Abstract

IN A MARKET DRIVEN BY CONTINUOUSLY INCREASING PRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS WITH INCREASINGLY SPECIALIZED STEEL GRADES, HIGHER QUALITY, AND THE CLEAR NEED TO REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND LOWER THE CARBON FOOTPRINT; THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE DEMAND FOR A NEW PLANT CONCEPT THAT COMBINES THE ADVANTAGES OF THE CONVENTIONAL HOT STRIP MILL AND CSP® TECHNOLOGY. THE PLANT THAT MEETS THESE REQUIREMENTS IS CSP® NEXUS. HIGH CASTING THROUGHPUT OF MEDIUM-THICK SLABS, TOGETHER WITH A TWO STAGE DIRECT ROLLING PROCESS VIA INDEPENDENT ROUGHING AND FINISHING MILLS BRINGS THE ADVANTAGES OF BOTH WORLDS TOGETHER.
