UrBC, Yekaterinburg, January 26, 2018. EVRAZ Holding's Nizhniy Tagil Integrated Metallurgical Works (NTMK) now makes a new kind of metal product, 30P channel beams. The first commercial-scale batch of rolled metal produce was made for the customers in Saint Petersburg and Moscow Oblast in January, the company press service reports.

'These hot-rolled 300-mm-high channel beams with parallel faces and increased hardness parameters are used for making heavy-duty frameworks. The beams are quite popular with housing developers and building reconstructors as well as with machine-builders. By customer's order, EVRAZ NTMK channel beams can get made from either usual types of steel or the new varieties such as S390, S440, or 15KhSND,' the press service says.

EVRAZ NTMK makes channel beams that are 160 mm to 400 mm high at its production departments.

In 2017, the plant started making 15 new kinds of construction beams, 9 new kinds of railway wheels, 3 new kinds of channel beams, 2 new kinds of crane rails, and 3 new kinds of round bars. The plant will keep on mastering new product types this year as well.
