Siemens receives rolling mill order from ATI for the world's most powerful hot-strip mill to roll highly diversified and sophisticated steels and alloys

Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (ATI) awarded a major contract to Siemens VAI Metals Technologies GmbH to design, engineer and supply a complete integrated hot-rolling mill on a process turn-key basis. The new mill will be part of a new advanced specialty metals hot-rolling and processing facility and will be built at ATI Allegheny Ludlum in Brackenridge, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. It will be capable of rolling a wide range of stainless steels and other specialty alloys at widths exceeding 2,000 mm. The rolling forces will be the highest ever to be applied in a hot-strip mill. The numerous technological packages to be included in the supply scope will assure that the highest technological demands will be met.
