Focus Area

• Production Route Design, Logistics & Tendering Support
• Strategic Metallurgy & Process Development

Short Description

In this feasibility study, qoncept developed two layout options for a new rolling mill tailored to the needs of a Chinese steelmaker. The focus was on high-speed and die steel production. The project explores two configurations: a fully continuous mill and a reversing mill. Both configurations start with ingots and aim to achieve the final product dimensions in a single heat. The study includes process flowcharts, layout concepts, equipment lists, and indicative roll pass designs for various products (wire rods, round and square bars, and flat bars). The final report recommends a split-line configuration to enhance operational flexibility, increase yield, and better align with quality assurance practices in tool steel production.

Focus Area

• Production Route Design, Logistics & Tendering Support

Short Description

qoncept conducted a conceptual engineering study for a new special steel meltshop covering all core process areas, including scrap yard, electric arc furnace (EAF), ladle furnace (LF), vacuum treatment (VD/VOD) and ingot casting. The scope included an on-site project alignment meeting and the preparation of a rough layout, a recommended equipment list, and high-level investment estimates. The study focused on establishing a coherent process route and evaluating the required main equipment while excluding auxiliary systems such as fume extraction, water treatment, and electrical grid support. The results provide a strategic basis for further planning, budgeting, and technical decision-making.
