Figure 4 shows the process flow of one of our customers. They used to draw the conventional round coils
twice (rough and finish) then apply the annealing process. With our square coils, they can achieve the final
product by drawing only once.
4. Summary
JFE Steels West Japan Works produces wire rods
and bars, and has developed an original 4-roll mill
which can produce square coils with high dimensional
accuracy. With these coils, our customers can improve
their process flow and reduce production cost.
JFE Steel will continue to develop new products to
meet customers needs.
