The aforementioned continuous process
merely takes 3.5 hours in conversion of steel scraps
and pig iron into the HRC, conforming to the international
quality specifications for domestic as well as international
markets. It is the sole mill in Thailand and one
of very few in the world that is able to produce
HRC at the lowest thickness of 1.0 mm. At present, G Steel has the de-bottlenecking investment plan to increase the annual production capacity from 1.8 million tons to 3.4 million tons. It will also introduce production lines for high quality products, i.e., a skinpass line and a pickling and oiling line to thoroughly respond to customers’ demands. |
