@@ A new Danieli State-of-the-Art Minimill for the production of special steel long products is in operation at Nucor Steel Memphis, Tennessee, USA, since 2008, after a major upgrading of the existing steelmaking and hot rolling facilities. The new equipment supplied by Danieli made it possible to revive the idled Memphis site which was acquired by Nucor through the acquisition of Birmingham Steel Corp. In December 2002. The plant’s new production cycle embraces the complete range of production processes, from steel melting to secondary refining, round bloom continuous casting, hot rolling, in-line inspection and finishing of SBQ bars.
