Ukraine's largest vertically-integrated steelmaking company Metinvest has announced that its subsidiary Ilyich Iron & Steel Works of Mariupol has produced a trial lot of cold rolled hardened coil with a minimum tensile strength of 800 N/mm2.
This product is in demand in Turkey, North Africa and Europe for the production of welded pipes, profiles and steel straps. The trial lot was shipped to a Metinvest Group client in Turkey as a semi-finished product for manufacturing steel straps 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.
