JIANGSU SHAGANG TO INCREASE HIGH-GRADE STEEL MANUFACTURING

摘要

China’s Jiangsu Shagang Group Company (Jiangsu Shagang) has placed an order to Primetals Technologies to supply the third twin-ladle furnace to its steel plant in Zhangjiagang, according to the engineering company’s statement. A new 140-tonne unit will be added to the existing two 120-tonne LFs. As a result, the producer will increase crude steel treatment capacity to 2.8 million tpy. Also, the new ladle furnace will improve liquid steel quality for use in a continuous casting machine and allow for development of high value added products. The project completion is scheduled for late Q2 2019.
