Michelin builds light truck tire factory in Mexico

According to a recent report from France, Michelin is already advancing its plans for a new tire factory in Mexico. It is committed to investing US$510 million, which will take more than two years to establish a new car light truck tire manufacturing plant in Guanatona, Mexico. This also made Michelin's official confirmation of the Michelin project in Mexico, which began in April.

The construction area of ​​the plant is approximately 142,000 square meters, and construction will start in the second half of this year. It is expected that the tire production will begin in the fourth quarter of 2018. The output is expected to reach 400-500 million/year. As for the number of expected employment opportunities that can be provided, Michelin did not disclose it.

A Reuters news agency also reported that Michelin plans to establish a US$510 million tire factory in Mexico. The city where the tire factory is located has 1.2 million inhabitants and is very close to their sales market. The factory is only about 3 hours drive from Mexico's 18 largest automaker factories.

Michelin said that with the rapid growth of the Mexican automotive market and the confidence that the world’s largest automaker has chosen to cooperate with Michelin, Michelin has decided to establish this new factory. The new plant will help Michelin continue to expand its North American market and gain a leading edge. The factory mainly produces car original high-performance tires, and the short distance from the car manufacturer means that Michelin can deliver the products to customers faster and save costs. It also reduces carbon emissions and better protects the environment.

The plant is the 21st factory in North America and the 69th factory in the world (including the Queretaro factory, which has been operating since 1987). Michelin North America has revealed that in order to support its sustainable development strategy since 2011, Michelin has accumulatively invested over US$3.1 billion in North America.

In addition to Michelin, Goodyear announced in April last year that it intends to invest up to 550 million U.S. dollars to build a car light truck tire manufacturing plant near San Luis Potosí in Mexico. Under full load, the plant will have an annual production capacity of 6 million and more than 1,000 employees. name.

In addition, Pirelli also disclosed in April this year that it is committed to investing 200 million U.S. dollars in the next 18 months to expand production of the Mexican Silau tire factory that has been in operation for four years. It is expected that the production capacity will reach an annual output of 7.5 million.

Heat Treated Steel Bar And Tube

HEAT TREATED STEEL BAR AND TUBE

Heat treated steel bar is produced by heating and cooling in different temperature based on the steel grades to improve the steel bar mechanical properties or machinability for various industrial applications. Heat treated steel bar includes annealed steel bars, Normalized Steel Bar, quenched and temper qt steel bar.

Annealed Steel Bar has better ductility and lower hardness, which can be easier to be machined. The annealing processing is usually widely used for steel grade with higher carbon content above 0.5%. However, some low carbon steel also requires to do annealing for special usage such as 20CrMnTi gear steel. For some special material such as 20CrMnTi gear steel and GCr15 such bearing steel, spheroidizing annealing is often required.

Normalized steel bar sometime is also one kind of annealing processing. It mainly changes the grain to remove the impurities in steel and improves the strength and hardness. For some hot rolled steel bars, to keep the basic mechanical properties, normalizing is often used.

Quenching and Tempering, abbreviated as Q&T is a king of processing that strengthen or harden steel bars by heating the materials and then cooling in water, oil or other liquid medium, that rapidly the change from austenite to perlite to get the proper properties for various usage. The quenched & tempered steel bar materials are usually with carbon from 0.30% - 0.60%, it is widely used as merchant bars in components of various machines.

Our advantages on producing heat treated steel bars:

1) Big stocks of hot rolled round bars or wire rods as raw materials

2) Wide range of Cold Drawn Steel Bar sizes: from 10mm to 150mm

3) Different cold drawing medias powder or oil to get different surface

4) Straightening machines to get better straightness up to 0.5mm/m

5) Grinding and polishing machines to get better roughness upto 0.4um

6) Heat treating furnaces to adjust the mechanical properties

7) Full sets of testing equipment to test the sizes, mechanical properties and microstructure.

8) Multiple packages to avoid broken packages and anti-rusty
