Metal-Expo Organizing Committee Sums up Metal-Expo’2021 Results

At its meeting on December 24 Metal-Expo Organizing Committee summed up Metal-Expo’2021 results and made plans for 2022. 

The 27th International Exhibition was for the first time in its history held at Expocentre Fairgrounds, Moscow. 470 steel companies from 26 world countries exhibited in the event arranged on 28k sqm exhibition space. Some 3k professionals attended to their stands during the 3 event days. More than 17k steel industry professionals visited Metal-Expo’2021. More than 40 events among them conferences, roundtables, seminars etc. were held in parallel to the exhibition. More 2k industry professionals attended the events.  

Many members of the Organizing Committee noted that Expocentre Fairgrounds was a convenient platform due to its transport accessibility. The exhibitors of Metal-Expo’2021 commented on the high level of the event’s organization. 

The exhibition has a potential to host many more exhibitors due to engaging one more hall provided the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted in 2022.

The members of the Organizing Committee also made plans for 2022. Programs of a complex of industrial exhibitions SteelStructures’2022, and Metallurgy.Litmash’2002 (June 2022) will be discussed at another meeting of the Organizing Committee in April.

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.
