Donghai
Special Steel’s new slab caster passes hot test
CISDI’s
package-supplied slab caster 2 for Donghai Special Steel has passed its hot
test on three consecutive heats.
Slab produced
had a cross section size of 200mm x 1,010mm and a steel grade of Q195. The casting speed was 1 metre per minute.
To upgrade the
product mix, a pair of new two-strand slab casters has been
created in the Meltshop 1 which previously housed an eight-strand billet
caster.
The target
specification of slab is 180-200mm in thickness, with a reserve thickness of 210mm, and 900mm-1,300mm in length.
The daily
output of qualified slabs should reach 5,000 to 6,000 tonnes, and the annual
capacity target is around three million tonnes.
Most of the
cast slabs will be directly hot-charged via the roller table to the rolling
mill.
