Krasnodar plant of a metalwork continues modernisation of Its production fleet

Krasnodar plant of a metalwork has commissioned a high-technology production line for laser cutting of I-beams and sheet steel — the Senfeng SF 1500CH — as part of a comprehensive technical re-equipment programme. The power output is 30 kW. The new equipment has reduced the cutting time for structural and circular tubes, as well as I-beams, by 40–60%. The Senfeng SF 1500CH delivers clean cuts without burrs and without the need for subsequent mechanical finishing, maintains the strength characteristics of the metal, and ensures high geometric repeatability even with complex cutting contours.

Stainless steel, aluminium, carbon steel and galvanised steel — the new unit works with a wide range of metals, as noted by KZM. "Our goal is not simply to increase capacity, but to create added value for each customer. The new laser cutting line is a tool that enables us to respond more swiftly to market demands, implement complex engineering tasks and strengthen KZM's position as a reliable partner in metal processing," said A. Korchagin, Production Director of KZM.
KZM will present its metal products at the International Specialised Exhibition SteelStructures'2026, to be held on May 26–28 in Moscow at Timiryazev Centre.

VTZ introduces new technology to improve stainless steel production efficiency

Volzhsky Pipe Plant, a branch of Pipe Metallurgical Company, has introduced a new technology to improve the efficiency of stainless steel production. The innovation helps to recover greater quantities of high-value alloying elements from scrap metal and to utilise raw materials more efficiently. Thanks to the new technology, it has become possible to more effectively recover residual chromium, nickel and molybdenum from high-alloy scrap. The number of "flushing" heats required to clean the furnace and steel casting ladles has also been reduced. The new scheme reduces ferroalloy consumption and improves the profitability of stainless steel rolled products output, as noted by TMK.
