Nucor Corporation has awarded SMS group a follow-up order for the supply of reheat and heat-treatment facilities. The new equipment will be part of the new plate mill being built in Brandenburg in Kentucky. It will produce slabs of 200 to 305 millimeters thickness and up to 3,150 millimeters width.
Under the new contract, SMS group will supply a wide range of equipment, including
A walking-beam furnace for the transfer of slabs from the SMS group casting machine to the rolling mill. The furnace will be designed for slab direct, hot and cold charging. Slabs of the maximal possible length of 15,240 millimeters will be charged in a single row - shorter ones in two or three rows. As a highlight, the walking beam furnace will be fitted with SMS-ZeroFlame burners, which are characterized by extra-low NOx emissions.
For ingot reheating, SMS group is going to supply bogie hearth furnaces. These furnaces will be able to reheat ingots of various sizes.
The combustion process in all the reheat furnaces will be controlled by the proven, advanced SMS-PROMETHEUS® Level 2 technology.
Further to these supplies, SMS group’s contract volume includes additional bogie hearth furnaces and a quenching facility, which Nucor will be using for a wide range of heat treatments – from low-temperature annealing through to normalizing. The connected quenching tank with water circulation will enable Nucor to precisely set the specific mechanical properties in heavy plate.
The new casting machine will become the largest slab caster in the world. The follow-up contract now received by SMS group is for all of the new plate mill’s slab and ingot reheat equipment, for a heat-treatment line for heavy plate of up to 356 millimeters thickness and for a continuous heat-treatment line with MultiFlex-Quench® technology for plate between 4.8 and 102 millimeters thickness and up to 4,267 millimeters width.
Commissioning of the plant is scheduled for 2022
