Wuyang Iron & Steel Co., Ltd., commonly called Wuyang Steel or Wugang, is one of China's best-known specialist producers of wide and heavy plate.
Production capability
Wuyang's official profile states approximately 5 Mt/year steel production and 3 Mt/year wide and thick plate. The works includes converter and electric-furnace steelmaking, refining/vacuum treatment, ingot and continuous casting, large plate mills and plate heat-treatment facilities.
Main product families
Wuyang lists plate for offshore/shipbuilding, pressure vessels, Cr-Mo and hydrogen service, nuclear, bridges, pipelines, high-strength and wear-resistant applications, low-temperature service and clad/mould applications.
Offshore/API capability
The public range includes examples such as API 2H Grades 42/50, API 2W Grades 50/60, API 2Y Grades 50/60 and EN offshore grades including S355MLO, S420MLO and S460MLO. Standard edition and thickness range must be confirmed for each order.
Classification-society approvals
Wuyang publicly lists approvals involving CCS, DNV, LR, BV, ABS, ClassNK, KR and RINA for relevant marine/offshore products. These approvals are product-, grade-, thickness- and date-specific.
Procurement takeaway
HBIS = parent group; Wuyang/Wugang = specialist heavy-plate mill. For an offshore tender, verify Wuyang itself on the current AVL and class/API scope rather than relying on generic HBIS approval.
What to reverify before an RFQ or PO
- exact legal manufacturer and works;
- current parent/ownership structure where relevant;
- current production range and size limits;
- ISO/API/class/CE/PED/FPC certificate scope and validity;
- current customer/EPC AVL/AML approval;
- seller/trading entity versus MTC issuer.
