POSCO Orders Vertical Annealing Furnace for New Galvanizing Line
11/19/2015 - The Fives engineering group has won a contract to design and build a high-performance vertical annealing furnace for a POSCO plant, the company has announced.
The furnace is to be installed on a new hot-dip galvanizing line at POSCO’s Gwangyang Works in South Korea.
The continuous galvanizing line (CGL) is the seventh at the steel works and is being added to support production of galvanized steel, galvannealed steel and advanced high-strength steels. The line will be capable of producing 500,000 tons annually.
Fives will outfit the line with its latest generation Stein Digiflex vertical annealing furnace, which offers the patented Flash Cooling technology, which operates at a high H2 rate (up to 65 percent H2), and the latest AdvanTek radiant tube combustion system fueled by coke oven gas.
Fives supplied two other vertical annealing furnaces and the plant. The furnaces, which are on CGL No. 5 and CGL No. 6, help make exposed panels and high-strength steel grades.
