The vertical bending caster will be equipped with a host of quality-defining technological features, all of which meet Nucor’s high standards. In addition, a customised strand guide, an ultra-fast cooling section, and a secondary cutting line will be supplied.
SMS group’s scope of supply for the new heavy-plate complex also includes the whole reheating system for slabs and blooms, a heat treatment facility for heavy plate with a thickness of up to 356 mm, and a continuous heat treatment facility with MultiFlex-Quench^® for heavy plates that are 4.8 to 102 mm thick and up to 4,267 mm wide.
“We are proud to partner with SMS on our new steel plate mill. This is the largest capital investment project in our company’s history and when it is completed and operational, we’ll be one of only two companies that can produce essentially all of the plate sizes consumed in the U.S. today,” said Johnny Jacobs, Vice President & General Manager, Nucor Steel Brandenburg.
The SMS group congratulates Nucor on the groundbreaking ceremony and looks forward to continued good cooperation.
