Italian plantmaker Danieli has announced that it will supply two long product lines to Taiwanese steel producer Feng Hsin Iron and Steel (FHS). The two plants will be scheduled to start operations by mid-2017.
The first line will be a new high-speed bar mill to produce 745,000 mt per year of deformed bars. This rolling mill will be linked directly to the existing four-strand caster, with an induction heater to increase billet temperatures before rolling.
In the second contract, Danieli will install a new rolling mill for square products and large rounds in coils, for quality grades. This new line will replace Feng Hsin’s outdated coiling line, with the target of improving finished product quality in terms of surface defects and mechanical properties.
