Reference:
Advances in Cold Rolling Technology: Sendzimir Z-High® Cold Rolling Mills in the 1980s. At the beginning of 1985, the steel and non-ferrous industries found themselves in a bind -- they were faced with low consumption, shrinking markets, higher costs, increased quality demands, and lower prices. This was not an enviable position, particularly as it followed three decades of relatively good prosperity.
