Russia-based leading global iron ore and hot briquetted iron (HBI) producer Metalloinvest’s subsidiary Oskol Metallurgical Plant (OEMK) has announced that steelworkers and scientists at the scientific and technical steel-smelting laboratory of the A.A. Ugarov Stary Oskol Technological Institute, located at OEMK, have successfully developed a new steel grade, alloyed chrome-manganese steel.

As explained by laboratory leader Alexei Kozhukhov, 37 smeltings were carried out for the selection of chemical components of steel, which enabled the formation of the end product according to customer demands.

Metalloinvest invested over $900,000 to establish the scientific and technical steel-smelting laboratory which was launched in 2018. Experimental smelting in small quantities is carried out in the laboratory, allowing specialists to organize a large number of experiments, and significantly reduces research costs.
