MMK ships record volume of galvanized steel in 2018


M


agnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK) shipped 1,269 million


tonnes of galvanized steel in 2018, the highest figure in the Company’s history. This result is 11.9 per cent


higher than the previous record of 1,134 million tonnes


of galvanized steel set by the Company in 2017. Over the past 15 years MMK


has been consistently increasing the production of galvanized steel. In 2002 and 2008, the Company commissioned two high-performance continuous hot-dip galvanizing lines at its metal-coating shop. In 2012,


MMK commissioned the second stage of a cold-rolling unit at sheet-rolling shop 11, comprising a continuous hot-dip galvanizing line, as well as a combined continuous annealing and hot-dip galvanizing aggregate. In July 2017, MMK put into operation the No.3 unit for continuous hot-dip galvanizing with a capacity of


360,000 tonnes per year. Development of coated metal production is in line with MMK’s goal to increase output of high value-added advanced processed products.

adaptation of water hydraulics, transport, full assembly and CE certification. The custom-made products will include aircraft landing gear, engine discs and structural parts. Start of production of the system is scheduled for January 2021. Hydraulic forging presses are particularly suitable in places where high forces and long working distances are required: their unlimited work energy allows the maximum force over the entire stroke. The infinite adjustment of the working strokes permits optimum adaptation of the press cycle to the forming process; large slide strokes for long components provide an expanded range of possible products. And the adaptation of the forming speed to the process produces superior workpiece quality and long die service life.
