OAO Novokuznetsk Iron & Steel, Russia, part of the EVRAZ Group, has placed an order with SMS Meer, Germany, for a new universal rail and section mill.
The mill is designed for a capacity of 1.3 million t per year. 950,000 t of the annual production are rails, including 400,000 t per year of 100-m-long rails that can be used for highspeed rail tracks or also with hardened rail heads for high axle loads such as for heavy goods trains. In addition, beams, channels and round and square bars can be produced on this mill.
The order forms part of a modernization program for the existing rail production plant. The modernization will be carried out in several part-projects. For the hot rolling section, SMS Meer is to supply the rolling technology and the complete mechanical and electrical equipment and the automation system.
The mill is scheduled to go into production in October 2012.
