Italian plantmaker Danieli has announced that it has revamped the slab caster at ArcelorMittal’s wholly-owned subsidiary Industeel in Belgium. The revamped plant is designed to produce special steel grades up to 355 mm in thickness and 2,200 mm in width, including stainless steel grades.

The complete dismantling and construction activities were performed by a Danieli Engineering team within the four-week shutdown period agreed with Industeel.

This revamping project allows AM Industeel to increase its production capacity and broaden its production range to include larger sizes, and to enhance its product quality thanks to the newly installed soft reduction system.

After the successful start-up and on-time completion of the industrial commissioning, in the next few weeks both AM Industeel and Danieli are looking forward to casting the first 355 mm stainless steel slab, which will be the thickest stainless steel slab in the world.
