NLMK completes custom order for Russian machine builders
NLMK Lipetsk, NLMK Group’s flagship production site, and A GRUPP, Russian metal trading company, have developed and delivered the first batch of hot-rolled 25X grade heat-resistant and wear-resistant steel sheets to OMP (Oka Machine Building Plant) in Nizhny Novgorod region as part of a packaged solution. The use of this steel for the production of fast-wearing elements of car bogies (undercarriage assemblies) increases their service life and reduces machining costs.
This new grade required NLMK Lipetsk to develop a new chemical composition of steel, adjust the steel smelting and conditioning process, and finetune the hot rolling mode. Tests confirmed that compared to the steel grade previously used by OMP, NLMK steel is 10% stronger and enables more reliable operation of undercarriage assemblies. Moreover, on-site testing indicated that the proposed steel grade requires lower machining costs.
Ilya Guschin, NLMK Group VP, Sales, said: “Continuous cooperation with our customers enables us to fine-tune our processes and boost the quality of our products. Joint development in this direction will contribute to strengthening our customers’ competitive edge and expand our mix to include new types of products.”
