The world’s strongest Al-Si plated coil was recorded when Ansteel Cold Rolling Plant’s galvanising line 3 discharged its first hot-test.

The coil had a strength of 2,000MPa and this achievement marks the highly successful launch of Ansteel’s Al-Si plated coil heat treatment technology.

The plant’s original line had been operating since 2005 and was rebuilt to meet today’s market demands for upgraded products.

CISDI Thermal and Environmental Engineering Co designed and supplied the critical equipment for the rebuild, which adds high-end Al-Si plated coil production to Ansteel’s existing galvanised (Zn-plated) coil expertise.

This line, which is based in the Liaoning Province, marks another chapter in CISDI Thermal’s new plating technology and application, superseding its leading expertise of Zn-Al-Mg plating.
