Advantages of very tight thickness tolerances

• hot rolled narrow strip from Hoesch Hohenlimburg offers very tight thickness tolerances over the length as well as over the width of the strip due to the limited rolling width
  
• this is necessary to be able to also achieve a very symmetrical cross profile on the hot rolled strip

Result:

• when the very tight thickness tolerances are consequently utilised this will lead to weight savings on the finished part as well as to a higher output (more parts per tonne of steel)
  
• extended lifetime of the tools and less downtime necessary for tool and line adjustments
  
• possibility of replacing cold rolled sheets and strip
