Dnipro Metallurgical Plant (DMZ), a part of DCH Steel of businessman Aleksandr Yaroslavsky’s DCH Group, has resumed exports of European sections that had been suspended since the beginning of the war.
According to a report in DCH Steel’s corporate newspaper on Thursday, since the start of the full-scale invasion, the company has not been able to sell its products for export, as such supplies were mostly unprofitable. During this time, Euro profiles were produced at Rolling Shop No. 2 only in the summer of 2023 at the request of Metinvest.
It is also reported that during the first rolling campaign of the year, Rolling Shop No. 2 produced 7.1 thousand tons of products for Ukrainian and foreign consumers. The production campaign started on January 31 and lasted for two weeks seven days a week. It was planned to start work in mid-January, but the timing had to be adjusted due to a delay in the supply of billets for the export batch of rolled products.
During the winter campaign, the shop produced about 5,000 tons of channels under a standard tolling scheme for the Ukrainian market and 2,000 tons of products for European countries. To produce Euro profiles, we purchased a long billet and cut it into multiple lengths – this is the first time such work has been done at Mill 550, previously it was performed at Rolling Shop No. 1.
For the first time, commercial batches of channels were made from cast squares, and the production of export products from this type of billet was launched in 2024.
“Over the past two years, the rollers have done a lot of work to switch from rolled to cast billets. This made it possible to reduce production costs. Now we are continuing this work: during the winter campaign, the shop mastered the production of channel 22 from a cast billet with a cross section of 200×200 mm. Previously, this type of profile was made exclusively from rolled billets of 135×280, so suppliers had to additionally roll the billets produced by the CCM to the required parameters. The experiment was successful, and in the next campaign we plan to produce a commercial batch of channel 22 from a cast billet,” explained Yuriy Mikhailov, Deputy General Director for Metallurgical Production.
The plant continued experiments to master the production of R-34 rail products, which were previously manufactured at Mill 800: the billet was rolled through the first stand and templates were taken for analysis.
“The campaign lasted longer than planned due to the experiments and certain difficulties encountered when rolling channels from cast billets. There were stoppages due to breakdowns of crane equipment and the lower shaft of stand No. 7. But in general, the shop was well prepared and worked well. Almost all of the products have been shipped to customers, and we have no comments on quality,” stated Mikhailov.
Rolling Shop No. 2 is currently repairing equipment to ensure that the next production cycle is efficiently run. The second rolling campaign is expected to start in March-April.
It is also reported that all channels in accordance with DSTU 10 to 22 and the main range of Euro profiles have been converted to cast billets at Mill 550. In the next rolling campaign, the shop plans to launch production of 24 channels from cast squares. In January-February, Rolling Shop No. 2 rolled channels 10 to 30 for Ukrainian customers and Euro channels U 120, U 140, U 160, U 180 and U 200.
