VIZ-Stal (NLMK Group) awarded an order for a decarburization and coating line (DCL) for its plant in Ekaterinburg, Russia to an international furnace provider for sustainable solutions in the metals industry. The company expects that the DCL will start production by the end of 2021.
International heat treat plant provider with locations in North America, Tenova received the VIZ-Stal (NLMK Group) contract through its company Tenova LOI Thermprocess, an industrial furnace plant provider based in Essen. Through the cooperation between this competence center, which specializes in heat treatment furnaces, as well as Tenova Italimpianti, the competence center for strip processing, the new line will provide one of the important stages of grain-oriented (GO) electrical strip production. Steel final processing will be carried out at a newly-built plant located in India.

The contract includes the engineering, the supply and supervision services of mechanical and process equipment, the furnace system, and the related electrical, measuring, and control systems for the DCL.
"We are very pleased for this new order which confirms the reliability of the leading Tenova technology and underlines our strategic partnership with NLMK and VIZ-Stal," said Peter Wendt, vice president of Tenova LOI Thermprocess. "The NLMK Group is one of our most faithful clients with more than ten orders over the past fifteen years. The new DCL Line will ensure the highest surface and best magnetic properties required by the market."
"NLMK selected Tenova on the basis of the large number of references for similar heat treatment lines," explained Valery Shevelev, general director of Silicon Production at NLMK Group. “The short execution time is another important factor that led us to choose Tenova as partner for this project."
