Slab is defined as a semi-finished steel product obtained by rolling ingots on a rolling mill or processed through a continuous caster and cut into various lengths. The slab has a rectangular cross section and is used as a starting material in the production process of flat products, i.e. hot rolled coils or plates. Our suppliers have one of the most modern continuous casting machines worldwide. The vertical bending CCM is designed to reduce inclusions (impurities) while churning out prime quality merchant slabs, at high production rates.
