Xuanhua Iron & Steel, subsidiary of one of China's leading steelmakers Hebei Iron & Steel Group, has contracted with Austria-based plantmaker Siemens VAI for the supply of a double strand wire rod mill. The new plant will enable the steelmaker to enter markets for higher quality products. Delivery is scheduled for the first quarter of 2011.
 
The new rolling mill will be located in Xuanhua, Hebei Province. The new equipment will enable Xuanhua to produce rods from 5 mm to 25 mm in diameter, and rebar (plain and HRBF) from 6 mm to 16 mm. Products will include standard high carbon and alloy steel, cold heading steel, bearing steel and spring steel. Depending on the product mix, each strand will produce approximately 500,000 to 600,000 metric tons per year for both the domestic and overseas markets.
