On January 16, the load test of the cold rolling unit of the new thin plate production line of Panchangte was a complete success. The main rolling mill selects a four-high reversible rolling mill with high rolling pressure, the main drive control system of the rolling mill adopts AC speed regulation, the rolling mill adopts electric pressing down + hydraulic AGC mode, which has the function of pressing down APC positioning, and the linkage equipment data setting can complete automatic operations such as automatic positioning of front and rear guide plates, self-inspection of product size, automatic switching of passes, material micro-tracking, and pressure tilt control, which will greatly improve rolling efficiency, accuracy and product yield.
February
On February 13, Shiheng Special Steel's annual output of 800,000 tons of high-performance composite materials project started, with a total investment of 2.6 billion yuan, mainly upgrading galvanized aluminum production lines, and new 2 cold rolling and 2 galvanized aluminum magnesium production lines. The project aims at the high-performance composite sheet market, develops in the direction of refinement and high added value, realizes the transformation from the production of intermediate products to end products, and promotes the transformation of the steel industry to high-end. The product adopts the world's leading HCD reduction production process and zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy coating technology with independent intellectual property rights, and the uniformity, corrosion resistance and service life are more than 2 to 6 times that of traditional plates. The project is a typical case of industry restructuring and revitalization of stock assets, Shiheng Special Steel reorganized the assets of the original Henderson New Materials Company, optimized the layout of the plant, transformed and upgraded the original production line, revitalized idle assets, and resolved the problems left over from history, which is of great significance to promote the harmonious development of economy and society.
