Automatic gauge control(AGC)is a closed loop control function
designed to regulate thickness at the exit of the rolling mill stand
to increase the thickness accuracy. To make sure that the flat
products rolled in the mill are of required uniform thickness
within the required tolerance.
AWC (Automatic Width Control):
Slabs are heated a temperature

in a typical range from 1150 to
1270 . Reheating reduces
the deformation strength of
slabs sufficiently to allow it
to be rolled, and ensure that
all alloy elements are in solid
solution.
The rolling process for a

plate thus has to achieve
the correct dimensions. The
device(HAGC,WRB,AWC)
is used to obtain excellent
dimensional accuracy and
uniformity.
The addition of an edger and

its integrated width control
automation package gives
more accurate control of the
product width and significantly
reduces width variations.
ACC equipments can be used

a micro-structural control
technique combining controlled
rolling and cooling.
Leveller is a stress relief

process carried out through low

multi-roller machine, the plate
surface undergoing a series of
reverse bends.
width gauge
Automatic width control (AWC) can be applied at each edger to
provide in-bar width control to increase the width accuracy by
adjusting the roll gap. The addition of an edger and its integrated
width control automation package gives more accurate control
of the product width and significantly reduces width variations.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
10.1 Orientation Feature

Plate products are produced from slabs through rolling process. In general, the properties of plate on rolling
direction (longitudinal) are better than those on transverse direction. In addition, the applications, which stress is
applied on thickness direction and the effect of middle thickness position of plate due to the center segregation
of slabs, shall be considered. The properties on thickness direction shall be also asked to announce and verify
if necessary.
10.2 Post-Processes and Quality Requirements

The ways of processing for plate products are mostly often seen in cutting, bending and welding, among which
welding is specially the most major way of processing since almost all applications of steel plates need to have
the post-process for welding. The use of steel plates, in addition to the requirements for specification tolerance
and surface quality, the inner quality for satisfying various uses needs to have the corresponding quality
properties, such as strength, toughness, corrosion resistance, weldability etc. Therefore, it should plan carefully
in the early stage of material design according to the end-uses and consider the subsequent corresponding
processes to avoid unexpected failures.
10.3 The Influences of Cutting

Since shear-cutting produces some unfavorable features such as micro cracks, burrs and hardened layer on
the cutting surface, it is easy to result in the end-surface cracks that are detrimental to following processes. The
effective methods to prevent the occurring of end-surface cracks are removing of burrs, making of rounded
corners or heat annealing.
Flame-cutting will harden the cutting surface by the quenching effect which is positively correlative to the
carbon equivalent. Mild heating to the cutting region before and after flame-cutting is helpful to the subsequent
processes.
10.4 Weldability
Welding area includes fusion zone (i.e. the weld metal) and heat affected zone (HAZ). The fusion zone
forms casting texture while the HAZ turns to a hardened area after welding. Due to quenching effect, HAZ is
characterized by its low elongation and could be a crack source during welding or using. Hence, the material
properties and welding conditions have to be confirmed so that the highest hardness in heat affected zone can
be possibly reduced. Since the highest hardness is generally a direct proportion with the carbon content, the
hardened area alloy additions (as carbon equivalent) can be considered and adjusted from the early stage of
material design in order to improve the weldability and reduce the detrimental effects of HAZ.
42
The carbon equivalent can be estimated by following equation:

Ceq(%) = C + Mn/6 + (Cr+Mo+V)/5 + (Ni+Cu)/15
Steel grades that contains Ni, Cr, Mo, Cu, V and Nb in the composition need to be treated carefully during welding
because the material is easy to form a HAZ with very hard textures and result in such problems as low elongation and lowtemperature cracks.
Low-temperature crack happens after a period of time from the welding, including underbead crack, root crack and toe
crack, etc. The causes of low-temperature crack include the elongation of HAZ, the diffusion of hydrogen in weld metal, and
the restraint and hardenability of material.
PCM, the low-temperature crack sensitivity, is a quantitative index to monitor the correlation between chemical
composition and low-temperature crack occurrence, which can be calculated as below:
PCM% C+ Si/30+ Mn/20+ Cu/20+ Ni/60+ Cr/20+ Mo/15+ V/10+ 5B
The lower PCM value, the lower risk of crack of materials is. It may reduce preheating temperature when doing the welding.
PCM is a very important property to the steel maker developing high strength steels, and it have to be properly handled for
the production of steels with excellent weldability and crack resistance.
10.5 Bendability
The bending radius applied on a steel plate shall not be smaller than the minimum value given by specification. The degree
of minimum bending radius depends on the thickness and materials of steel plates. The smaller minimum bending radius,
the better bendability of steel plates is. As for the influences of thickness of steel plates, the thicker, the more difficult
processing is, and the larger minimum bending radius becomes, too.
Because the effect of rolling steel plates with longitudinal direction for bending work is better than that with the transverse
direction, when the bending direction is toward parallel direction of rolling, the materials can bear more strains. In reverse,
it is easy to crack if the bending direction is vertical direction of rolling. These factors should be regarded at sampling and
planning stage for preventing bending work from cracks. Furthermore, burrs of cutting surface are supposed to be in the
inner radius of bending since they are crack inducers under tension stress.
10.6 Ultrasonic Test

(1) Since CSC uses continuous casting slabs to roll steel plates, the maximum thickness of slabs is 270 mm. The
maximum thickness of plate would be extended as possible to meet requirments of customers. And for the rolling ratio
and safty considerations, customers should consider doing the UT examination.
(2) Adoptable ultrasonic test standards are listed as follows:
(a) ASTM A435 and A578: The ultrasonic tests that focus on inner layer type defect detection. Test and acceptance
criteria of A578 are divided into 3 levels of A, B and C. Level A is the same with A435 that single defective spot shall
not be larger than 3 inch or the circle area of the diameter of 1/2 thickness. Level B is altered from level A that nearby
small defects will be involved into the calculation of defect size. Level C is the strictest that the acceptable single
maximum defect size shall not be larger than 1 inch.
(b) JIS G0801 and G0901: G0801 is designed for pressure vessels and is divided into 3 types of SGACAL and
class XY. G0901 is designed for building structures and is divided into 2 types of X and Y. Both standards focus on
the detection of inner layers and defect spots that the criteria of G0801 are stricter than that of G0901.
