Hot Test Completed for Upgraded No. 2 Billet Continuous Casting Machine at Angang Steel

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On October 26, the upgrading and renovation project of the No. 2 billet continuous casting machine at No. 1 Branch of the General Steelmaking Plant of Angang Steel Co., Ltd. successfully completed a one-time hot test, finishing the hot-load trial run after equipment modification. The project officially commenced on September 4 and was completed in 53 days, focusing primarily on upgrading the performance of continuous casting equipment, process control precision, and intelligent capabilities. The No. 2 billet continuous casting machine is responsible for producing casting billets required for key products such as heavy rails at Angang Steel. This modification centered on improving billet quality stability and production line equipment capacity.

During project implementation, the General Steelmaking Plant coordinated on-site construction, equipment production scheduling and supervision, and design drawing work. A construction management approach featuring "three-dimensional layered control, planar zoning, and grid-based responsibility assignment" was adopted to coordinate different construction areas and specialized work tasks, completing equipment upgrades and hot test preparations within the established modification schedule.

During the hot test on October 26, management personnel from Anshan Iron and Steel and Angang Steel inspected the project implementation, equipment commissioning, and quality control on site. The General Steelmaking Plant will subsequently carry out stable production work focused on post-modification equipment operation, production process adjustments, and billet quality control.
