New Danieli large bloom caster in operation at Valin Xiangtan

摘要

Valin Xiangtan has successfully started up the brand new, 14-m 5-strand bloom caster from Danieli after less than 13 months from the contract signature. This is the first caster in the world operating with different withdrawal units along the line performing simultaneous soft and hard reduction, to further optimise internal quality - particularly on high-carbon grades - which tend to exhibit higher porosity and segregation.
