Leading high performance steel plates with advanced manufacturing technologies

Abstract

Recent development of construction and design technology gives larger and heavier steel structures. In addition, reductions of construction and maintenance cost are also recently focused in various fields. From this viewpoint, higher strength, better weldability and higher performance are required for structural steels. In order to achieve these requirements, advanced and sophisticated process technology is critical in addition to precise material design. This paper describes the development of the Super-OLAC (On Line Accelerated Cooling) and its various products.
