method. A new cooling system was also proposed to meet the ever increasing requirements for better mechanical properties of hot strip. Runout table design application may serve as a guideline in designing new Hot Strip Mill runout table. / Thesis / Master of Engineering (ME)
