Nova Hut says it has received input materials from Germany’s Benteler Group in new dimensions at its medium section mill for operational testing.
The delivery is part of a growing cooperation with the steel and tube division of Benteler, Kallanish learns from an online post by the Czech steelmaker. It notes that it is testing various steel grades of the semi-finished products.
From Benteler’s mill in Lingen, Germany, Nova Hut has received square billets for the direct rolling of bars and smaller profiles, and blooms, which require a greater degree of formation, it says.
“In addition to our medium section mill’s standard portfolio, we will use these materials to produce OTB bars (threaded and anchor bars),” Nova Hut says. OTB bars are used in construction, geotechnics, tunnelling and mining.
In August, the steelmaker reported that it was sourcing billets from 7Steel Nordic, a division of Czech company Sev.en Global Investment.
