Guangdong Guangqing Launches Stainless Steel Upgrade Project
Project Approval and Environmental Review
The project focuses on stainless steel quality improvement and a new continuous casting line.
Local authorities are reviewing it publicly from September 17–23, 2025.
Technological Upgrades and Production Capacity
The expansion is located in the Yangjiang High-tech Industrial Development Zone.
Four 70-ton alloy melting furnaces will process ferronickel, ferrochromium, and cast iron.
These furnaces will provide an annual melting capacity of 871,000 tons.
A new continuous slab casting line will produce 400,000 tons of 400-series stainless steel slabs yearly.
The upgrade targets premium steel for automotive, appliance, and construction sectors.
Environmental and Operational Efficiency
The project uses advanced emission-control systems and energy-efficient melting technologies.
Continuous casting minimizes waste and energy use compared to traditional methods.
By staying within the existing factory footprint, the company avoids extra land use while increasing output.
Market Context and Strategic Goals
Guangqing’s upgrade addresses growing demand for high-quality 400-series steel.
The project may help the company comply with international sustainability standards, such as the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
This initiative reflects a broader industry shift toward specialized and sustainable stainless steel production.
