Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH, the largest steel subsidiary of the Salzgitter Group, has placed an order with SMS Siemag for the construction of a near-net-shape caster in Peine, Germany. A fundamentally different and worldwide unique casting concept will thus be implemented for the first time on an industrial scale and enable the casting of new high-strength steels.
The advantages of the Belt Casting Technology are considerable energy and CO2 savings compared to conventional steel production. Furthermore, it enables the industrial production of HSD steels (High Strength and Ductility).
Says Ulrich Grethe, CEO of Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH: "In addition to an unusual formability, HSD steels have a high strength and are thus ideally suited for use in automobiles. The use of HSD steel plates here helps to conserve resources: Lighter, fuel-efficient vehicles can be built because compared with conventional steels, these light structural steels allow a higher reduction in weight.
