Krivorozhsky Mining and Metallurgical Plant PJSC "Arcelormittal Kryvy Rog " (AMKR, Dnepropetrovsk Region) in the continuous casting department of steel (VBRS) of the converter shop mastered the release of a new type of blanks of 160x160 mm in size to increase deliveries abroad.
The release of a new type of product was due to economic advantages and export potential, because the size of 160x160 mm used the rental mills of many countries.
the project successfully implemented due to thorough calculations, modernization of equipment and coordinated command work. These products will make it possible to produce heavier skeins of reinforcement, which will reduce the cost of transportation and increase the competitiveness of the enterprise.
at the plant explained that the products of the vehicle are steel blanks, of which reinforcement, katanka, corner and other are produced in the rental workshops. Roll products. Yes, and the workpieces themselves are in demand in the market.
As the director of the cast iron production department said and became Dmitry Terekhov, the second significant reason to take up the manufacture of new products was that now many rental camps in the world, in particular, In Germany and Poland, it is precisely the blanks of 160x160 mm, so this is a very promising product now.
“We, along with the technical management (TU), investigated the possibilities to make demanded blanks, and found that this is possible despite the that that our continuous casting machines (mlose) were not designed for this. We decided to use MLZO-1, because it produced only "square " 150 mm, while on the first and second we make both 150 mm and 130 mm. (highly alloyed, low -carbon, etc.), ”stated Terekhov.
