A new stainless steel bar reheating furnace has been successfully commissioned and put into formal operation at the group’s overseas production base, marking a key milestone in the enterprise’s localized manufacturing layout and global stainless steel supply chain deployment. The equipment is designed for high-quality stainless steel billet heating before rolling, supporting the stable supply of stainless steel bars for local and regional downstream markets.
After civil construction, equipment installation, pipeline connection, single-machine debugging and linkage hot test, the long bar induction heat treatment line completed the first batch of stainless steel billet heating and rolling trial production. All core indicators including heating temperature uniformity, discharging rhythm and safety interlock system met design standards. The project team overcame cross-border coordination, site adaptation and technical docking challenges, formulated customized commissioning plans, and carried out multi-round parameter optimization to ensure a seamless transition from construction to commercial production.
Adopting walking-beam heating structure and low-NOx staged combustion technology, the furnace realizes precise multi-zone temperature control for stainless steel billets. It effectively reduces temperature difference between billet head and tail, lowers surface oxidation and decarburization, and improves the yield and surface quality of finished stainless steel bars. Compared with traditional heating equipment, the new furnace raises thermal efficiency, cuts unit fuel consumption and reduces flue gas emission, balancing high productivity and low-carbon operation. The intelligent control system supports real-time temperature monitoring, automatic combustion adjustment and production data tracing, adapting to diversified production of 200, 300 and 400 series stainless steel grades.

The launch of the reheating furnace is a core part of the overseas plant’s capacity upgrading. With the supporting rolling line, the plant can realize integrated processing from billet heating to finished bar rolling. It shortens delivery cycles, reduces cross-border logistics costs and tariff pressure, and better serves customers in machinery manufacturing, automotive, petrochemical and engineering sectors. The localized production will help the company respond faster to regional order fluctuations and strengthen market competitiveness in the local stainless steel long product segment.
In the design stage, the furnace fully considered local environmental regulations and carbon reduction requirements. Equipped with waste heat recovery and flue gas treatment facilities, it can recycle part of high-temperature flue gas heat for air preheating, further cutting energy consumption and carbon footprint. The project complies with local safety and environmental standards, and the stable operation of low-emission heating equipment helps the plant achieve sustainable production and build a green benchmark for the local special steel industry.
The official start-up of the reheating furnace demonstrates the group’s determination to deepen global industrial layout. By exporting mature heating and rolling technology, equipment standards and operation management experience, the enterprise promotes overseas base from simple processing to high-value localized manufacturing. Next, the plant will continuously optimize production scheduling, expand product specifications and strengthen after-sales technical service, to build a stable, efficient and green stainless steel bar supply hub and lay a solid foundation for further exploring overseas high-end special steel markets.
