Mechel Breaks Personal Record for Daily Rail Products Output

Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant (part of Mechel) broke personal record for daily rail products output. 3.3kt of rail products against the average 2.9kt were manufactured in one day on the universal structural mill. The output record was broken before as well. Thus in November 2017 daily rail products manufacture reached 3.2kt. The main consumer of rails P65, 100m in length is Russian Railways.

The universal structural mill commissioned in 2013 produces high quality structural rolled products: rails of up to 100m in length and beams. The strategy of the plant includes entering new export markets. In Q1 2018, the plant certified rails production in compliance with TSI. Mechel group will exhibit the whole range of products on its stand at Metal-Expo’2018 in November.

VTZ introduces new technology to improve stainless steel production efficiency

Volzhsky Pipe Plant, a branch of Pipe Metallurgical Company, has introduced a new technology to improve the efficiency of stainless steel production. The innovation helps to recover greater quantities of high-value alloying elements from scrap metal and to utilise raw materials more efficiently. Thanks to the new technology, it has become possible to more effectively recover residual chromium, nickel and molybdenum from high-alloy scrap. The number of "flushing" heats required to clean the furnace and steel casting ladles has also been reduced. The new scheme reduces ferroalloy consumption and improves the profitability of stainless steel rolled products output, as noted by TMK.
