After the expenditure of more than 1.000 man-years in laboratory, pilot plant and engineering studies, the first large-scale commercial continuous slab casting facility in the Umted States is now undergoing break-in operation at our Gary, Indiana Steel Works, This new unit transforms molten steel into high quality, 40-foot slabs in less than an hour. Conventional processing takes many hours, sometimes days.

The continuous casting process is a close companion of basic oxygen steel-making, and thjee basic oxygen furnaces have replaced 17 open hearth furnaces in the Gary mill. They feed the steel to the continuous casting unit, which provides slabs for a hot strip mill Soundi It li! For over fifty years we have fpecialized in tmderwTiting Church, School and.
