Chodanazar Steel
Steel production furnace

Production & Capacity

A fully integrated steelmaking operation from scrap to finished billet

Production Process

1

Raw Material Selection

High-quality steel scrap and direct reduced iron (DRI) carefully sourced and inspected for impurities.

2

Induction Melting

Advanced medium-frequency induction furnaces melt raw materials at temperatures exceeding 1,600°C with precise control.

3

Ladle Refining

Molten steel is refined in the ladle, where alloy additions and deoxidation achieve target chemical composition.

4

Continuous Casting

Multi-strand continuous casting machine converts molten steel into solid billets with controlled cooling.

5

Cooling & Cutting

Billets are transferred to the cooling bed and cut to specified lengths using automatic gas cutting torches.

6

Quality Testing & Dispatch

Each heat undergoes spectrometric analysis, visual inspection, and dimensional verification before dispatch.
