UK-based plantmaker Primetals Technologies has announced that it will deliver a continuous galvanizing line for Erdemir’s Ereğli Plant on the Black Sea coast in the second quarter of 2018. The line was ordered by Erdemir in July this year.
The galvanizing line will process 350,000 metric tons of interstitial-free (IF) steel and high-strength cold strip per year for use in the automotive industry and it will produce strip in thicknesses ranging from 0.4 to 2.0 millimeters, and widths from 700 to 1,900 millimeters.
The new line will give Erdemir a complete, end-to-end solution, which will enable high productivity, product quality and availability, while it will also open a new market segment for Erdemir.
