Benxi Steel Sets New Industry Benchmark with Record-Breaking 2190mm Ultra-Wide Hot-Rolled Steel Coil
This landmark achievement pushes manufacturing limits and unlocks new efficiencies for shipbuilding, bridge construction, and the new energy sector.
[Benxi, 21 July] – Benxi Steel Plate Co., Ltd. has announced a major technological breakthrough, successfully producing a 2190mm ultra-wide hot-rolled coil on its 2300mm production line. This achievement not only sets a new world record for carbon steel hot-rolled products but also signifies a monumental leap in the company's advanced steel manufacturing capabilities, filling a critical technology gap in the market.
Pushing the Boundaries of Engineering
Pushing the boundaries of equipment design, this new width surpasses the conventional 1500-2000mm range typical for most hot-rolling mills. This success is the culmination of a dedicated R&D campaign driven by close collaboration with customers and a deep understanding of evolving market demands. This year, the Benxi Steel team progressively broke its records, producing 2175mm and 2180mm plates in May and June, respectively, before achieving the ultimate 2190mm goal.
Transformative Benefits for Key Industries
The introduction of the 2190mm ultra-wide plate offers tangible, game-changing advantages for fabricators and engineers. By directly substituting for certain medium-heavy plates, it provides:
Reduced Welding by Over 30%: In applications like new energy equipment manufacturing, the wider format significantly reduces the number of required welding joints, leading to faster assembly.
Enhanced Structural Integrity: Fewer seams result in superior structural strength and durability, a critical factor in safety-intensive projects.
Increased Production Efficiency: Streamlined manufacturing processes and less welding work translate directly into higher output and lower production costs.
Strategic Applications and Future Outlook
With its superior engineering performance, the 2190mm ultra-wide hot-rolled plate is poised for large-scale application in demanding sectors, including:
Large-diameter longitudinal submerged arc welded (LSAW) pipes for major pipeline projects
Shipbuilding and marine engineering
Bridge construction and critical infrastructure
"This isn't just about breaking a record; it's about listening to our customers and delivering a solution that directly addresses their challenges," said a spokesperson for Benxi Steel. "By providing a wider plate, we enable them to build stronger, more efficient structures with fewer welds and faster production times. This is innovation driven by market need."
