Aspect Ratio of Continuous Cast Rolled Steel

In summary, there is a requirement for a 6-to-1 reduction from the original ingot or slab if the pipe is fabricated from plate. It is unclear if this would be achieved through hot or cold rolling. The question is posed if .5 inch plate would meet this requirement and if there is a standard or engineer from the milling industry who could provide more information. The best solution would be to contact the fabricating mill for their reduction standards or consult with an experienced milling engineer.

We have a requirement that if our pipe is going to be fabricated from plate, then it must have a larger than 6-to-1 reduction from the original conventionally cast ingot or continuously cast slab. It is not specified whether this would be hot/cold rolling, but we figured that .5 inch plate would most likely exceed this, but we are not sure. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a standard where this information could be found, or perhaps an engineer from the milling industry?

Your best bet would be to contact the mill that will be fabricating the plate and ask them what their reduction standards are. They should be able to give you a definitive answer as to the minimum reduction for .5 inch plate. Additionally, you could contact an engineer from the milling industry who may have more experience in this area.
 

Related to Aspect Ratio of Continuous Cast Rolled Steel

1. What is the aspect ratio of continuous cast rolled steel?

The aspect ratio of continuous cast rolled steel is the ratio of the width of the steel to its thickness. It is typically expressed as a decimal or a percentage.

2. How does the aspect ratio of continuous cast rolled steel affect its properties?

The aspect ratio of continuous cast rolled steel can affect its mechanical properties, such as strength, ductility, and toughness. A higher aspect ratio generally results in higher strength and lower ductility, while a lower aspect ratio results in lower strength and higher ductility.

3. What are some factors that can influence the aspect ratio of continuous cast rolled steel?

The aspect ratio of continuous cast rolled steel can be influenced by factors such as the type and composition of the steel, the casting and rolling processes, and the temperature and speed at which the steel is rolled.

4. How is the aspect ratio of continuous cast rolled steel measured?

The aspect ratio of continuous cast rolled steel is typically measured by taking the width and thickness of the steel and dividing the width by the thickness. This can also be expressed as a percentage by multiplying the ratio by 100.

5. Why is the aspect ratio of continuous cast rolled steel important?

The aspect ratio of continuous cast rolled steel is important because it can affect the final properties and performance of the steel. It can also impact the cost and efficiency of the production process. Therefore, it is important for manufacturers to carefully consider and control the aspect ratio of their steel products.
