In a statement, Danieli said the mill will produce rebars in diameters ranging from 12 mm to 40 mm. The mill will consist of four housingless stands followed by two 4-pass finishing blocks, it said, and will be equipped with an advanced, multi-strand slit-rolling system as well as in-line water cooling system. The cooling system will enable production of ultra-fine grain rebar.  

“The ultra-fine grain process allows product flexibility, low deviation for mechanical properties, stable and tight product tolerances, and OpEx savings, based on product mix, all while supporting high production rates,” Danieli said. 

Start-up is scheduled for August 2020.
