Meishan Steel China benefits from
Tata Steel's expertise
The members of the team from Tata Steel
is rewarded for making their mark in china
Tata Steel’s expertise as a steelmaker as well as its
position as a world class steel company was recently acknowledged when Meishan Steel,
China, sought technical assistance from it.
The Chinese steel maker was faced with the problem of
attaining a 0.010% phosphorous level from input hot metal containing more than 0.2% of it,
along with silicon levels of 0.3%. The iron making unit of the company is very old. Its
steel making, continuous casting and hot strip mill though recent, have been set up with
second hand equipment.
The technical experts appointed by Meishan
attempted to solved the problem but the effort proved futile. It then asked Tata Steel to
assist since the company has extensive experience in the area.
The company has planned an ambitious
product mix for which low phosphorous steel making is necessary. The technical experts
appointed by it attempted to solve the problem but the effort proved futile. It, then,
asked Tata Steel to assist since the company has extensive experience with blowing similar
hot metal phosphorous conditions.
A team of three members, comprising M/s Debasis
Das, Satyajit Sanyal and S N Singh, from LD #2 were nominated by the company to travel to
Meishan. The metallurgists studied the problems and developed a solution for the various
input conditions to ensure consistent turndown conditions. Meishan, thus, achieved the
targeted Phosphorous levels.
For their excellent work and the laurels that they brought Tata
Steel, the trio were felicitated by the Managing Director, Mr B Muthuraman at the General
Dialogue held on February 20. They were also awarded citations and presented laptop
computers.
