Hubei Province-based Chinese steel producer Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd (WISCO) has announced that it has successfully developed WHD585E steel plates, which are third generation steel plates for pressure-bearing equipment in nuclear power stations.
Up to now, demand in China for third generation steel plates for pressure-bearing equipment in nuclear power stations has mainly been met by US manufacturers.
In the past few years, WISCO has supplied second generation steel plates for application in nuclear power stations to Fuqing Nuclear Power Station and Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Station.
