Ilyich Iron & Steel Works of Mariupol launched production of DC01 cold rolled products according to European standard EN 10130. These products are in high demand in key export steel markets.

Ilyich Iron & Steel Works of Mariupol started manufacturing DC01 rolled products in coils with a weight of up to 16 tons from BOF steel in its cold rolling shop. Previously, cold rolled products were manufactured mainly from 08kp OHF steel according to GOST, which restricted sales. Metinvest's customers can purchase 0.5-2.0 mm thick and 500-1,250 mm wide products (cut edges). The mechanical and chemical properties of the rolled products are fully in line with European standards.

DC01 rolled steel is widely used to manufacture pipes, structural elements, heating units, household appliance cases and other products. DC01 cold rolled products manufactured at Ilyich Iron & Steel Works of Mariupol are planned to be delivered to Europe and to the Middle East.

Dmitry Nikolaenko, sales director of Metinvest Group:

"Metinvest is working stably and implementing measures to strengthen customer focus and the competitiveness of our products. Moving to selling heavier BOF coils allows for expanding sales and increasing rolling mills capacity utilization. In 2015, we plan to launch about 20 new types of rolled products that are in demand in the construction, machine building, mining, oil & gas, and pipe manufacturing industries."
