Combined Casting and Rolling
Established in 2018, Tangshan Quanfeng is owned by Donghua Steel, part of the Shuoyin Group. Donghua Steel has an annual capacity of 5.5 million tons of liquid steel and produces high-strength rebar for the domestic and international markets. Its endless casting and rolling process features vital equipment and process control systems from Primetals Technologies.
Thinner and Stronger
Quanfeng’s strip is thinner than conventional products, less than 1.5 millimeters thick, and has higher strength. At about 180 meters, this combined casting and rolling process is far more compact than conventional casting and rolling plants. Thanks to this innovative solution, both energy consumption and CO2 emissions are heavily reduced.
PTTS was established in 2017 and is a joint venture between Primetals Technologies and HBIS Tangsteel. It is headquartered in Tangshan and has operations in several locations in China. PTTS provides comprehensive services in offline maintenance, equipment refurbishment, condition monitoring, and operational support for slab casters.
