Zunyi Changling Special Steel has performed the first heat with the new Danieli EAF Zerobucket
In January 2026, Changling Special Steel successfully completed the first heat on its new Danieli Zerobucket Electric Arc Furnace (EAF), marking a significant achievement for both the steelmaker and Danieli. The furnace is capable of tapping 100 tons of liquid steel and represents the latest evolution of Danieli’s continuous-charging Zerobucket technology. Initially contracted in mid‑2023, this project’s timely completion and smooth, hot start-up confirm the strong cooperation between the Changling and Danieli teams.
