Abstract

On July 18, 2005 Siemens VAI received an order from Mittal Steel Poland (Mittal Steel Group) for the turnkey supply of a new high-capacity hot-strip mill in Krakow, Poland. The mill, which will be capable of rolling 2.4 million t/a of a wide range of carbon, stainless and special steel grades in widths of up to 2,100 mm, will be one of the widest hot-strip mills in Europe. Start-up is scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2007. This paper outlines the project background, scope and technological highlights of this project.
