NMDC Steel Limited (NSL) commenced trial production of Hot Rolled Coils from its Rolling Mill on 30 June, 2023.
The team of NSL, MECON & Danieli completed the integrated trial runs by charging 70mm semi rolled plates sourced from the Rourkela Steel Plant. This was followed by Ghost Rolling and other synchronisation activities on 29 June 2023 which culminated in taking slabs in the Tunnel Furnace on 30 June 2023, resulting in successful rolling of Hot Slabs.
This state-of-the-art Hot Strip Mill is supplied by technology provider Mis Danieli, Italy. After stabilisation, it will produce around 2.89 Million Tonnes of Coils, Sheets and Plates of different grades.
The HR plates manufactured in the plant will be widely used for LPG cylinders, bridges, automobile grades, pipes, storage tanks, boilers and railway wagons.
