Hasçelik, a company of Faydasıçok Holding, has signed an agreement with SMS Concast for the supply of a new four-strand billet/bloom casting machine for its new steel plant in Osmaneli/Bilecik, Turkey.
Hasçelik is a manufacturer of hot-rolled special steel, cold-finished bright special steel, and grinding balls. As Turkey's largest bright steel exporter, with rolling mill facilities and an extensive steel service center network across the country, Hasçelik ranks among Turkey's top 200 industrial enterprises. To ensure the group's continued growth, Hasçelik has decided to establish its own steelmaking plant, equipped with vacuum degassing and ladle furnace technologies.
The new four-strand billet/bloom casting machine will be equipped with state-of-the-art technologies, including Convex molds, the Condrive mold oscillator, Conflow stopper control for submerged casting, and electromagnetic stirrers in both the mold and final zones. Additionally, an integrated and modernized automation and process system will be used to ensure the high quality of the cast products.
The new continuous casting machine is scheduled to be commissioned in the fourth quarter of 2024. It will produce a wide range of steel grades, including low, medium, high, and micro-alloyed steels, with billet sizes ranging from 160x160 mm to 240x240 mm, primarily for the automotive, machinery, and aerospace industries.
