Handan Iron & Steel, China, orders equipment for bar and wire rod mills
The Chinese company Handan Iron & Steel Co. ordered equipment for a bar mill and a mill train for the wire rod mill. The project is scheduled to be completed by late 2010. Handan ordered a rod outlet for the wire rod mill at the end of 2009.
Handan Iron & Steel Co. plans to increase its production capacity and widen its range of products with the new long-product rolling mills in Handan. The bar mill will produce some 800,000 tonnes of special bar quality (SBQ) steels per year. Siemens is supplying the mechanical equipment which includes a six-stand roughing mill, an eight-stand intermediate mill and a six-stand pre-finishing mill. All the rolling stands are based on Red-Ring technology. A three-stand sizing mill completes the bar mill. The scope of supply also includes parts of the cooling system, pinch rolls, a convertible dividing shear, a fixed cold shear with a cutting force of 1,200 tonnes, guides, equipment for the oil-air lubrication system as well as spare parts, including 15 rolling stands.
The wire rod mill will have a roughing and an intermediate mill, each with six stands, and a four-stand pre-finishing mill, including guides and oil-air lubrication systems. These plant components will complement the rod outlet that Handan Iron & Steel had previously ordered from Siemens. When complete, the wire rod mill will be able to process about 700,000 tonnes a year of standard carbon and alloy steels as well as bearing and spring steels. Siemens VAI is also responsible for engineering the two rolling mills.
Handan Iron & Steel Co., which is part of the Hebei Iron & Steel Group Co. Ltd., is one of China's leading steelmakers and produced over 33 million tonnes of steel in 2008.
