Introduction
Boilers play an important role in various types of plants for the
power and chemical industry. With the progress of these industries,
modern boilers have become larger in size and the temperature, as
well as the pressure, has increased. Therefore, the steel pipes used
within them must be of a higher quality.
Chita Works is one of the world's largest specialized steel pipe mills,
manufacturing high quality steel pipe for boilers and heat
exchangers using integrated processes ranging from raw materials
to final quality control. Using their ample knowledge and
experience, JFE Steel Corporation has installed up-to-date
manufacturing and inspection facilities at Chita Works. Furthermore,
Chita Works includes a fully expanded research division, which is
making vigorous endeavors in research and development to meet
the highly sophisticated needs of the individual users.
JFE Steel strives for the complete satisfaction of its customers and
looks forward to their continued patronage.

steels, and manufacture various types of molds, rolling rolls, and

1964
1970
1971
other cast steel products. When Kawasaki Steel Corporation was

established in 1950, Chita Works became a part of the new
company. At that time, the production system was completely
renovated in response to the needs of the time and Chita Works
1972
1978
became a specialty plant mainly producing steel pipes. Beginning

with the construction of a large diameter spiral tube mill in 1961, a
1979
1981
succession of new pipe-making shops was built. This established a

production system that covered all types of steel pipe from buttwelded tube to seamless.
In April 2003, the operations of Kawasaki Steel and NKK were
reorganized, and Chita Works was reborn as part of JFE Steel
Corporation.
1983
Challenge

1985
making plants, boasting the world's most complete product line of

pipe and tubular products made at a single facility. Chita Works is
constantly aware of their mission to contribute to society by
1990
developing and applying the world's most advanced technologies.

With this in mind, they will continue to meet the diverse needs of
their customers with the highest levels of product quality.
