OJSC Magnitogorsk Iron and
Steel Works bases its development strategy on continuing to strengthenits
positions on the domestic market, producing goods for import substitution and
meeting demand in the Russian economy for state of the art and high quality
metal. In recent years, MMK mastered and launched production technologies for
types of metal that previously had to be imported flat products for high
diameter pipes, high quality cold rolled and galvanised products.
Mill 5000 is the key element in MMK’s thick
plate production complex. The Mill’s highquality and competitive production
meets demand generated by major oil & gas infrastructure projects in
Russia, including key strategic pipelines such as Sakhalin Khabarovsk
Vladivostok, Bovanenkovo Ukhta, Southern Corridor, Power of Siberia, as well as
oil pipelines such as the Eastern Siberia and Pacific Ocean pipeline. In
particular, as part of the ESPO project, MMK developed a technology for the
production of seismic-proof rolled steel that is K56/?2 strength grade and has
a width of 14.0 mm and 17.0 mm a first for Russia.
As part of thePower of Siberia project, MMK
produced and successfully received certification for a pilot batch of thick
plate of K60 strength grade with a width of 32.0 mm. This product is designed
for the production of pipes used in active tectonic zones in areas of higher seismic
activity and permafrost, all conditions which dictatetheir own specific
requirements for seismic resistance and tolerance to extreme temperatures.
The new complex at the cold rolled products Mill
2000 is designed for the production of high quality cold rolled and galvanised
metal for the automotive industry, household appliance production and the
construction sector. Thanks to technological features of this state of the art
complex, MMK production meets the highest quality standards for cold-rolled and
hot-dip-galvanised metal, can meet tight width limits, and makes it possible to
apply corrosion resistant zinc and iron or phosphate coatings.
