Nuclear applications
Special stainless steel - developed for critical components in nuclear
applications (304 L, 321 etc.) having very low inclusion content, high
corrosion resistance (<10 MPY), ultrasonically sound (w.r.t. angular &
straight beam probe testing), high temper tensile strength and impact
strength.

Tailor made products

Niobium stabilized special grade austenitic stainless steel was developed
for critical components to be used in steam and gas turbines and other
engine components. This steel was required to have specified chemical
compositions with mechanical and impact properties.

Duplex Stainless Steel

JSL 2205, a ferritic-austentic stainless steel having a high chloride pitting
resistance is the new entrant in the product mix. Cold Rolled annealed
strips find extensive application as tubular material in sea water, chemical
and paper & pulp plants.

 The Slabs are subjected to surface conditioning in a slab
grinding section.
 The Slabs are then Hot Rolled into HR Coils in Steckel Mill,
which are then used to produce HRAP No1 Coils and Plates.
 HR coils are transferred to Cold Rolling Unit, to produce CR
Coils and Sheets.
 The Blooms are hot rolled in Tandem Strip Mill to narrow
coils and flat bars.
 In addition, special steels like razor blade steel is cast into
ingots which are subsequently forged to slabs & rolled in
tandem strip mill.
Steel Production Process
 The production of stainless steel begins with melting of
ferrous scrap and ferroalloys in UHP Electric Arc Furnace,
followed by secondary refining in AOD/VOD units.
 The liquid steel thus obtained, is cast into slabs in a
continuous slab caster with Auto Mould Level Control (AMLC)
System.
 JSL produces stainless steel in 200, 300 & 400 series.
 Niche products - Duplex Stainless Steel, Controlled
expansion alloys as like INVAR-36 and Special Finish Cold
Rolled Stainless Steel and Stainless Steels for critical
applications.
Hot Rolling
 Hot rolling comprises of Hot
Steckel Mill and Tandem Strip
mill.
 Slabs are rolled to hot rolled
coils and plates.
 The mill is capable of rolling
plates and coils upto 1250 mm
width weighing upto 18MT.
 The present rolling capacity of both the mills put
together is 700,000 TPA.

 Finishing (HR Product)

HR coils are cut to length, annealed and pickled to produce

plates in HRAP No. 1 finish.

For thickness 10.0mm and above plates are directly

produced from steckel mill, which are annealed and pickled
to produce HRAP No. 1 finish plates.
Cold Rolling
 The cold rolling mill complex comprises of the
four units CRD I, CRD II & CRD III & CRD IV.

 The facilities at Hisar is equipped to produce

and supply material in 2D, 2B, No.3, No.4
and BA surface finishes.

 CRD II is engaged in production of precision

strips in thinner sizes (0.05mm to 0.50mm
thick) e.g. Razor Blade, other ferritic and
Martensitic stainless steel.
The present installed capacity of cold rolled
products is 1,50,000 TPA.
 Coil Buildup line
Coil buildup line is used to attach leader ends in hot rolled coils for increasing
the overall yield of coils. It is also equipped with edge trimming to improve
production for further operations.
Skin pass Mill
The skinpass mill is designed and installed in dust proof housing. It is used to
give cold rolled pass by polished ground work roll on 2D finish dull material to
convert to 2B bright surface finish. The mill is designed to meet requirements in
600 to 1600mm width coils in 0.40 to 3.00mm thickness.
Slitting Line
Slitting lines are used to side trim the coils and cater the market requirements in
smaller width coils with a thickness from 0.45mm to 6MM.
Strip Grinding Line
The strip Grinding line is used to produce No.3, No.4 and some special finishes
requiring grinding which is used for decorative purposes in architectural
applications, restaurant equipments, dairy equipments, lifts, elevators etc.
 Shearing Line
The flying shearing line with Voss Leveller is used to produce sheets with
good flatness which is the first and foremost requirement of customers.
Annealing and Pickling line
The annealing and pickling line is used to anneal and pickle Hot Rolled
stainless and Cold rolled stainless steel coils. The continuous annealing
and pickling line is equipped with a neutral electrolyte tank for pickling by
Ruthner process using sodium sulphate for the neutral electrolyte,
scanacon system for acid recovery and removal of metal content.
Bright Annealing line
The bright annealing (BA) line at Jindal Hisar works is one of its kind in
India. The annealing in BA line is done in controlled atmosphere of cracked
ammonia to avoid any oxidation of metal which ensures a bright finish
called as BA finish.
