TMK supplies MMK with high-tech equipment for its steelmaking operations

ETERNO, part of TMK, has manufactured and delivered to Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works (MMK) steelmaking equipment – a customized design EAF bath.

The new product of ETERNO INGENIUM lineup is the bottom part of a steelmaking furnace. It is a structural low-alloy steel tank for liquid metal and slags, 9.6 m long, 7.4 m wide and 3.2 m high.  The installation method was customized to ensure precise product geometry.

“As part of expanding its product line, TMK designs customized integrated engineering solutions for the steelmaking industry. ETERNO had previously shipped a 500 tonne ladle car to MMK, our strategic partner. The EAF bath shipment is another great example of productive collaboration between the industry’s leaders. We provide MMK with knowledge-intensive solutions to produce high-quality steel for flat-rolled products, which are then supplied to our facilities to make large-diameter pipe,” noted Denis Makienko, TMK’s Director for Machine-Building Business Development.

TMK’s portfolio includes several dozen commercialized ETERNO INGENIUM engineering solutions for the steel industry. The ETERNO plant supplied its products for upgrading the steelmaking operations of Severstal and the BOF shop at Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant (part of Mechel Group), as well as retrofitting Novolipetsk Steel (part of NLMK Group) and the Aksu Ferroalloys Plant in Kazakhstan. High-tech INGENIUM products have also been used in the nuclear industry for the construction of Akkuyu NPP in Turkey and Kursk NPP in Russia.
