The new caster is designed for a total capacity of approx.900.000 tpy of stainless steel slabs covering the complete range of stainless grades,including AISI 300 and 400 families(austenitic,ferritic and martensitic grades).This state of the art caster for the production of 215 mm thick slabs replaced an existing thin slab caster. This paper resumes the reasons of the installation of the new plant designed,manufactured erected and commissioned by Danieli and describes the technological solution,main features as well as the excellent results of this state of the art caster.展开更多
