Hot-rolled products

NLMK’s hot-rolled products serve as inputs for all downstream manufacturing and their quality is ensured with tried-and-true production technologies. The main advantages of our hot-rolled products rely on the metal structure, where 60% of the quality is accounted for by the input semi-finished products: NLMK slabs that determine the chemical composition, purity and surface quality. There are tomographic and X-ray systems in place to monitor strict adherence to the requirements: each grade of steel is cooled at a certain rate and to the desired and pre-determined temperature. This ensures such end-user parameters as strength, stampability, ductility, and the potential for specialized magnetic properties.

Alongside standard catalogue products, NLMK offers customization, whereby customers can place orders for rolled steel with a unique geometry thanks to the continuously variable crown system.

Hot-rolled products are in high demand by oil-and-gas pipe makers (including low-temperature and high-pressure pipes), as well as construction and mechanical engineering, including shipbuilding, car manufacturing and white goods.
