BERIS Engineering & Research Corp. (BERIS) announced that, the thermal trial run for the cogging mill under the Large Bar Works of Xining Special Steel Co., Ltd., which was contracted by BERIS in an EPC manner, was successfully fulfilled on December 6, 2014. This marks that the comprehensive thermal load test will be started for this project.
Located in the plant of Xining Special Steel in Xining City of Qinghai Province, this project is regarded as the main part for the upgrading and transformation of steel rolling technique of the company. The contract scope covers a large bar production line and the roll processing workshop, the water system, the electrical system, the energy medium pipeline, the roads in the surrounding area of the workshops, railway facilities and the other auxiliary production facilities. The line for the large bar consists of one roughing mill and eight continuous mills. The leader mill area consists of one continuous flaw-detection line, the straightener unit, water descaling system, automatic grinding machine unit, annealing furnace, several manual grinding machines and ruler-change saw.
This project is designed with an annual output capability of 800,000 tons for round steel with the diameter of 80-300mm and the length of 3-12m. The steel products include carbon structural steel, structural alloy steel, carbon tool steel, alloy tool steel, ball bearing steel and stainless steel. After completion, this project will enable Xining Iron & Steel Group to achieve the leap-forward enhancement in terms of equipment capability, product mix, as well as the competence of energy conservation and environment protection.
