MMK plans to reconstruct its blast furnace no. 2 next year
Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK) plans to begin the reconstruction of blast furnace no. 2 in 2020, in line with its modernisation plans. MMK plans to radically modernise the unit, significantly reducing its environmental impact. The historically-significant blast
furnace No. 2 was commissioned in the summer of 1932, a few months after the launch of the plant. Currently, it produces around 3,800 tonnes of pig iron per day. As part of the modernisation
process, MMK plans to dismantle and completely replace all parts of the old furnace, as well as to replace the cooling system. Equipment for the new cooling system will be supplied by the Luxembourg

company Paul Wurth, which has been selected following the results of a tender which required the cooling systems presented to have horizontal cooling elements. Following its reconstruction, the new furnace will have non-lintel design. Paul Wurth will supply horizontal box coolers, highly-heat- conductive graphite blast-furnace brickwork and ramming compound. The package also includes a complete set of equipment for a stand-alone hydraulic power unit with heat exchangers and an accompanying closed-loop cooling system for chemically purified water. The installation process will be supervised on-site both during the pre-installation period and during the period between installation
and the start-date of the furnace’s operation. MMK’s blast furnace no. 2
was commissioned in June 1932. It was named Komsomolka to commemorate the achievement of hundreds of Komsomol members who worked on the construction of the plant. Since then, the blast furnace has been repeatedly updated - most recently in 2000, when it was rebuilt almost from scratch. The capacity of the current blast furnace is 1,380 cubic meters. In 2010, a bell-less top charging mechanism provided by Paul Wurth was installed on blast furnace no. 2. More information: Dmitry Kuchumov T: +7 (499) 238-26-13 E:

www.internationalmetaltube.com TECHSPEC Edmund Optics® ®
Multi-Element Tube System
(EO), the
premier provider of optical components, introduces the new TECHSPEC®
Multi-
Element Tube System. This TECHSPEC®
Multi-
Element Tube System creates highly versatile optical systems, using mix-and match components allowing unprecedented adjustability. This makes this system ideal for prototyping and creating uncommon optical designs. The TECHSPEC®
Multi-
Element Tube System works by combining Multi-Element Outer Tubes with Multi- Element Inner Single and Pair Optic Mounts to create a complete system. The Outer Tubes have M29 threads running down their entire length; Inner Single and Pair Optic Mounts have M29 threads along their outer diameters, allowing them to be placed anywhere within an Outer Tube. This design allows optical spacing to be infinitely adjustable along the optical axis. To ease adjustment, Edmund Optics also introduced a custom-designed Multi- Element Tube Spanner Wrench, which has a hollow bore to allow a beam to pass through during adjustment. The TECHSPEC®
Multi-
Element Tube System accommodates circular optics with diameters from 5 mm to 25,4 mm, and edge thicknesses up to 17 mm. System lengths can range from 15 mm to 100 mm, and can be combined to expand capabilities. Multi-Element Tube System components are in stock and available for immediate delivery.
