Description
Summary:The modern electric steelmaking equipment and technology in use at the Volga Pipe Plant allows that facility to make tubular semifinished products composed of a wide range of steels. Due to an increase in the volume of production and the number of orders being received for 156-mm-diam. semifinished products, the plant found it necessary to increase the productivity of the continuous caster in the casting of small-diameter products. The plant worked with VNIIMETMASh to modernize its existing continuous section caster. The technical and organizational changes that were made in order to cast 156-mm-diam. semifinished products have elevated the performance of caster No. 2 to world-class level. The modernization effort was completed well in advance of the scheduled date.
