What kind of equipment can operate for 40 years?
We brought an old photograph
Heading to Shanghai Baosteel
Met the 140 Seamless Steel Tube Continuous Rolling Mill
In the same location
We captured a new photo
Ø140mm Seamless Steel Tube Continuous Rolling Mill Equipment

2026
Just as 40 years ago
The 140 continuous rolling mill thunders before my eyes
Fiery steel pipes sweeping with heat waves
Amidst the loud clangs of steel colliding
The cheers of the builders from four decades ago
Seem to echo in my ears


Heating, Piercing, Sizing, Cooling
Under the signature fast pace of the 140 continuous rolling mill
My steps can't even keep up with the speed of steel pipe rolling
40 years, 25 million tons of steel
Capable of constructing the external steel structure of 600 "Bird's Nests"
3400 Eiffel Towers
Laying the entire railway network of China twice over
The steel pipes forged by the 140 continuous rolling mill
Have long been spread across the length and breadth of the motherland
Deeply buried in the mountains and earth



Time flies, the 140 mill still burns hot
The Taiyuan Heavy people remain true to their original aspirations
With one world record after another
Proving the confidence and strength to build a world-class enterprise
