WISDRI-contracted continuous casting projects increased steadily throughout the year. Since the summer time, many of them had achieved critical milestones or had been prepared for greeting significant milestones.

On June 8, the 2# 6-strand slab caster passed hot test, announcing a new caster in operation at CFZT Steel. It is worth mentioning that two month ago, the 1# 3-strand slab caster just went into production.

On June 7, the 4-strand slab caster of CYVT Technology Co., Ltd. went on stream.

On May 26, hot test at Fujian GDHC Group carried out smoothly, adding a new one to the company's reference list of R10m billet casters. In the meantime, the 2# dual-strand slab caster was undergoing individual test and about to be commissioned soon.

In addition, the 2# 8-strand billet caster was under integration test at Tianzhu Steel, Hebei Province.
