Mastering a technology for the lengthwise cutting of continuous-cast slabs

  • Published:
Metallurgist Aims and scope

Abstract

A new technology has been successfully introduced for cutting continuous-cast slabs into semifinished products that are then rolled on a 150 section-rod mill to obtain quality products. Introduction of the technology has freed up some of the deficit capacity of the 1250 blooming mill and the continuous 900/700/500 intermediate mill, allowing them to be used to make high-profit items that have brought additional revenue to the combine.
