09/22/2025 - Shougang Jingtang has turned to Fives for an annealing furnace for the continuous galvanizing line No. 9 at its Caofeidian facility in Tangshan City, China.
Fives said the line is designed for automative steel grades with a production capacity of 450,000 metric tons annually. The new vertical annealing furnace, Stein Digiflex®, will feature the AdvanTek® combustion system and a FlashCooling® rapid cooling system.
“With this new contract, Shougang Jintang and Fives reaffirm their successful collaboration over 20 years in the field of exposed and high-strength steel grades for the automotive industry, from advanced research to industrial implementation,” said Stéphane Mehrain, vice president of marketing and sales, steel global sales at Fives.
The FlashCooling system has operational flexibility for cooling rate control, temperature cycle control and uniformity of cooling. The furnace will be designed to give Shougang Jingtang full flexibility in controlling the furnace atmosphere management. The company said this is important for achieving the required metallurgical targets and galvanized surface quality.
“We are honored to take over the implementation of this new annealing furnace for CGL No. 9, combining our latest process technologies with the extensive expertise cultivated by our teams,” said Mehrain.
Shougang Jingtang has been operating six Stein Digiflex annealing furnaces at the Caofeidian facility since 2005.
