Ural Steel (part of the Metalloinvest company) in the first three months of 2021 produced more than 2 thousand tons of large-sized castings, which is twice the planned volume: 2040 against 975 tons. This indicator was achieved thanks to the expansion of the product range and the growing demand.
“The main consumers of our large-sized castings are the mining and metallurgical industries in Russia, Kazakhstan and Bulgaria. Our clients and partners appreciate the optimal cost and high quality, which provides a longer service life than provided for by the warranty, - said Ildar Iskakov, Managing Director of Ural Steel. "The molding shop also covers our own needs and the needs of the Oskol Electrometallurgical Plant for these products, which cost us one third less than the purchased ones."
In 2020, for our own needs, together with the metal structures workshop, Ural Steel mastered the production of updated cast iron ladles and devices for their tilting, which were previously purchased from third-party manufacturers.
Slag bowls are manufactured for Aksu and Aktobe ferroalloy plants (45 tonnes for 24 m3 and 25 tonnes for 13.6 m3). For the Novotroitsk plant of chrome compounds, slag slags were designed and manufactured. For the Magnitogorsk company "New Technologies - Engineering Center" - several types of forging and foundry equipment.
At the moment, the enterprise has received orders from Magnitogorsk companies ZMI-Ural and New Technologies - Engineering Center for the production of three new types of foundry equipment. Preparatory work is underway for casting a 125-ton slab for New Technologies - Engineering Center.
The first experimental sample of a 16.5-cc slag bowl for the blast furnace shop was cast in the molding shop in 2016, during which time more than 2 thousand various cast large-sized items with a total volume of about 26 thousand tons were produced ... Today, more than 25 types of large-sized products are produced here.
