Culminating Credentials Confirm Commercial Competence

Primetals Technologies achieved a significant milestone by securing the final acceptance certificate from Jiangsu Shagang for the comprehensive upgrade of wire rod outlet systems. The project encompassed the complete rebuild of the Morgan Reducing/Sizing Mill within line No.3 at Shagang's sixth mill facility in Zhangjiagang City, Jiangsu Province, representing the inaugural phase of several planned modernization initiatives across the steel manufacturer's production infrastructure.

Dimensional Dexterity Delivers Distinguished Dividends

The modernization initiative has yielded immediate tangible benefits for Jiangsu Shagang's operations. Finished rod products now demonstrate markedly improved dimensional tolerances & enhanced surface quality characteristics. End-users have provided overwhelmingly positive feedback regarding both metallurgical properties & dimensional precision resulting from the technological enhancement, validating the upgrade's commercial viability.

Sophisticated Systems Spawn Superior Specifications

The project's comprehensive scope encompassed cutting-edge equipment installations including new guides, a state-of-the-art Morgan Intelligent Pinch Roll, & sixth-generation laying head technology. Additional components comprised high-speed shear mechanisms positioned before the reducing/sizing mill, complemented by an extensive mechatronics package designed to optimize operational efficiency & product quality consistency.

Engineering Excellence Encompasses Environmental Enhancements

Primetals Technologies' technical contribution extended beyond equipment supply to include sophisticated engineering solutions for water-cooling line systems, Morgan Stelmor Controlled Cooling Conveyor mechanisms, & reformed tub area configurations. Comprehensive site supervision services ensured seamless integration of all technological components during the installation & commissioning phases.

Morgan Machinery Manifests Manufacturing Magnificence

The centerpiece of the upgrade involved the complete rebuild & strategic relocation of the mill's Morgan Reducing/Sizing Mill, incorporating significant improvements to external gear box systems. This high-performance rolling mill specializes in producing premium-quality steel wire rod by reducing & sizing materials to precise dimensions according to specific production parameters, enabling unprecedented dimensional accuracy.

Thermomechanical Technology Transforms Traditional Techniques

The Morgan Reducing/Sizing Mill's advanced capabilities facilitate low-temperature thermomechanical rolling processes, creating refined microstructures that substantially reduce or potentially eliminate costly downstream annealing requirements. This technological innovation allows Jiangsu Shagang to expand market penetration into high-quality rod product segments while optimizing production costs.

Partnership Persistence Produces Perpetual Progress

This successful project reinforces the enduring commercial relationship between Primetals Technologies & Jiangsu Shagang, spanning over three decades of collaborative excellence. Since 1992, Primetals has installed nine wire rod mills at Shagang's Zhangjiagang City facility, supplemented by three additional installations at the Dongbei location since 2007.

Corporate Credentials Confirm Industrial Eminence

Jiangsu Shagang Group, established in 1975 & headquartered in Zhangjiagang City, operates as a major steel manufacturing conglomerate. The company's diverse production portfolio encompasses deformed steel, special bar products, wire materials, plate manufacturing, & specialized forged steel components serving numerous industrial applications across global markets.

Key Takeaways:

• Primetals Technologies completed wire rod outlet upgrade for Jiangsu Shagang, improving dimensional tolerance & surface quality of finished products

• Morgan Reducing/Sizing Mill rebuild enables low-temperature thermomechanical rolling, potentially eliminating costly downstream annealing processes

• Project represents continuation of 30+ year partnership, comprising 12 total wire rod mill installations across Shagang's facilities since 1992
