The complex provides an optimal technological cycle for tubes up to 24 meters long degreasing after they pass through the stages of cold rolling and sink drawing. Lubricant removal is necessary to prevent it from burning on the tubes during the subsequent heat treatment and on the heating coils of the furnaces.
Under the import substitution program, the range of welded stainless steel tubes made of austenitic steel grades has been expanded up to the 114 mm at TMK-INOX, a part of TMK. The products are intended for use under pressure and in environments requiring corrosion resistance of the material.
An installation for long-length tubes quality control by ultrasonic method UMK-25, including rotary inspection system and transport mechanization of tube feeding was put into operation at TMK-INOX (a joint project of RUSNANO and TMK) at the site in Kamensk-Uralsky.
A coil metal slitting line was put into operation at TMK-INOX (a joint project of RUSNANO and TMK) at the site in Kamensk-Uralsky, as part of the strategic program for reconstruction of the stainless tubes production. The equipment was supplied by the Swiss company SYTCO.
A through-type gas furnace SYTCO with ultra-pure hydrogen protective atmosphere was put into operation at TMK-INOX (a joint project of ROSNANO and TMK) at the site in Kamensk-Uralsky, as part of the strategic program for reconstruction of the stainless cold-worked tubes production.
TMK-INOX, a subsidiary of TMK, has commissioned a shop manufacturing stainless steel and alloy-based welded precision pipes.
