en.Wedoany.com Reported - From May to June 2026, steel projects across multiple regions in China, including Hebei, Jiangsu, Liaoning, Inner Mongolia, Fujian, and Guangdong, have been intensively launched, put into operation, or undergone trial runs. These projects cover areas such as casting and forging, cold-rolled silicon steel, blast furnace overhaul, scrap steel recycling, steel cord, supercritical power generation, and seamless steel pipes, with a total investment exceeding 10 billion yuan. Among them, the 200,000-ton casting and forging integrated project of Yongxiang Special Metallurgy and the 600,000-ton cold-rolled silicon steel project of Kairong Group have commenced construction, while the seventh plant of Zhongtian Huai'an Steel Cord and the 145MW supercritical power generation project of Hebei Xinda have officially entered operation.
On May 6, the 200,000-ton high-quality alloy steel casting and forging integrated production line project of Hebei Yongxiang Special Metallurgy New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. broke ground in Yongnian District, Handan City. The total investment for the project is 10.72 billion yuan, covering an area of 1,360.79 mu. The first phase involves an investment of 7.079 billion yuan, with a construction period from 2025 to 2026. Within five years of completion, the project is expected to achieve a cumulative output value exceeding 50 billion yuan, with an annual revenue of 4.5 billion yuan and the creation of 2,000 new jobs. On May 20, the 600,000-ton high-quality cold-rolled silicon steel project of Kairong Group's Jinzhou base held its groundbreaking ceremony in the Jinzhou Economic Development Zone. Once fully operational, it is projected to generate an annual output value of 3.6 billion yuan, with profits and taxes of approximately 100 million yuan, and create about 350 jobs. On the same day, the overhaul of WISCO's No. 5 blast furnace and the renovation of its hot blast stoves, undertaken by Shanghai Baoye, commenced, adopting a circular iron casting platform structure to enhance efficiency.
Delong Steel Industry Group plans to invest 2 billion yuan to establish a renewable resource recycling division in Tianjin, building two large-scale scrap steel recycling and processing bases. Construction is expected to start in July, and upon completion by year-end, the scrap steel processing capacity will reach 3 million tons. The seventh plant of Zhongtian Huai'an Steel Cord Co., Ltd. commenced full production on May 9, adding 11 alloy lines with an annual capacity of 280,000 tons of high-end steel cord, bringing the company's total capacity close to 600,000 tons. On May 12, Hebei Xinda Steel's 145MW supercritical power generation project officially entered operation, with a total investment of approximately 510 million yuan. Utilizing self-developed technology, the project's power generation efficiency set a world record, boosting the company's self-power generation rate to over 80%. On May 13, the ESP endless rolling production line of Zhongshou Special Steel successfully completed its first hot trial run, with the initial batch of finished coils produced, achieving full-process intelligent linkage. On May 15, the upgrade project for the 1350mm vertical continuous hot-dip galvanizing line for high-end home appliance sheets in Guan County, Shandong, undertaken by Huangshi Shanli Technology, was put into operation, taking only 55 days from shutdown to production. On May 18, the 1450mm six-high reversible cold rolling mill of Jiangsu Baohua Metal successfully completed its trial run. Recently, the annual 100,000-ton special seamless steel pipe project of Henan Jinyu Special Steel Pipe Co., Ltd. entered operation, with an expected annual output value exceeding 500 million yuan. On May 31, the titanium plate electric heating furnace project for the hot continuous rolling line of Anyang Iron and Steel's No. 2 Steelmaking and Rolling Plant was completed and put into operation, addressing the shortfall in high-end titanium material rolling capabilities.
Additionally, the 150,000-ton high-carbon ferrochrome project of Inner Mongolia Xiaolong is expected to begin trial production in June, the steel products processing project of Zhangping Longjia steel is racing towards an August launch, the second phase of Anshan Zizhu Light Special Steel is planned for full production in August, the 1.6-million-ton digital cold rolling base of Chaoyang Meifugan is scheduled for trial production in September, and the 1-million-ton ferrochrome project of Fengzhen Xinsheng is set to be operational by the end of December. The 1780mm hot continuous rolling production line for the second phase, third zone of the 8-million-ton high-quality special steel project of Guangdong Jinshenglan is expected to commence production in November 2027. Another project, the φ860 hot-rolled seamless steel pipe production line with a total investment of 1.2 billion yuan, is planned for trial production by the end of November.
The intensive implementation of these projects will significantly enhance the high-end, green, and intelligent levels of China's steel industry, driving local employment and industrial chain upgrades.
