India´s widest slabs at Rourkela Steel Plant
Dec 20, 2008
Rourkela Steel Plant, a company of the SAIL group (Steel Authority of India Limited), ordered a slab caster for the Rourkela location in the state of Orissa.
The single-strand caster, designed as a vertical bending plant, is intended for slabs in the gages 220, 250 and 300 mm and its range of widths, from 1,300 to 2,500 mm, means that it will be producing India´s widest slabs.
The order scope comprises the basic and detail engineering, the supply of all mechanical components and the
complete electrical and automation systems, including the control systems and process models.
The equipment of the caster includes several modules which determine quality and production. Among these
are the hydraulically driven resonance oscillation system, remote adjustable mold narrow faces for width change during casting and the position-controlled Cyberlink segments for performing dynamic soft reduction. The production of slabs of a high internal quality is thus guaranteed by the above in combination with the width dependent air-mist secondary cooling and the dynamic solidification calculation process model.
Rourkela Steel Plant will mainly be casting microalloyed steels and heavy-plate grades on the caster. Through the expansion of Steelworks No. 2, RSP will increase its slab production by 1.5 million t each year.
Commissioning is scheduled for 2011.
