The basic preparation stage and the most imortant technological production section is the integrated steel works - from the smelting of more than 40 steel grades and alloys to finished cast parts, forgings and pressings. It includes the following shops: foundry shop, themical fettling shop, forge-and-press shop, mold-making shop and drop-hammer plant.

    Foundry shops are equiped with steel-making electroarc and induction furnaces, complex mechanical molding lines.

    The quick-change floating mold system of these lines, the use of up-to-date molding sands and coatings enable to perform the casting of any configuration up to 3000x3000x700 mm and with the weight up to 25 000 kg. The moulds for bigger castings up to 35 000 kg and size of up to 6000x6000x2000 mm are manufactured in two areas of hand molding.

    The themical fettling shop is equiped with the furnaces with roll-out bottoms of the area 22 to 48 m2 which enable to perform all types of themical treatment of castings.

It would be impossible to realize the potential of the foundry shops without the mold-making shop with high-skilled specialists.

    The equipment of the forge-and-press shop enables to manufacture the forgings from ingots with the weight up to 20 tons.

The maximum sizes of parts' forgings: of 'shaft' type - diameter 600 mm, length 5 000 mm, of 'disc' type - diameter1300 mm, height 700 mm, of 'plate' type - width 800 mm, thickness 400 mm, length 4000 mm, of 'ring' type - external diameter up to 1700 mm, internal diameter up to 1000 mm at height up to 720 mm and thickness up to 100 mm.
