Severstal-Metiz develops new HDG range
Severstal-Metiz Group of Companies, a part of the division Severstal Russian Steel, has mastered the technology of hot dip galvanised fasteners production.
I
n June 2011 the first batch of fasteners with hot dip galvanised coating for use in construction of power lines was produced at the fastener production at the Severstal-Metiz Orlov site. The pilot batch was sent to the customer for which Severstal-Metiz received positive feedback and an initial order for 100 tonnes of the new products. Now specialists at Severstal-Metiz are working on assimilation of smaller diameter fasteners and reducing the process time to fulfil orders.
“We have invested and we will invest in mastering the production of new products, which are unique for Russia and our other
product markets. Hot dip galvanised fasteners are among them,” comments Oleg Veter, the general director of Severstal-Metiz. “Fasteners is one of our key areas of focus. We will continue developing it by widening the product range and services and also by improving the performance of our products, including reliability and durability”. In connection with the acquisition of new equipment and increasing product quality requirements experts at Severstal-Metiz
have been improving their own qualifications. In October a one-day seminar for the specialists producing new types of fasteners took place in Orel. The seminar was dedicated to quality assurance in the production of fasteners. The members discussed the requirement for corresponding laboratory and tooling equipment for the production facility. Speakers included leading Russian specialists in the area of fastener production, who answered questions from the participants.
High tensile fastener production assessed
In August 2011 experts from the Science and Production Center of Bridges in St. Petersburg, together with the Certification Body for machine-building products PROMMASH and VNIINMASH (Moscow), inspected the production and carried out certification tests on the high tensile fasteners of JSC Mostovik, which are produced in China.
ince the initial facility certification of the high tensile fasteners in 2008, the company has brought into operation new equipment for heat treatment of fasteners, cold forming of bolts and nuts. The inspection confirmed compliance of each operation with the requirements of the plant design documentation and the standards of the Russian Federation. According to the results of the inspection and tests the high tensile fastener producer Mostovik has been acknowledged as conforming to the normative requirements of the Russian Federation.
S
Spit products receive Technical License
New products for construction (non-standardised materials, goods and constructions), appearing in Russia, are subject to technical assessment of their suitability for use in construction.
T
he official confirmation of suitability is the Technical License of the Russian Federation Construction Committee (Gosstroy). An increasing number of foreign products, entering the Russian market,
receive such documentation. In August, the
Bolt.ru Company received a license to use steel expanding anchors and adhesive anchors from Spit Company (France) in construction applications within the territory of the Russian Federation.

O 34 Fastener + Fixing Magazine • Issue 72 November 2011
ne of the most interesting parts of the seminar was the analysis of possible variants of development of the Russian automobile market and the collation of a consolidated forecast up to the year 2020. The audience divided to
optimists, pessimists and supporters of moderate development nearly in equal parts. In general, the participants came to the common conclusion that the active growth of the automobile market in Russia is almost finished and is expected to stabilise. At the same time a number of specialists believe that, at minimum, two market declines can be expected by 2020. The nearest of these market dips could well occur in 2012, as the Russian automotive industry is affected by the current situation on the world financial markets.
