Russia-based steel pipe producer ChTPZ Group and Russian steelmaker Severstal held their 17th Coordination Council on Cooperation at Severstal's site in Kolpino, according to ChTPZ Group's report.
The two parties looked at their performance results in the first three quarters of 2014 and talked about ways of improving the quality of their rolled metal stock, and about both companies' participation in oil and gas pipeline projects (including Power of Siberia).
In fact, Severstal already delivered 4,000 mt of rolled metal of K60 grade to ChTPZ Group's Vysota 239 Department this year, for production of large diameter pipes for the Power of Siberia project.
The production of corrosion-resistant large diameter pipe steels was one of the key points on the Council's agenda. The parties agreed to work together on improving the existing steels' performance characteristics and to develop new kinds of steel. During their stay in Kolpino, ChTPZ Group experts also paid a visit to Izhorsky Pipe Plant, a large-diameter pipe manufacturer.
