CISDI to supply new 3-strand slab casters for Ruifeng Steel

CISDI will package-supply 2-set 3-strand slab casters for Ruifeng Steel in Tangshan.

China’s largest hot-rolled narrow strip producer and a key supplier in China, Ruifeng Steel is an integrated steelworks in Tangshan City in the Hebei Province. Its site carries out sintering, ironmaking, steelmaking, continuous casting and hot-rolling.

Two new slab casters will each produce 200mm-thick slabs to a width of 900-1,230mm. Their annual production capacity will total 3.10 million tonnes. The grades to be cast are carbon structural steel, quality carbon structural steel and alloy steel.

The 3-strand slab caster has been proposed in response to upstream BOF tonnage and downstream rolling demand.

A highly-efficient secondary cooling system, gap-free segments, butterfly ladle turret and other optimal process arrangement and equipment structures are proposed in the technical specification.
