Technology Frontier 274: Breakthroughs in Casting & Steel Production

The world record of continuous casting round billet with 1.2m diameter will be broken, CFHI company is manufacturing diameter 1.6 meters oversized cross-section round billet vertical semi-continuous casting machine, is the world’s first set. After the commissioning of this equipment, the maximum length of casting billets can be cast 12.5 meters, single weight 200 tons, the material loss rate is controlled within 10%, which will significantly improve the utilization of materials, reduce the cost of production of forgings, improve the quality of forgings and production efficiency and the degree of automation.

Flue Gas Circulating Pre-Reduction Sintering Process declared by MCC ChangTian was awarded the 24th China Patent Award of Excellence. The sintered ore produced by this method has developed pores, low oxygen content and good metallurgical performance, which is a high-quality charge structure for blast furnace to improve quality and increase production, save energy and reduce consumption, and effectively solves the problems of long reduction time, poor permeability of the material layer and low production efficiency in blast furnace ironmaking.

HISCO Handan Iron and Steel Company is the first company in China to launch 1500MPa level martensitic steel MS1500 with air cooling process, and all the indexes of the product fully meet the demand of automobile safety structure parts, especially the plate shape straightness and surface quality are better than the same level of water quenching and cooling process products. This product is the highest strength level of air-cooled annealed cold-formed steel in the industry.
