Italian plantmaker Danieli has announced that its QSP-DUE® technology has achieved new industrial milestones at Chinese steelmaker Shougang Jingtang United Iron & Steel (SGJT), further strengthening the technology’s position in direct casting and rolling for flat steel products.
According to Danieli, the QSP-DUE plant at SGJT has produced more than 10 million mt of hot rolled steel since its startup, proving its long-term operational reliability, high productivity and consistent product quality under full industrial conditions.
The plantmaker also stated that the facility produced over 420 mt of hot rolled coils in a single roll campaign at thicknesses of 0.8 mm and below, reaching as low as 0.7 mm, fully in endless mode. Danieli noted that achieving such production volumes at ultra-thin gauges represents an important technological validation of its casting and rolling concept, one of the most challenging areas in flat steel production.
The SGJT facility is among several QSP-DUE installations currently operating or under execution worldwide, contributing to Danieli’s expanding reference base for advanced flat steel production technologies.
