Hoa Phat Dung Quat Integrated Steel Complex upgraded its QSP® line with Danieli’s Seven-Life Hydraulic Side Guides to enhance rolling stability and hot-rolled coil (HRC) quality. This phase two modernization builds on a line that has produced over 6 million tonnes since 2020. Post-upgrade, the line achieved a continuous casting speed of 6 m/min while maintaining a minimum strip thickness of 1.2 mm. Annual capacity expanded from 3.5 million tonnes to 3.9 million tonnes, covering low- and medium-carbon, LC/MC HSLA steel grades, and weathering steel.
