Abstract
Technological developments in slab casting have introduced numerous significant improvements in mechanical and automation design, and in the associated process technology, enabling recent caster installations to operate with performance levels remarkably better compared to earlier caster installations. Global Players in developing countries had maintained some degree of competitiveness through reduced man power costs, and subsequently benefited from the (then) latest technologies integrated with their newly commissioned plants. As such, the broad base of steel producers now have added incentives to initiate comprehensive cost-effective renovation plans for their casters: Even in times of budget restriction policies, such cost-effective actions not only prolong the technical longevity of their plants but also prepare them with the latest technological developments, maintaining their competitiveness. Danieli Davy Distington’s experience includes the world’s first production slab caster to its current installations, including the development of the latest casting technologies, coupled with experience in existing plant upgrades, tailoring solutions that range from limited budget applications of technological packages to major caster revamping. There are many incentives for slab casting renovations, incorporating the technological packages developed by Danieli.
