As a big steel production capacity country, China's steel industry has formed a large-scale and regionalized steel production model after a long period of development and reform. The number of annual steel production and steel export volumes has been climbing. As a result, China's steel production plants play an important role in the world's steel industry. These plants not only have excellent steel production capacity but also participate in the research and development of steel production standards in China or the world. For foreign customers importing steel products from China, it is essential to know about these steel mills and their brands. Because of language differences, some customers may not know the names of the steel mills and their English equivalents, so we have created this article in the hope that it will be helpful to our customers.

In this article, CSMC will focus on several famous steel mills, such as Beijing Shougang, Shanghai Baosteel, and Hebei Jingye. At the same time, CSMC will organize the names of large steel mills in China and match their Chinese names and abbreviations with their English abbreviations for customers' reference.

CSMC undertakes to strive for the accuracy of the information used and the objectivity and fairness of the content and opinions stated in the information in the process of collection and collation but does not guarantee that it will be subject to necessary changes.

Saving energy and protecting the environment is an important task for Jingye Group at present and in the future, which is related to the survival and development of the enterprise. Jingye Group has effectively changed its development philosophy, intensified energy conservation, emission reduction, and environmental protection work, and eliminated outdated equipment and processes. The company has invested nearly 2 billion yuan in energy conservation and environmental protection, including two sewage treatment plants, dust removal equipment, gas cabinets, 50,000 Kilowatt gas power generation, steel slag treatment, sintering machine desulfurization projects, etc. The improvement of the above-mentioned facilities enables all water to be recycled without discharge, and all dust meets emission standards. Therefore, all resources are fully recycled, which greatly improves the environmental conditions of the group and surrounding areas. All resources are fully recycled and utilized, which greatly improves the environmental conditions of the group and its surrounding areas, and realizes the recycling and reuse of "three wastes". All blast furnaces use the residual pressure on the top of the furnace on the TRT power generation, which cost savings of 20 yuan. The new steam-waste heat recovery project, with a total installed capacity of 30,000 kilowatts, can generate annual benefits of about 70 million yuan.
