| 5-Stand Cold Reduction Mill
In the cold rolling process, pickled and oiled coils pass through five stands, arranged in tandem with a predetermined amount of reduction taken on each stand until the final thickness is achieved upon exiting the fifth stand. Reductions are taken in one pass. The 5-Stand reduction mill reduces the strip from a gauge range of .075" to .225" to a range of .010" to .172" in thickness, with a maximum width of 60".

With the growing
demand for quality galvanized and cold rolled steel products, coupled with the high quality needs of our customers for
strip gauge accuracy, flatness,
and enhanced surface quality, CSI recognized the need to increase cold reduction capabilities. A complete
modernization of the 5-Stand
tandem cold reduction mill was completed in 1997. This unit now has a capacity of more than 1 million tons annually.
