SMS Siemag to modernize hot strip mill at Baosteel

摘要

Baoshan Iron & Steel (Baosteel) has awarded SMS Siemag, Germany, a contract for the modernization of its hot strip mill No. 1 in Shanghai, China. The order comprises the supply of a new slab sizing press and primary descaler as well as the revamp of a roughing stand. The modernization is designed to increase the production of both the hot strip mill and the continuous caster and to allow the two production stages to be more flexibly coordinated. With an edging force of 22,000 kN, the slab sizing press will reduce the slab width by up to 350 mm in one pass.
