DAY 15 - Wugang Steel Mill
late nights and early mornings had me feeling annoyed when i woke up
headed to Wugang Steel Mill in the morning
cameras were prohibited so these pics are from the net
Some facts :
--> no. 3 biggest steel mill in china (wow)
--> sales revenue reached 63.18 billion yuan in the first six months
--> a town by itself with schools, supermarkets internal
transportation (buses, trains for goods)
a political figure brought us to where they melt the iron ore
temperature of approx 2000 deg for molten iron
chemicals and metal alloys are added to burn the impurities away and harden the steel
water to wash away the impurities during the process
hot rolling mills take slabs of steel
transformed into plates, sheets and strips
temp of 800-900 deg
the final product
the group mates
presenting everyone !
THE END
mood : dead tired
