OREANDA-NEWS. April 11, 2008. NLMK’s subsidiary VIZ-Stal LLC (Yekaterinburg) has launched the production of 0.23 mm thick transformer steel sheets, enabling VIZ-Stal to enter a new rapidly growing market of high-power transformer components.

This new high-tech product boasts lower magnetic losses, and to make its production possible, a new higher Mn steel grade was developed by NLMK’s specialists.  The cold-rolled transformer steel production process was improved in VIZ-Stal’s cold-rolling shop.

Currently NLMK enhances hot-rolling modes for semi-finished rolled steel, as well as steel treatment processes at VIZ-Stal.

NLMK has already arranged the initial shipment of this new product to its customers.
