According to the company, Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe's new continuous casting line 4 is one of the largest single investment projects of recent decades. The new SGA 4 will be part of one of the most modern production networks in the European steel industry, it adds. The whole is considered a central component of the strategy to make steel production at the Duisburg (Germany) site future-proof, efficient, and sustainable. Equipped with high-tech automation and casting technology, the facility enables highly precise, flexible, and productive slab production with significantly improved shape accuracy and surface quality. According to the company, the successful production of the first slabs is an important milestone on the way to the full commissioning of the new plant complex, which will happen step-by-step in the coming weeks. This also includes the new, fully automatic slab warehouse and the fully modernized hot strip mill 4 with a new roughing stand and two new walking beam furnaces.

Largest Modernization Project at Thyssenkrupp Steel

The SGA 4 replaces the previous casting and rolling line and forms an integrated plant network with the new hot strip mill 4, according to the steel experts in Duisburg. This aims to further expand the production of high-quality steel grades with the highest demands on strength, dimensional accuracy, and surface quality – particularly for applications in e-mobility, lightweight construction, and the energy sector. The slabs produced in the SGA 4 are used, for example, as transformer steels to support the energy transition and as dynamo steels to promote e-mobility. The Bruckhausen large-scale project is one of the largest modernization projects in the history of Thyssenkrupp Steel, and the central investment package within the Strategy 20-30. Its goal is also to manufacture profitable premium products, to further expand technology and quality leadership and to adequately serve key markets.
