Company Information
Graz, March 28, 2017. International technology Group ANDRITZ has received an
order from steel producer Nucor to supply turn-key production lines for its new
specialty cold rolling mill complex at the company's sheet steel mill in
Hickman, Arkansas, USA. Start-up of the plant is scheduled for the second half
of 2018. The 650,000 short ton p. a. expansion project will increase Nucor
Steel Hickman's production of specialty grades, including third-generation,
advanced high-strength steels, high-strength low-alloy steels, and
high-efficiency electrical steels.
The ANDRITZ METALS scope of supply includes a high-performance push pickling
line with line speeds of up to 200 m/min for pickling hot-rolled carbon steel.
Besides complete ANDRITZ in-house electrics and automation, an advanced ANDRITZ
multi-roll leveler for highly effective shape correction and a powerful ANDRITZ
4-high skin pass mill are included. Thanks to the multi-roll-leveler and the
skin pass mill, the push pickling line will achieve superior material flatness
in addition to the well-known, excellent ANDRITZ strip surface.
The order also comprises a reduction cold rolling mill equipped with the
ANDRITZ S6-high technology as well as a temper rolling mill in 4-high design,
including reduction mode (prepared for future S6-high mode as well). With
rolling speeds of up to 800 m/min, the mills process advanced high-strength
steel of the third generation and even beyond for material grades of up to
2,000 MPa. All rolling units (skin pass, reduction, and temper mill), which are
operated with state-of-the-art ANDRITZ in-house electrics and automation, are
equipped with correspondingly fast and automated roll change equipment,
integrated bridle rolls, advanced strip drying, and gauge controls to ensure
tightest tolerances.
Nucor Corporation, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, is the
largest steel producer in North America and the largest "mini-mill" steelmaker
(i.e. it uses electric arc furnaces to melt scrap steel as opposed to blast
furnaces to melt iron). The company is also North America's largest recycler of
any material.
