Tangshan orders Primetals continuous galvanising lines

The two galvanising lines now ordered from Primetals Technologies are part of the second expansion stage intended to create production capacities for these steel grades. The lines will process not only grades for vehicle body parts but also aluminium- coated hot-forming steel. Primetals Technologies is responsible for the engineering, manufacturing and supply of the mechanical, electrical and process technology equipment for the lines. Galvanising line no 5 will have a capacity of around 250,000 metric tons per annum. It will process cold strip in widths ranging from 850 to 1,300mm, and thicknesses from 0.18 to 1.5mm. Galvanising line no 6 will be able to galvanise 400,000 metric tons of cold strip per annum in widths ranging from 850 to 1,600mm, and thicknesses from 0.5 to 3mm. There will also be the possibility of coating the cold strip with an aluminium-silicon alloy. The new lines will be integrated into the cold rolling mill plant’s existing quality control system. Primetals Technologies will also supervise the assembly and commissioning of the lines. Primetals Technologies Ltd – UK Website: www.primetals.com

for high-strength, coated metal sheets by 650,000 metric tons per annum. The sheets will mainly be used by the automotive industry. Continuous galvanising lines nos 5 and 6 will be constructed in a new hall alongside the existing cold rolling

TANGSHAN Iron and Steel Group, a Chinese steel producer, has awarded Primetals Technologies an order to supply two continuous galvanising lines to expand cold rolling mill no 2 at its Tangshan plant in Hebei Province. This will increase the production capacity

mill, which was also supplied by Primetals and has been in production since the beginning of 2015. The two new continuous galvanising lines are scheduled to come into operation in 2017. A special aluminium-silicon coating technology package will be implemented on one line. Cold rolling mill no 2 comprises a coupled tandem pickling line, a continuous annealing line and a galvanising line. The mill has an annual capacity of 1.8mn metric tons of high-strength cold strip, and also produces high- quality steels for the Chinese automotive industry.
