(To see brochure in new window)
- 0- Scrap Yard: Scrap is shorted and handled, being loaded into scrap baskets according to melt shop’s requirements.
- 1- Electric Arc Furnace: Scrap is melt in electric arc furnaces. Molten steel is decarburised and dephosphorised.
- 2- Ladle Furnace: Molten steel from electric arc furnaces is deoxidised and desulphurised. Chemical analysis of molten steel is adjusted according to steel grade requirements and the required temperature is reached. Molten steel is also refined in ladle furnace.
- 3- Continuous Casting: In this process stage, molten steel is solidified. For this, molten steel is poured from the ladle into the tundish and then into the mould, where molten steel solidification is started. The solidified strand is cut into slabs in a pendulum shearing machine.
- 4- Tunnel Furnace: Slab temperature is homogenised when passing through the tunnel furnace, keeping temperature at the required level.
- 5- Rolling Mill: Slabs are rolled passing throughseven rolling mill stands to reduce thickness from 60 mm on slabs to 1/14 mm on coils.
- 6- Coiling And Inspection: Hot rolled strips are coiled by means of coilers. Samples are taken from coils to perform the tests required.
- 7- Pickling Line: Rust produced on strip surface when hot rolled is removed by means of hydrochloric acid. Then strip edges are cut and strip surface oiled to prevent rusting after coiled.
- 8- Auxiliary Facilities: Shops for rolls, segments, tundishes, ladles; Gas collection and cleaning; Water treatment plant; Power sub-station. Etc.
