Italian plantmaker Danieli has confirmed that it is supplying a meltshop and rebar mill for Jordan- based Mass Global Investment's new steelworks project in Kurdish northern Iraq.
The plant will have an annual capacity of one million mt and will start production in Q1 2012. It will include a 120-mt EAF, a ladle furnace, and a five-strand continuous caster for 130 mm and 150 mm billets.
Billets will be hot charged by linking the caster directly to the reheating furnace. The rolling mill will produce 10-32 mm rebar and will have a 16-stand continuous mill plus a six-pass, high-speed twist-free finishing block.
