Nippon Kyushu Works (Oita Area, Oita)
operatingBF–BOF Integrated route · Oita, Asia Pacific, Japan
Nippon Kyushu Works (Oita Area, Oita) 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 10.0 million tonnes per year. Its main products are sheet, plate.
