MMK to Produce Rolled Products of Higher Strength

Last week a pilot batch of X80 strength class rolled products was manufactured at # 10 flats plant, Magnitogorks Iron and Steel Works. The batch was manufactured to order of Volzhsky Pipe Plant. This has become possible largely due to reconstruction of 2000 mill at # 10 flats plant.
This year, for example, new hydraulic reels and a finishing scalebreaker have been set up at the mill. The
tests of the pilot batch have confirmed the characteristics of rolled products of Х70 and even Х80 strength classes. The rolled products have already been dispatched to Volzhsky Pipe Plant for the production of spiral seamed tubes.
Steels of Х70 and Х80 strength classes are used in manufacture of oil and gas pipes. Due to its good weldability these steels can be used in building of high pressure pipelines, which will become even more popular in the future.
