Italian plantmaker Danieli has announced that it has received an order from South Korea-based steel producer POSCO for a new electromagnetic stirrer to be installed on its slab caster No. 1 at its second plant at the Gwangyang Works. The new electromagnetic stirrer using Danieli’s MM®-EMS technology will replace the existing mould technology to produce slabs at high quality.
The slab caster No. 1, which is subject to the upgrade, is a two-strand caster producing 800-1,600 mm-wide, 250 mm-thick slabs, in ultra-low, low, medium and high carbon grades, and will be the 13th caster at POSCO to operate with Danieli Rotelec MM®-EMS technology.
