20 12 At about 23: 30 on February 20th, an explosion occurred in the steel casting plant of Angang Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd., a joint-stock enterprise restructured by Angang Group, causing 10 deaths, 3 missing and 17 injured on the spot. On the morning of 2 1, the reporter rushed to the scene of the accident and learned that as of 12, the search and rescue personnel had found the bodies of three missing persons, and the death toll in this accident rose to 13.

accident cause

On-site personnel introduced that they were casting a ring-shaped steel piece at that time, and the mold used was this sand mold with an outer diameter of about 10 meter. The sand mold cavity is also filled with sand and gravel, and a circle of molten steel is left in the middle to cast a circle. Unexpectedly, when the casting was coming to an end and the last molten steel was about to be poured, the sand mold suddenly exploded inside. After the accident, Liaoning Province and Anshan City organized the best experts, equipment, medicines and other medical conditions to treat the wounded. 1 1 The minor injuries are in stable condition, and the other six people are seriously injured, with a burn area of more than 65%, and they are not out of danger.

Liu Yi, director of the Medical Operation Supervision Department of Anshan Public Hospital Administration, said that 17 people were injured in the explosion accident, all male, aged between 20 and 5 1 year, mainly burns. From 2: 00 am to 0: 00 am, Anshan organized all the wounded to be treated in Anshan Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, which was formerly Tiexi Hospital of Angang, and the burn treatment was the best in Northeast China.

Liu Yi introduced that the Liaoning Provincial Health Department and Anshan City have set up a special leading group for the treatment of the wounded. 2 1 An expert group was sent from Shenyang to Anshan for consultation on the seriously injured in the accident, and the rescue work is under intense pressure. The person in charge of a foundry company in Liaoning Province said that the explosion accident was also called "runaway" in the industry. The reason may be that the casting cavity itself is uneven, and the molten steel meets moisture after pouring, forming a lot of gas, which leads to explosion. Although the OEM is a high-risk industry, it is rare for the death toll to reach 13. Many people may die because more than one ladle is filled with molten steel at the same time. Generally, a ladle needs two workers. Another reason is that the pit workshop adopted by Angang belongs to a relatively backward production mode.
