INTRODUCTION
HOT ROLL COILS
Hot rolling is a metalworking process that occurs above the recrystallization temperature
of the material. After the grains deform during processing, they recrystallize, which
maintains an equated microstructure and preventing the metal from work hardening.
The starting material is usually large pieces of metal, like semi-finished casting
products, such as slabs, blooms, and billets. If these products came from a continuous
casting operation the products are usually fed directly into the rolling mills at the proper
temperature. In smaller operations the material starts are room temperature and must
be heated. This is done in a gas- or oil-fired soaking pit for larger work pieces and for
smaller work pieces induction heating is used. As the material is worked the
temperature must be monitored to make sure it remains above the recrystallization
temperature. To maintain a safety factor a finishing temperature is defined above the
recrystallization temperature; this is usually 50 to 100 °C (122 to 212 °F) above the
recrystallization temperature. If the temperature does drop below this temperature the
material must be re-heated before more hot rolling.
Hot rolled metals generally have little directionality in their mechanical properties and
deformation induced residual stresses. However, in certain instances non-metallic
inclusions will impart some directionality and work pieces less than 20 mm (0.79 in)
thick often have some directional properties. Also, non-uniformed cooling will induce a
lot of residual stresses, which usually occurs in shapes that have a non-uniform cross-
section, such as I-beams and H-beams. While the finished product is of good quality,
the surface is covered in mill scale, which is an oxide that forms at high-temperatures. It
is usually removed via pickling or the smooth clean surface process, which reveals a
smooth surface

ISPAT INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Ispat Industries Limited manufactures international standard hot rolled (HR) coils at its
Hot Strip Mill (HSM), situated at Dolvi in the state of Maharashtra, India. The production
of these coils involves the use of state-of-the-art equipment and manufacturing
processes that ensure products of the highest quality.
Ispat's HSM uses a combination of the advanced Conarc Process and Thin Slab
Casting technology, which facilitates the rolling of coils that are as thin as 1.2 mm with a
width of 1250 mm. These are superior to commercial grade cold rolled (CR) coils, and
are quite often a substitute for CR products in certain applications, due to their thinner
gauges and finer surface quality.
APPLICATIONS
Ispat's HR coils are used in the most critical engineering applications and also in certain
applications in the automotive sector. In addition, some of the value-added HR coil
products include steel for LPG cylinders, API grade, corrosion resistant steel, critical
structural application steel, boiler quality, auto grades, precision tubes and medium/high
carbon grades, among others.

Vijaynagar Works
Vijaynagar works was the first Greenfield project in
world to use Corex technology to produce steel. On
February 18,2009 India largest Blast Furnace of
2.8MT capacity was commissioned here. With this
commissioning, JSW Steel become the largest
private sector steel producer in India with 7.8MT capacity. It is also in the advance stage
of setting up of 5MTPA state of the act Hot Strip Mill which will be commissioned in the
second half of fiscal 2009-10. The next phase of expansion taking the total production to
10mtpa plant at Vijaynagar Works is also under implementation. It will be commissioned
in fiscal 2010-11. This makes it among the fastest growing steel plant in the world.
It's eco-friendly approach has also led to the development of Vijaynagar into a modern
township. Enveloped by acres of greenery and maintained by JSW, Vijaynagar is
prospering by leaps and bounds. Be it education, career opportunity or women
empowerment, the Company's initiative has gone a long way in making Vijaynagar the
success that it is today.

HR Processing
In accordance with the Material Flow, the hot roll coils in HR Slitting Line to the required
Length and further certain Coils are pickled in hydrochloric acid medium by Push –
Pickling process to remove the scales from the hot rolled coils. The pickled coils are
then further slit to the requirement. The Slit Coils are further processed in HR Cut to
Length Line as per requirement. The cut Lengths are packed and dispatched.
FORMS OF STEEL SUPPLIED IN THE MARKET

GALVALUME ISPAT INDUSTRIES LIMITED
1. Coil Form
The steel produced in the company is always in the form of coil. Which can be always
processed further according to the requirement of the Dealer, Retailer and End User.
42,200 Tons per month is supplied in the region of Maharashtra. That is 48% from all
the form.
2. Plates
Steel produced in the factory are in the form of Coils but the requirements are not
always the same so the Coil are cut down into pieces according to the desired width
and Thickness to make it Plates. And they are cut down into plates so that they can use
it in the desired industry. 6,100 tons per month is supplied in the region of Maharashtra.
That is 7% from all the form
3. Sheets
58
GALVALUME ISPAT INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Steel produced in the factory are in the form of Coils but the requirements are not
always the same so the Coil are cut down into pieces according to the desired width
and Thickness to make it sheets. . And they are cut down into Sheets so that they can
use it in the desired industry. 38,950 tons per month is supplied in the region of
Maharashtra. That is 44% from all the form.
4. Pickling
Many hot working processes and other processes that occur at high temperatures leave
a discoloring oxide layer or scale on the surface. In order to remove the scale the work
piece is dipped into a vat of pickle liquor. The primary acid used is hydrochloric acid,
although sulfuric acid was previously more common. Hydrochloric acid is more
expensive than sulfuric acid, but it pickles much faster while minimizing base metal loss.
1,400 tons per month is supplied in the region of Maharashtra. That is 1% from all the
form.

Recommendation
Hot rolled coils are the oldest product in the steel market. So the steel was
supplied the traditional way.
Now companies have realized that to survive in the Competition they have to
follow the new concepts of Just in Time, Kanban Kaizan & Total Quality
Management.
Companies can only make good profits that have a shorter and faster Distribution
Channels.
Customers need the product in the shorter period and at a greater quality.
Companies are now entered the Retail business of selling steel which was one of
the greatest moves in the steel sector.
The future of steel really lies in the proper management and planning of the each
Retail outlet which will enhance the distribution channel.
Ispat Industries Limited should concentrate on Thickness of 1.6 mm to
5mm for the Automobile Sector.
Ispat Industries Limited should concentrate on Width of 1000mm to
1550mm for the Automobile Sector.
Ispat Industries Limited should concentrate on Thickness of 1.6mm to
12mm and Width of 1000mm to 1850mm for Machinery Sector.
Conclusion
Steel sector was seen as the Production and Selling era where companies produced
and transported their goods as required by Customers. But now the time has changed
and companies have realized that to beat the competition companies have to supply the
goods Just in Time. So the steel sector is experiencing the whole new concept of setting
up Retail Outlets and selling the products and reaching the Customer rather then
Customers reaching them.
