Abstract

The increased demand for quality, productivity, reduced emissions and reduced OpEx have driven Danieli to continuously develop the most efficient long products minimills, by means of endless operation from caster to rolling mill, the MI.DA® technology. This paper represents the milestones of each development to match the demands from long-products manufacturers. From square billets high-speed casting, increased by application of Power Mould® and FastCast Cube (FCC) mould oscillator technologies, to the breakthrough and patented development of Octocaster® mould, which is the state-of-the-art in long products lines, with high yield equivalent to two (2) additional weeks of production if compared to conventional Minimills.
