CSP® Nexus

The path toward casting and rolling of Green Steel

Main data

The CSP® Nexus concept is the new benchmark in thin slab casting and rolling with respect to productivity, flexibility and product spectrum. It takes full advantage of high throughput casting and the latest developments in hot rolling, and it utilizes batch and endless operation where this is beneficial. CSP® Nexus is a modular concept with maximum flexibility for a tailor-made solution and can be expanded with for example a second casting strand, lateral slab feeding, induction heating or a high-speed shear for endless operation. It can be designed to run fully electrical and is ready to produce emission-free, green steel. As a result, CSP® Nexus increases and enhances the product mix compared to other combined casting and rolling plants in terms of steel grades and strip dimensions. The first CSP® Nexus is currently under construction at Steel Dynamics Inc. and will start production in 2021.
