Abstract
The development plan of the company Severstal' places special emphasis on the introduction of new machinery and equipment and the development of technologies that make it possible to produce new grades of steel and high-quality products while also lowering production costs. In the last five years, the company has given particular attention to mastering the production of the following types of steels: steels with a strength rating of up to X80 for making pipes used in critical applications; ship plate; IF steels for automobile construction; high-strength steels and electrical steels. The company has thus stressed improvements in the following areas in order to achieve this goal: improve the indices of converter steelmaking; optimize the technologies used for out-of-furnace treatments of steel; improve the continuous casting of steel.
