Abstract

Today, investors worldwide are looking and waiting for new signals from steel market to understand where to direct and dedicate their money, energy and resources for possible alternative business. Because of uncertainty in the market, steelmakers are looking for more flexible operation to catch the changing market demands. The scope of this paper is to explain the complicated project for a new 6-strands Continuous Casting Machine designed, supplied and commissioned by CVS Technologies for the integrated steel plant of Arcelor-Mittal Temirtau located in the city of Temirtau, Kazakhstan. Besides, the paper describes the not easy development of the CCM design due to the very tight and congested plant layout with respect to the specific end-user requirements in term of production, flexibility and maintenance. The paper also illustrates the achievements of this particular billet CCM for what concern high casting speeds, wide production flexibility and low environmental impact, as well as the applications of the latest engineering developments in the continuous casting fields.
