England uses vacuum degassing a special ladle metallurgy process that siphons the Molten Metal into a degassing vessel where unwanted carbon and other impurities are removed as the Metal flows up one snorkel and back into the ladle through the second snorkel alloys are added to the ultra-clean Metal in an oxygen-free environment vacuum degassing produces clean ultra-low carbon Metals that customers can form into complex shapes previously unattainable it also assured superior quality Metal Corner Brackets for electrical Metal's used in high efficiency motors fine-tune the molten Metal is ready for shaping in one of England's for continuous casters which turn out slabs blooms and billets continuous casting enhances quality conserves energy and boosts productivity in yield the computers monitor the hundreds of variables in the process and quickly make any adjustments necessary to meet the spec the molten Metal flows into the caster's water-cooled mold or it begins to solidify and take shape The Strand of hot Metal moves through a long automated series of horizontal and vertical rules which carefully shape it air in water sprays slowly cool the Metal the Slavs rules.

And billets are cut to length and transported for shaping and finishing at England's rolling mills this nine-inch thick slab is about to be rolled into a 3,500-foot long coil of hot-rolled sheet Metal the process begins by reheating the slab to 2300 degrees for approximately three hours today is customer surface quality standards will not tolerate even the smallest blemish that's why we have these walking beam furnaces so to give it a kid grub treatment take the slab and put it on the line without as much as a scratch from here a series of automated roughing and finishing stands stretching more than half a mile long roll the slab into sheet Metal gentle water remove surface scales on the Metal as it moves through the rolling stands eleven wastewater recycling systems purify the water used in this and other processes at the plant sensing devices continuously transmit the slabs thickness width temperature and squeezing force of the rolls to a computer.
Which instantaneously makes the adjustments necessary to ensure the coil specs in just four minutes that nine-inch thick slab is rolled into a coil of sheet Metal half a mile long and as thin as a dime hot-rolled sheet is the ideal material for products such as pipe and tubing Auto frames rail cars and construction and Outdoor Screws agricultural equipment however other products such as exposed automotive body parts appliance cabinets office furniture and electric motors require a smoother surface finish more precise thickness and other mechanical properties to achieve those qualities the hot-rolled coil is cold rolled at one of England's cold rolling mills the coil is first treated to a hot acid bath called pickling to remove any surface oxides then without reheating the coil is cold rolled in a tandem mill but tremendous pressure reduces the Metal's thickness since cold rolling hardens the Metal a heat-treating process called annealing is used to restore for mobility.
