ABSTRACT
There are several tendencies in the global development of at steel rolling that are characteristic of the late 20 th and early 21 st centuries: increased quality requirements imposed on cold-rolled sheets, increased demand for ultra-thin coldrolled sheets (structural grades with thickness of 0.3 mm and under, food quality tin sheet with thickness of up to 0.1 mm), and desire to decrease energy consumption at all stages of cold-rolled sheet production.
