Background

In May 2018, Liu Steel Group underwent a restructuring and acquired Zhongjin Company. It officially entered the Longtan Industrial Park and laid out plans to construct a stainless steel base with an annual production capacity of 5 million tons. The first phase of the project expanded the existing capacity to 2 million tons of iron and 1.2 million tons of steel, with a total investment of 5.6 billion yuan. The nickel-iron smelting project achieved trial production in May 2021, producing 5,000 tons of molten iron daily with a daily output value of 25 million yuan.The second phase of the project aims to establish a new production capacity of 2 million tons of 400-series stainless steel, with a total investment of 8 billion yuan and planned land area of 2,100 mu.As for the third phase of the project, they plan to construct a new production capacity of 2 million tons of 300-series stainless steel, with a planned land area of 2,400 mu.[1]

A 1680m3 blast furnace has been completed and entered the trial operation phase in May 2021.[2][3][4]

Since late 2023, the company has been carrying out technological transformation of the steelmaking system, dismantling the existing 600t mixed-iron furnace and building a new set of 50t alloy melting furnace, which can achieve an annual output of 1.2 million tons of stainless steel after the completion of the project.[5]
