Ukrainian mining and steel producing group Metinvest has stated that its metallurgical plants manufactured 33 new products in 2013. The economic benefit from these new products was $42.5 million.

Several Metinvest enterprises - Yenakiieve Steel, Azovstal, Ilyich Iron & Steel Works of Mariupol and Promet Steel (Bulgaria) - extended their rolled products portfolios in the given year.

The new products include S890Q high strength plates and 10-20 mm squares and sections made of 09Г2С and 10ХСНД steel grades. These materials are used for manufacturing cars and excavators.

In addition, Metinvest manufactured the following rolled products with improved characteristics: 8В channels and UIC60 rails with hardened side edges. It also extended the range of angle profiles and LSAW pipes, including sections and thermomechanically strengthened rolled products (S420M and S460M).

In 2013, Metinvest started manufacturing Св08ГА, Св08ГС, and Св08Г1МНА welding wire rod and wire rod in new sizes (8.5, 10.5, 11.0, and 13.0 mm) for the hardware industry (production of nails, bolts, screws and other fixing hardware). The strip product range was also extended (Х80, Х70М PSL1, X60M, and X60MSO PSL2). These products are used for oil and gas pipeline construction. Screw rebar and pit props from 20Г2АФ steel were made for use in roof bolting mine openings.

All of the new products have improved wear resistance. Thanks to the new products, Metinvest Group plans to increase its sales in Ukraine and abroad.
