Changbao Steel is well known for its seamless extruded stainless steel pipes. The company invested in a completely new extrusion line for the production of these tubes.

After 8 months of intensive cooperation between extrutec and Changbao, the production acceptance took place at the extrutec group subsidiary TCT Induktionstechnik in Menden. A total of 32 customised induction furnaces were manufactured for the process-accurate heating of high-alloy stainless steels for various material dimensions with an installed system output of approx. 9 MW. In addition to the induction furnaces, this complex project also included various auxiliary equipment, switchgear and other system components. The equipment will be commissioned by extrutec in early 2025.
