Production of New-Generation Rolled Steel under Conditions of Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Company

The paper presents comprehensive scientific and technological solutions related to the large-scale production of new-generation rolled steel in an integrated metallurgical plant. The new-generation rolled steel is in the form of a high-duty steel plate, each geometric element of which exhibits a customerspecified complex of physical and mechanical properties. In the linear sections, surface and volume elements are effectively used as geometric elements. The results of research projects aimed at enriching our scientific understanding of the phase and structural transformations in steels are presented. The capabilities of the enterprise production and quality management system employed by the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Company are described; this system ensured the transition of the enterprise toward digital, highly efficient technologies for producing metal products.
