Corporate Social Responsibility

Today with threats of Global Warming it is every company's duty to contribute to build a Green environment. ASPL has installed three windmills in the state of Gujarat. The amount of energy these windmills generate is more than all the electricity used by ASPL.

Hot Rolled Pickled & Oiled (HRPO)

Hot Rolled coils contain iron oxide layers & scales thus making them unsuitable for direct use. At ASPL we provide Pickling & oiling of HR coils in order to remove the rusty layers & scales from the surface and gives a bright surface finish. The application of oil & superior packaging ensures that the coils/sheets remain rust-free. Advantages Complete removal of iron oxide layers Scale-free & Rust-free Surface Bright & clean surface finish Improved flatness Ready-to-use Latest technology

PROCESSES done @ASPL

Pickling
At ASPL we have state-of-the-art Push-Pull Pickling line with capability to pickle width up to 1550 mm. Hydrochloric Acid maintained at a certain temperature is used to clean the coils. This process helps remove the rusty layers & scales from the surface and gives a bright surface finish. This processing is necessary since rust is formed on the surface of the coils at room temperature, whereas scales are formed at a high temperature during rolling in the hot strip mill.

Cold Reduction/Cold Rolling

ASPL has two 4-Hi Cold Reversing Mills with Automatic Gauge Control System, Work Roll Bending system. This process helps reduce thickness & simultaneously maintain the strips profile & flatness as well as shape & other dimensions under tolerance levels.

Annealing

ASPL has batch-type annealing system with 2 furnaces using HNX atmosphere. It gives bright surface finish, uniform mechanical properties, even temperature distribution.

Skin Passing

ASPL has two skin passing mills that can

process width up to 1000mm. It helps prevent stretcher/luder lines, impart desired surface finish, control mechanical & shape as per customer requirements, oiling to avoid rust. This improves the flatness and suppresses the yield point elongation.

Slitting

ASPL has Hi-speed slitting facilities with multislit cutting up to width as low as 6mm. These lines ensure no slitting burr as well as maintain close camber tolerances. Coils are slit by length and side trims are removed to obtain a uniform width throughout the coil.

Shearing/Cut-to-Length

ASPL has two shearing lines for precision blanking at high speeds. Shearing converts Coils/Strips into sheets as per customer requirements.

Job work

ASPL with its state-of-the-art facilities provides job work services to many TS16949 certified companies.
