en.Wedoany.com Reported - The new heavy plate heat treatment line project at Xinyu Iron & Steel Co., Ltd., contracted by China's metallurgical engineering enterprise MCC Capital Engineering & Research Incorporation Limited (CERI) and implemented by its subsidiary Beijing CERI Phoenix Industrial Furnace Engineering Technology Co., Ltd., has successfully ignited and commissioned its core process equipment—the quenching furnace and tempering furnace—in early June 2026, officially entering the hot commissioning phase. Located in Xinyu City, Jiangxi Province, China, the project aims to enhance the production capacity of special steel through advanced heat treatment processes, strengthening Xinyu Steel Group's competitiveness in the medium and heavy plate market.
As the project's general contractor, MCC Capital Engineering & Research Incorporation Limited is one of the earliest professional design institutes in China's metallurgical industry, established in 1951, and is now a core subsidiary of China Minmetals Corporation, a Fortune Global 500 company. Its subsidiary, Beijing CERI Phoenix Industrial Furnace Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Phoenix Furnace"), founded in 1992, is one of the earliest national high-tech enterprises in China dedicated to the full lifecycle management of industrial furnaces, specializing in industrial furnace technology research and development and engineering contracting. According to the company's official website, the subsidiary holds over 100 industrial furnace-related patents and has received more than 40 national and provincial-level scientific and technological achievements and engineering awards. Additionally, the company has recently been selected for the ninth batch of China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's list of manufacturing single champion enterprises, earning national certification for its core competitive advantages in the industrial furnace specialty field.
The project faced severe challenges of a tight schedule and heavy workload. Amid complex conditions such as simultaneous construction of two furnaces, overlapping work during the Spring Festival holiday, and intensive cross-operations, the project team scientifically coordinated efforts while strictly adhering to metallurgical construction safety standards. The construction team worked continuously for 99 days and nights, ultimately completing all engineering tasks on schedule. Once operational, the project will significantly enhance Xinyu Steel's production capacity and quality levels in high-end special steel and heavy plate heat treatment products.
Xinyu Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. (stock code: 600782) is one of the backbone enterprises in China's steel industry, jointly restructured and controlled by China Baowu Steel Group. The company currently has an annual comprehensive production capacity of approximately 10 million tons of steel, including 7 million tons of plate products per year. In 2024, Xinyu Steel achieved total operating revenue of approximately 17.512 billion yuan.
The successful entry of these two heat treatment furnace production lines into the hot commissioning phase marks a key engineering milestone for Xinyu Steel in enhancing its heavy plate heat treatment capabilities and advancing into the high-end plate market.
