SMS group to Supply Rebar Mini-mill

February 3, 2023
No Comments

YK Steel of Korea commissioned SMS group to supply a new mini-mill with integrated melting, casting and rolling and including all electrical and automation systems. Instead of relocating and upgrading an existing plant, YK Steel instead opted for a completely new mini-mill that will start production in 2025 at the company’s Dangjin site. YK Steel will use the mini-mill to produce reinforcing steel with diameters ranging from 10 to 35 mm (0.39-1.4 inches). The products manufactured in the mini-mill will be sold as 6- to 12-meter-long (20- to 39-foot-long) packages with a maximum weight of 450-550 kg (992-1,212 pounds) and large packages weighing up to 2 tons.

No Comments

North American Stainless (NAS) will proceed with a $244 million expansion to its production facility Ghent, Ky. The expansion will boost the company’s total capacity by 200,000 tons annually, a 20% increase, and add 70 new jobs. For its 13th major expansion since 1990, NAS will build a new cold-rolling mill and temper mill; upgrade its annealing and pickling lines to support the new rolling mill; and expand its melt shop to include a 400-metric-ton crane. The continued importation of subsidized stainless steel, and the accompanying national security threats, made the expansion a pressing priority.

Partners to Evaluate Green Ironmaking Plant

January 13, 2023
No Comments

Primetals Technologies, together with its strategic partners Mitsubishi Corp., Fortescue and voestalpine, signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at designing and engineering an industrial-scale prototype plant with a new process for net-zero-emission ironmaking at voestalpine’s site in Linz, Austria. The collaboration will also investigate the implementation and operation of the plant. The new ironmaking process will be based on Primetals Technologies’ HYFOR and smelter solutions. HYFOR is a direct-reduction process for iron-ore fines that will not require any agglomeration steps, like sintering or pelletizing. The smelter technology is a furnace powered by electrical energy. It is used for melting and final reduction of direct-reduced iron (DRI) based on lower-grade iron ores. In that way, it produces alternative green hot metal for the steelmaking plant.
