INTECO Announces Start of New Mini-Mill 

The facility includes a 60-ton EAF; a secondary metallurgical complex equipped with a ladle furnace, a vacuum degasser/vacuum oxygen degasser (VD/VOD) and argon oxygen decarburization (AOD); and expanded casting facilities. 

“Notably, the casting area features conventional ingot production with a teeming car and a complete advanced teeming system. Additionally, the complex boasts the INTECO segment caster, which is capable of producing ingots with diameters of up to 1200 mm,” INTECO said in a statement. 

The start-up of the entire steel mill and its gradual ramp-up to full capacity will take place through this year, INTECO said.
