Direct Rolling of As-Cast Billets
Growing fuel oil prices are adversely affecting the price of finished hot rolled products thereby making it difficult for the mills to compete in the market. To overcome this difficulty, more and more bar mills are now looking for rolling of as-cast billets taken directly from continuous casting machines. The concept has been successfully tried in various mills.
ANT also offer solutions to mills for direct rolling of as-cast billets. ANT has done complete engineering for a bar mill to produce TMT bars without reheating furnace and induction heating. The mill is expected to commission in the first quarter of 2014.
