In the years from its commissioning to its decommissioning, the 1.7-meter rolling mill project at Wuhan Iron and Steel Corporation (WISCO) continuously surpassed its designed production capacity of 1 million tons per year, reaching a peak capacity of 1.7 million tons per year, and cumulatively produced 100 million tons of steel.
In the year, the State Council established the "Four-Three" plan for equipment importation, with the "one-meter-seven" rolling mill at Wuhan Iron and Steel Corporation (WISCO) included. In the year, a hundred thousand troops gathered in Qingshan to launch the "one-meter-seven" project campaign. On the day of the month, the "one-meter-seven" hot rolling production line at WISCO successfully completed its first trial rolling, marking an important milestone in the modernization of China's steel industry. On the day of the month, Deng Xiaoping, the chief architect of China's reform and opening-up, made a special visit to the "one-meter-seven" production line.
On the date, the "1.7-meter" production line was officially shut down and preserved as an industrial heritage, thus beginning a new chapter.
