Process
The source raw material for our production is selected metal scrap, which is melted in a 90 t UHP electric arc furnace (85 MVA alternating current furnace). The secondary metallurgy stage (addition of alloying elements, imparting of required steel properties, etc.) comprises an 80 t ladle furnace, a vacuum degasser, and wire injection equipment. We cast the liquid steel as two types of product:
- continuosly cast rounds
in diameters of 310 mm, 400 mm, 500 mm and 600 mm - ingots
in a round format limited to 800 mm in diameter
The steel in the two-strand continuous caster is stirred electromagnetically to improve the steel microstructure. It is then heat-treated according to customer requirements.
