AG der Dillinger Hüttenwerke Dillingen
operating pre-retirementAG der Dillinger Hüttenwerke AG · BF–BOF Integrated route · Dillengen, Europe, Germany
AG der Dillinger Hüttenwerke Dillingen makes steel by the integrated route: iron ore is smelted into liquid hot metal in a blast furnace, then refined into crude steel in a basic oxygen furnace. The liquid steel is solidified into semi-finished shapes by continuous casting. The plant has a crude steel capacity of about 2.8 million tonnes per year. Its main products are structural, plate.
