Meigang commissions RH furnaces

It is reported that RH furnace smelting model was successfully exploited by Meigang, a subsidiary company of Baosteel Group. The model was put into trial operation in last September and both the quality and performance are better than the expected standard.

The success of the model is beneficial in raising ability of RH furnace, raising products quality, enlarging the range of products varieties and in reducing the cost of materials. Meanwhile, it also provides experiences in technology extension and in model exploitation and application.

Mr Duan Ruiyu the academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering said that 210 tonnes converter whole set automatic steelmaking technology in Qiangang under Shougang Group is excellent. It is the first automatic steelmaking technology that is totally self designed and exploited and self manufactured in China.

The smelting cycle would be averagely reduced by 16.8%. The investment in the project could save CNY 22.62 million than importing the technology from abroad. After the project is commissioned, it would earn a direct economic profit of CNY 14.76million.
