SMS Millcraft and our Oil City, Pennsylvania, Division supply broad-face and narrow-face mold plates for conventional slab, bloom, thin-slab and near-net-shape casters. We can recondition; recoat using the full range of hard-facing coatings; and restore both conventional and high-speed caster molds to their original specifications. We also modify copper plates, manufacture new ones and are the only source for UniGuard™ Mold Coatings, which provide unique hardness and heat resistance.
We custom design and build the highest quality molds and provide technical and manufacturing services plus customer service programs to track performance, analyze cost and efficiently manage copper inventories. We also manufacture, repair and calibrate gauges that help improve mold and continuous caster performance.
A world-renown leader in the repair of continuous casting molds and their subcomponents, such as broad-face and narrow-face assemblies, breakout avoidance systems and width change mechanisms, we can refurbish continuous casting molds manufactured by all major OEMs. Using our technical expertise, we can also improve equipment designs to maximize caster speed and improve caster efficiency.
SMS Millcraft's solutions-oriented troubleshooting services are tailored to a caster’s operational requirements and use an experienced technical staff, thermal analysis and stress modeling to help ensure peak performance, maximize product quality and reduce downtime.
More information on our mold and coating services is available on the "Literature downloads" page of this site.
