Upgraded cut-to-length Ghedi production line to handle SSAB steels up to 1350MPa
By this autumn, SSAB Swedish Steel S.p.A. in Ghedi, Italy will be able to cut ultra-high strength SSAB steel coils to virtually any length. In addition to a broader product offering, the cut lengths will also have improved surface quality and flatness — critical for precision applications, including laser cutting.
Currently limited to cutting steel coils with yield strengths of 700MPa or less, the upgrade to 1350MPa/6.5mm thickness capability will enable the SSAB Steel Service Center in Ghedi to supply cut-to-length sheets of higher strength grades from coils, including most hot-
