摘要

"The CSP? plant (Compact Strip Production) supplied by SMS Siemag, Germany, to the Indian steel manufacturer Essar Steel Ltd. at Hazira in Gujarat was successfully put into operation on March 31, 2011. The first strip had a final gage of 5.5 mm and a width of 1,290 mm. The plant went into operation with one casting strand and will be successively extended in the next few months by the second and third strands. Essar Steel will thus have the first three-strand CSP? plant worldwide with an annual capacity of 3.5 million t of hot strip.
