ZapSib’s continuous billet caster produces billets with sections of 150 x 150 mm and 150 x 200 mm, while its continuous slab caster produces slabs of 200-250 mm thickness and of 1,050-1,750 mm width. The products in question are manufactured for export.
The new steel grades will allow Evraz to expand the product range of its continuous slab and billet casters, to improve the properties of its steel products according to customer requirements, and also to increase the competitiveness of ZapSib’s products.
