Medium-Thin Slab Casting-20 Years of Ezperience in the Niche Between Conventional and Thin Slab Casting
In the late 80ies of the last century thin slab casting process development started, with the target to provide a suitable entry product for a more economical hot strip production. Not only advantages but also deficiencies had to be experienced compared to conventional strip production. By using a slab thickness between the typical thin slabs (<90 mm) and conventional slabs (>150 mm), it is possible to combine the advantages of both to a high extent. Its versatility to suit directly linked casting and rolling of any product between thin strip of around 1.2 mm and heavy plate up to 50 mm is an unbeaten feature of medium thickness. Even the thin slab route in the meantime has sorted out many of the initial problems in terms of productivity and product quality, it still lacks in operational flexibility by its nature. So there is room left for this technically and economically attractive concept, especially in times where the flexibility to adapt to changing markets might be vital.
