According to the Italian plantmaker Danieli, US-based Nucor Steel’s endless casting rolling mini-mill in Sedalia, Missouri, commenced operations on January 31.
The new mill has an annual capacity of 380,000 short tons of straight rebars from 12.7 mm to 35.8 mm and spooled bars and it provides energy-saving and environmentally-friendly melting, casting and rolling processes.
Danieli also said that it is building another mini-mill for Nucor in Frostproof, Florida.
Nucor expects to expand its market in new strategic areas in the US following the launch of its Sedalia mini-mill.
