German plantmaker SMS Demag AG has received a major order from German-based steel producer Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH (SZFG) for the construction of a slab caster X-Cast in Salzgitter, Hannover.

The new slab caster will produce slabs of widths ranging from 1,100 mm to 2,600 mm, in thicknesses of 250 and 350 mm, and is expected to be commissioned in the beginning of 2010

SMS Demag will supply the basic and detail engineering, all mechanical components and the complete X-Pact® electrical and automation systems, including control systems and process models. The order also includes solid structures and structural steelwork, a new water supply and treatment system as well as erection, commissioning and supervision. The order will be handled on a turnkey basis.

With the new slab caster Salzgitter Flachstahl will be able to produce highly demanding micro-alloyed steels, heavy-plate grades and sour gas-resistant tube and pipe grades according to the API-5L and HIC standards.
