Ilyich Iron and Steel Works of Mariupol launched the production of S350GD galvanized steel grade. This product has been used to manufacture building structures in Ukraine for the first time.
Ilyich Iron & Steel Works of Mariupol’s cold rolling shop manufactured a trial lot of 1.5mm thick high-strength galvanized coils from S350GD steel grade according to European standard EN 10346. Production of S320GD galvanized steel grade was launched a few months ago. The steelmaking and casting processes, chemical composition of steel, temperature and deformation conditions of rolling were developed specifically to produce S320GD and S350GD steel grades. The resulting mechanical properties are fully in line with the requirements of EN 10346. S350GD grade galvanized steel has improved strength parameters than material made of 08kp steel grade according to DSTU/GOST. It helps make steel construction more efficient by reducing the metal intensity in finished structures while ensuring proper load-bearing capacity.
