CORE COMPETENCIES

Our fields of qualified expertise is technology creation and improvements in:

• primary steelmaking (melting and refining of steel in EAF, IF, BOF);

• ladle metallurgy (LF, VD, VOD etc.);

• special melting processes and facilities (ESR, VIM, VAR etc.);

• solidification control for heavy forging and slab ingots;

• metal wastes processing;

• environmental technologies;

• new steel grades manufacturing. 

Original innovative and commercialized technologies

•Secondary metallurgy technologies (LF, VD/VOD) to produce clean steel;

•Electroslag Surfacing by liquid metal (ESS LM) for manufacture and repair of composite rolling mill rolls and for enlargement of heavy-weight ingot;

•Electroslag Refining with liquid metal (ESR LM) for solid and hollow ingot manufacturing;

•ESR TC — Electroslag remelting with two power sources and/or current supplying lines for solidification control of segregation-prone alloys;

•ESR in the current-supplying mold with the change of consumable electrodes for hollow ingot ;

•ESR of titanium;

•ESR recycling of metal fines in the current supplying mold;

•ESR and casting technologies for composite ingots manufacturing (composite rotors, steel-copper anodes, stainless coated rebar, composite tools for machinery, etc);

•Control of solidification of heavy forging ingots and thick slabs.
