1 Service Hot rolled. Product that is sold in its “as produced state” off the hot mill with no further reduction or processing steps. Hot mill. The rolling mill that reduces a hot slab into a coil of specified thickness; the whole processing is done at a relatively high temperature (when the steel is still “red”). Laser-welded blanks. Two or more sheets of steel seam-welded together into a single “blank” which is then stamped into a part. Materials that are both highly malleable and strong can be combined to meet customer requirements. Organic coating. High-tech composite material made of thin sheet with the highest surface quality and with a colored organic coating. Organic coating offers an even surface, excellent malleability and deep- drawing characteristics due to antifriction effects, high protection against corrosion, high resistance to chemical influences, and good temperature resistance. Scrap (ferrous). Ferrous (iron-containing) material that generally is remelted and recast into new steel. Seamless tubes. Tubes made from a solid billet or bloom, which is heated, then rotated under extreme pressure. This rotational pressure creates an opening in the center of the billet, which is then shaped by a mandrel to form a tube. Annual Report 2005/06 Sections. Blooms or billets that are hot- rolled in a rolling mill to form, among other shapes, “L”, “U”, “T” or “I” shapes. Sections can also be produced by welding together pieces of flat products. Sections can be used for a wide variety of purposes in the construction, machinery and transport industries. Also known as “profiles.” Simultaneous engineering. At any time of the design process each product life state is appropriately taken into consideration, i.e. by applying the related expert knowledge by means of forecasting, prognosis and simulation either by tools or by involving the human expert directly. Slag. The impurities in a molten pool of iron. Flux such as limestone may be added to foster the congregation of undesired elements into a slag. Because slag is lighter than iron, it will float on top of the pool, where it can be skimmed. Special sections. Sections that are tailormade to meet individual requirements of the customer. Specialty tubes. Refers to a wide variety of high-quality custom-made tubular products requiring critical tolerances, precise dimensional control and special metallurgical properties. Specialty tubing is used in the manufacture of automotive, construction and agricultural equipment, and in industrial applications such as hydraulic cylinders, machine parts and printing rollers. Supply chain management (SCM). The management and control of all materials, funds, and related information in the logistics process from the acquisition of raw materials to the delivery of finished products to the end user. Surface-coated steel products. Products that are metallically or organically coated through different methods, such as hot dip galvanizing, electrical galvanizing, color coating and powder coating. Surface coating helps adapt steel for different end uses and creates more value in the steel product. Switches. Turnout systems and components that meet a wide range of requirements, including high speeds and axle loads, that are used for passengers, freight, heavy haul, commuting and suburban rail transport. Tailored blanks. A section of sheet or strip that is cut to length and trimmed to match specifications for the manufacturer’s stamping design for a particular part. Because excess steel is cut away (to save shipping costs), all that remains for the stamper is to impart the three-dimensional shape with a die press (see “Blanking”). Welded tubes. Rolled plates welded into tubes of various shapes, gages, and diameters from different types of material.
