摘要

Siemens VAI Metals Technologies received two separate orders from Korean steel producer POSCO to provide engineering and key equipment at its production sites in Gwangyang and Pohang, Korea. At POSCO's new green-field steel mill in Gwangyang, Siemens will install a 250-tonne LD converter and offgas system, an RH degassing plant, and a 2-strand slab caster. The new steelmaking and plate rolling facilities at the Gwangyang works will process a total of 3.2 million tonnes of slabs, comprising low-, medium- and high-carbon steel grades, as well as alloyed steel grades, rolling them into high-quality plates for use in shipbuilding, boiler and pressure vessels, and pipe production. Siemens Metals Technologies will provide engineering and key equipment.
