According to Germany-based plantmaker SMS Siemag, Bahru Stainless, the Malaysian subsidiary of Spain-based stainless steel producer Acerinox, has successfully rolled the first strip on the new 20-roll cold rolling stand at Bahru Stainless SDN BHD in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

The new 20-roll cold rolling stand supplied by SMS Siemag is a part of a new production facility for cold rolled specialty strip. The rolling mill processes austenitic and ferritic strip grades with widths of up to 1,320 mm and entry gages of up to 6.35 mm, and rolls them down to final gages as thin as 0.15 mm.

The first stage of the new production facility in Johor Bahru has an annual capacity of up to 240,000 mt of cold rolled strip, while the cold rolled specialty strip capacity is planned to be increased to 600,000 mt per year after the next stage is completed.
