Ilyich Iron & Steel Works of Mariupol produced a trial lot of cold-rolled hardened coil with minimum tensile strength of at 800 N/mm2.
This product is in demand in Turkey, North Africa and Europe for the production of welded pipes, profiles and steel strap. The trial lot was shipped to a Metinvest Group client in Turkey as a semi-finished product for manufacturing steel strap used for fixing and packing various steel products.
Metinvest met with key customers to refine the technical requirements for the new cold-rolled hardened coil. As a result, the group developed and launched production of the 2sp coil via hot rolling at the 1700 Mill, pickling treatment at a continuous pickling line, and cold rolling at a four-stand mill, before rewinding, cutting and packing the coils.
Metinvest will deliver these products to its customers abroad.
