摘要

Siemens VAI Metals Technologies received an order from Posco E&C (Posco Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd.) for the installation of a new steel mill which will be built at Posco's existing steelmaking facilities in Pohang, Korea. The project includes the engineering and the supply of key components, equipment and systems for two LD (BOF) converters, a twin-station RH degassing plant and two ladle-treatment stations. The new plant, scheduledfor completion in the first quarter of 2010, will be capable of producing 4.65 MT of carbon-, alloyed- and special-steel grades per year, 1.3 MT of which will be cast in an ultra-thick-2-strand-slab caster which Siemens VAI is currently supplying. The slabs will be subsequently rolled to plates for use in, for example, the shipbuilding industry as well as for the construction of pipelines.
