The heat treatment and galvanizing of the first coil marked the start-up of the new continuous galvanizing line built for Angang (Angang Guangzhou Auto Steel Co.) near the city of Guangzhou in the province of Guandong, China. As one-source supplier, SMS group (www.sms-group.com) was responsible for the engineering, the process, furnace and galvanizing technology as well as the electrical and automation systems for the complete plant. Upon completion of the commissioning phase, the line will be able to produce 450,000 tons of galvanized or galvannealed steel strips per year, serving the automotive and home appliances industries in South China and the Pearl River Delta. Most notably, deep-drawing grades and high-strength steels for the automotive industry will be produced, including modern dualphase steels. Aside from automotive structural components, strips with a high-quality steel surface will be produced for use in exposed vehicle parts.
