A process for rolling thin strip from powder is described which overcomes the disadvantages normally associated with powder rolling. Strip samples have been made from both iron and stainless-steel powders and an experimental plant has been built for continuous strip production.
An economic assessment of the manufacture of mild steel and stainless-steel strip by the powder route shows possible cost savings when compared with existing production methods.
