In Ukraine, a new steel for agricultural machinery

The Mariupol Metallurgical Combine Ilyich has mastered the production of rolled and thick-rolled products from a new steel grade. This is stated in the message of the Metinvest group, which includes the company.

Steel brand 38MNB5 has a high wear resistance, durability and resistance to stress, the material is used in the production of agricultural equipment - reports minprom.ua.

This year, Metinvest Group has already delivered more than 2 thousand tons of rolled products from this material to one of the leading Ukrainian manufacturers of agricultural equipment, Elvorti - Chervona zirka (Kropivnitsky).

"The metallurgists also began rolling sheets at minus tolerances. This reduced the weight of agricultural equipment and its cost," the report of Metinvest says.
