CR SS line put into operation in Jiuquan

It is reported that the first cold rolled stainless steel production line in West China came on stream on November 26th 2007 in Jiuquan Iron & Steel Co Ltd. The line can yield high grade 300 series and 400 series CR stainless strip steel with annual capacity of 530,000 tonnes.

At an investment of CNY 2.4 billion, the construction started on April 17th 2004.

The expansion project is the core part of the first stage of JISCO’s stainless steel project. It includes nine production lines and units such as one cover type annealing furnace, one HR strip annealing pickling line, one CR strip annealing pickling line and so on.

The production is scheduled with annual capacity of 350,000 tonnes of HR stainless annealing pickled stainless steel and 180,000 tonnes of CR stainless annealing pickled stainless steel. The first batch of products is on sale after production start up in this July 2007.

JISCO thus becomes the third domestic steelmaker boasting whole stainless steel production system, following Baosteel Group and Taiyuan Steel.
