Background
JFE Mizushima Works is located on the site of JFE West Japan Works (Kurashiki Area). The plant was established in 1961 under the Kawasaki Steel Corporation, which was later merged with the Nippon Kohan Steel group in 2000.[1] The construction of the plant began in July 1961 and was completed in 1967 with an annual crude steel production of 2 million ton was realized at Mizushima Works, beginning with the blowing-in of No. 1 BF and start-up of the converter shop and No.1 plate mill. The equipment was steadily expanded thereafter, and an annual crude steel capacity of 12 million ton was achieved with the blowing-in of No. 4 BF and the startup of No.6 converter in 1973. Following the rapid appreciation of yen in 1985, Japanese steel industry was obliged to adopt drastic rationalization plans. Kawasaki Steel shifted crude steel production to Mizushima Works, shut down the plate mill and No.2 steelmaking shop at Chiba Works, carried out a major overall modernization at Chiba Works, and concentrated the production of stainless steel sheets and electrical steel at Chiba Works and Mizushima Works, respectively.[2]
JFE Bars & Shapes Mizhushima works currently operates a 100-tonne scrap-based electric arc furnace with a capacity of 50,000 tonnes per month.[3]
