Summary: Maanshan Iron & Steel (MaSteel) in China has achieved a remarkable feat by simultaneously starting two new Danieli casters for producing high-quality jumbo blooms and billets. Completed within 14 months, these brownfield projects reflect the successful collaboration between Maanshan and Danieli technical teams. The innovative four-strand jumbo bloom caster, featuring the world's largest 18.5-meter radius, will yield quality rounds mainly for power, energy, and rail industries. The 12-meter-radius billet caster will generate quality billets with advanced soft/hard reduction processes. Danieli's advanced automation system and cooling controls enhance the casting precision.A Remarkable AchievementIn a remarkable display of technological prowess, Maanshan Iron & Steel (MaSteel) has successfully initiated two new Danieli casters simultaneously for producing high-quality jumbo blooms and billets. These two brownfield projects have been completed within a span of just 14 months, showcasing the synergistic collaboration between Maanshan and Danieli's technical teams.World's Largest Jumbo Bloom CasterAt the heart of this endeavor lies the world's largest four-strand jumbo bloom caster, boasting an 18.5-meter radius. This innovative caster will be instrumental in producing superior-quality rounds ranging from 600 to 1200 millimeters in diameter. These products are primarily targeted for applications in industries such as power, energy, and rail, including rail wheel production. The caster's efficiency is further enhanced by its top-feeding dummy bar, designed to maximize productivity and minimize restranding times. This sophisticated design is augmented by a suite of withdrawal and straightening units, ensuring the precision and integrity of the final products. The caster's operation incorporates state-of-the-art technologies encompassing mold, strand, and final stirrers.Advanced Billet Caster TechnologyComplementing this achievement is the 12-meter-radius billet caster, equipped with advanced features such as Danieli Fast Cast Cube, mold, and final stirrer. This technology enables intricate soft/hard reduction processes on billets, optimizing their quality. By employing a combination of twin and single modules, the caster accommodates a diverse range of high-quality steel grades, including bearing and high-carbon structural grades.Unveiling Danieli's Automation ExcellenceBoth casters are underpinned by Danieli's cutting-edge automation system, integrated into the existing L2 plant automation. The Danieli Liquid Pool Control System ensures precise and balanced secondary cooling, contributing to enhanced casting precision and efficiency.A Legacy of SuccessThese accomplishments mark the fifth and sixth long-product caster projects that Danieli has undertaken for Maanshan since 2000. Over the past 23 years, Maanshan has garnered the capability to yield up to 6.8 million metric tons per year of continuously cast long products, all while maintaining the exceptional quality and reliability synonymous with Danieli's expertise
