Zenith Steel billet caster modernisation, China
Name of the Project
Zenith Steel billet caster modernisation.
Location
The project is located in Changzhou, Jiangsu province, China.
Project Owner/s
Zenith Steel Group.
Project Description
The project involves the modernisation of ten-strand billet caster at Zenith Steel’s No 3 converter steelmaking plant.
The new billet caster will be the first one worldwide to be equipped with new single-roll DynaGap (SRD) segments. SRD segments are designed for long operating cycles and easy maintenance.
The segments have been specially developed for use in the area of final solidification, and it allows for the upper rolls to be pressed down individually onto the solidifying strand. This, in turn, allows for the final solidification point, and the associated soft reduction, to be followed precisely to reliably produce billets for steel grades that require high internal quality.
