SKIN-PASS MILL
Excellent flatness and a perfect finish.
The advantages of skin-pass mills (temper mills) from Primetals Technologies include full compliance with tight strip elongation tolerances, excellent flatness performance, high surface quality, and the availability of wet and dry skin-passing modes. Primetals Technologies supplies stand-alone and inline skin-pass mills in either single or two-stand design for adjusting the final mechanical properties, flatness, and surface finish of strip. Thanks to its higher flatness control ability, 6-high Universal Crown Control Mill (UC-MILL) is the preferred skin-pass mill solution for meeting the continually increasing demands placed on strip flatness, elongation, and roughness, especially for hard-material grades.
Excellent flatness and perfect finish for High-Strength Steel
In addition to a single skin-pass mill in single direction, Primetals Technologies supplies two mill stands temper mill, which includes DCR (Double Cold Reduction) mills with two or even three mill stands for harder tin materials. Single or double-stand Skin-Pass Mills are placed in-line at the exit of continuous annealing and continuous galvanizing lines. 6-high UC-MILLs are supplied in response to recent requirements to roll harder material, such as hard tin plate and AHSS, with improved strip flatness control capability.
Main benefits:
- Tight strip elongation tolerances
- Excellent flatness performance
- High surface quality (roughness, peak count, low residuals)
- Wet and dry skin-passing modes
- High-speed roll changing
- Stable rolling

Reference Story: UC-MILL to achieve excellent strip shape for high strength steel without tension leveler
Customer:
Guangzhou JFE Steel Sheet Co., Ltd., China
Type of plant:
In-line Skin-Pass Mill for Continuous Annealing Line to produce HSS for automotive application
Technical Data:
Strip Thickness: 0.30 ~ 2.6 mm
Strip Width : 800 mm～1,880 mm
Mill Type : 6-high UC-MILL
Our solution:
The 6-high UC-MILL was installed to enhance the customer's product portfolio which now includes harder materials up to 1180 MPa HSS. The mill is capable of rolling such high-demand materials in wide width range and into excellent strip shape without tension leveler, to boost the plant's competitiveness.
