Tangshan orders Primetals
continuous galvanising lines
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
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
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.
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.
