NLMK begins hot tests at new metallurgical briquette plant, using Steele stiff extrusion
NLMK, a leading global steelmaker, has begun hot tests at its new metallurgical briquette plant in Lipetsk. The production technology, which features Steele stiff extrusion, was developed by the late Ivan Kuranov, a legendary Russian steelmaker, professor and former chief blast furnace operator at NLMK Lipetsk. Kuranov supervised the design of the plant, which will produce 700,000 metric tons of extruded briquettes annually.
