Beam-Blank Casting

Beam-Blank Casting Results in Fewer Passes in the Section Mill, Reduced Energy Use, and Lower Production Costs

Near-net-shape casting is an energy-efficient alternative to conventional bloom casting for the production of beams and sections. The most significant advantages can be achieved by directly coupling the caster to the rolling mill. The special mold-taper design from Primetals Technologies offers a large operating window that accommodates various casting speeds and steel grades. This also enables the production of high-quality structural beams with a broad range of product dimensions.
