ABB India Limited will provide electromagnetic brake systems (EMBR) for two compact strip production (CSP) casters at Tata Steel's flagship plant in Jamshedpur, India, working under contract from engineering and construction organization SMS Group. The contract builds on ABB's large installed base with premier steel producers globally. ABB EMBR is installed on 40% of thin slab casting strands worldwide and allows for higher quality and faster throughput. This well-established technology, invented by ABB in 1985, enables steelmakers to achieve steel cleanliness similar to conventional vertical bending casters, improves casting speed and increases mold copper plate lifetime. By generating a static magnetic field, which decreases meniscus metal flow speed and turbulence, the ABB EMBR provides a whole range of metallurgical improvements including elimination of mold powder entrapments, a more even molten mold powder layer and a meniscus which is flatter, hotter and less turbulent.
