High-efficiency quenching and tempering plants based on comprehensive process expertise

In the past, steel plate was more or less a mass-produced commodity, However, over the past few years, increasing calls for high-strength, wear-resistant special steels from downstream industrial sectors have meant that steel plate has more and more become a high-quality product. The result has been the development of a new market sector, which is likely to remain the fastest-growing sector in the steel plate industry in the future. New material grades and increasingly stringent strength, corrosion resistance and forming specifications are some of the requirements resulting from market trends towards leaner steel structures bringing greater benefits in use. In order to meet these requirements, it is necessary to deploy not only advanced rolling mill technology but also innovative heat treatment, allowing the specifications to be met in line with customers' requirements and at reasonable cost.
