Recently, Tangshan Iron and Steel  Welding Wires with a strip cold rolling mill successful trial, the first production 260 tons 0.8mm, 1.0mm specifications of the product, its chemical composition, physical properties, surface quality, product size all meet the standards requirements, all products have been distributed to users. As the special requirements of users of steel, Tangshan Iron and Steel in the market to increase an efficiency point. Flux Cored Welding Wires with a successful trial of the strip fills the blank of Hebei Province, flux cored wire strip.

    TYH-1 flux cored wire Strip steel is mainly used in automatic welding cored electrode surface, demanding a variety of performance indicators. The successful development and market access as soon as possible, technology centers, give full play to the company's existing technology and equipment advantages of expert advice at the same time held a number of professional meetings, organizational and technical personnel a number of occasions to Beijing, Tianjin and other places so that the steel market research established market position and development plans, through consultation and communication with the user, according to the actual needs of users.

Convertible bonds the project to reduce the financial cost of new projects in 2010 contributed revenue. Company Announcement issue of convertible bonds, is expected to raise 265 million yuan of funds each year to reduce finance costs of nearly 13 million yuan. Flux Cored Welding Wiresproject to raise funds for the investment of 400 million tons, is expected to be gradually put into operation in the coming year, along with the existing 10,000 tons of flux cored wire production (the first half output of 05,000 tons) is projected to 2010 four-quarter, the company will form the 50,000 tons of Welding Electrode  production, full production contributed revenues of 550 million yuan, the gross profit of more than 90 million yuan, will become the next two years, a new growth point.
The conversion price of 14.55 yuan / share, to bring support for the current stock price.
