announcement is that; it removes from the conventional process, of
steelmaking the most massive, and-expensive parts of such plants, such
as equipment for ingots, soaking pits, and the. blooming mill.
Instead,
continuous casting; permits passing, directly
from the melt to .semi-i
finished sections ready for secondary mills with the result that not
pnly is the capital cost for a, given, output greatly. reduced, biifc also
maintenance and operational costs,. The, work accomplished to datd
makes it clear that for the production of: relatively:small quantities
