OREANDA-NEWS. June 01, 2011. The Nanyang Hanye Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. 3# continuous casting machine installation project undertaken by the Electromechanical Branch of CMTCC produced the first billet successfully after stand-alone test run, zero load linkage test run, simulating delivering dummy ingot, etc, and thermal load linkage test run, reported the press-centre of MCC Limited.

Before the test run, the Electromechanical Branch of CMTCC Hanye project department made sufficient preparation work such as professional personnel allocation, overhauling tools and machinery and fire fighting facilities, etc, to coordinate the thermal load test run by the Owner. In this thermal load test run, the ingot blank section was determined as 300?2100mm and its length was 36.6m. The equipment operated normally in the test run process and the plate blank generated complied with production requirements, which were highly commended by the Owner and the design institute.

The maximum section of the design ingot blank of this continuous casting machine was 400mm?2700mm and the casting machine radius was 12m, being the largest section straight arc plate blank continuous casting machine. Its operation not only laid solid foundation for Nanyang Hanye Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. to build the world class wide and heavy plate production base but also added new achievements for CMTCC in the region of large scale plate blank continuous casting machine installation.
