| The First H-Shape Plant in Taiwan (Tung Ho
Steel Miao-li Works) Zenjiro Watase, Kazuki Ogasahara |
|
Synopsis : A new H-shape plant was constructed by Tung Ho Steel Enterprise Corp. at Miao-li Works in north-central Taiwan with cooperation by Kawasaki Steel in all aspects of the project. The plant, which is the first of its kind in Taiwan, comprises the processes from the electric arc furnace to the H-shape mill. In August 1993, satisfactory startups were achieved with a 110 t DC electric arc furnace and three-strand continuous casting machine for beam blanks and blooms. The H-shape mill started operation in October of the same year. As one feature of this plant, it is possible to charge hot semi-finished products into the reheating furnace. The H-shape mill has performed smoothly since the start of rolling, and test rolling of 14 sizes of H-shapes and flat bars was completed in April 1994. All the products fully satisfy JIS requirements for shape and dimensions, and the H-shapes produced by the plant have been well received in the market. |
