Chubu Steel Plate Nagoya plant, also known as Chubu Nakagawa Works, is a steel plant in Ousudori, Nakagawa, Nagoya, Chūbu, Japan that operates electric arc furnace (EAF) technology.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Ousudori, Nakagawa, Nagoya, Chūbu, Japan:
- Location: 5-1 Ousudori, Nakagawa-ku, Nagoya 454-8506 Japan
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 35.118836, 136.867567 (exact)
Background
Chubu Steel established two 30-ton electric arc furnaces at Nagoya factory in 1958, and added one 200 ton electric furnace to the plant in 1962. The 200 ton EAF was converted to eccentric bottom tapping method (EBT) in 1990.[1]
In October 2021, Chubu Steel announced their plan to install a Ecoarc-Fit at the Nagoya factory, expected to start operations in 2023.[2][3] The 60 year old electric arc furnace was retired in July 2024[4], and the new EAF began operations in its place in October 2024.[5][6]
