EVRAZ ZSMK has received a certificate of conformity for a new class of rebar rolled products A500SEC. The plant has already produced the first batch of these products. This is stated in the company's message.
The A500SEC rebar combines high plasticity, which allows it to withstand large residual deformations without destruction, and at the same time has high strength. Experts also note the endurance of rolled A500SEC under repeated cyclic loads, resistance to atmospheric corrosion and increased adhesion to concrete.
In order to provide the required set of properties, special alloy steel was used for the production of this reinforcement, and on large diameters – steel with the addition of vanadium, a special thermal hardening mode was selected.
The A500SEC reinforcement can be used for construction in seismic areas with an estimated seismicity of 8 and 9 points, as well as for reinforcing poles for power lines, beams and other supporting structures.
EVRAZ is a vertically integrated metallurgical and mining company with assets in Russia, Kazakhstan, the USA, Canada and the Czech Republic. The company is among the largest steel producers in the world in terms of steel production. Its own base of iron ore and coking coal almost completely meets the internal needs of the company.
EVRAZ's net profit for the first half of 2021 increased by 2 times to $1.2 billion from $513 million a year earlier. Revenue increased by 24% to $6.2 billion from $4.98 billion, EBITDA increased by 94% to $2.08 billion from $1.07 billion.
