  • Location: 1, Zavodskaya St., Novotroitsk, Orenburg Region, Russia, 462353
  • Coordinates (WGS 84): 51.214781, 58.353913 (exact)

Background

Initially, the plant was named the Orsko-Khalilovsky Metallurgical Plant (OHMK). Construction began in 1939. As with many other enterprises of that time, prison labor was used for the construction.[1] In 1955, the first crude iron was produced in the blast furnace No. 1.[1] In 1958, crude steel was first produced in the open-hearth furnace. Electric steelmaking was launched in 1981.[2] In 2013, the obsolete open-hearth production was closed.[1]

In 2019, EAF#1 and EAF#2 were modernized to use the FMF (Flexible Modular Furnace) technology, which allows for production of steel using a converter method without application of electrodes and consumption of electricity. The FMF furnace can use various raw material components (liquid and cold pig iron, hot-briquetted iron, scrap metal) with the possibility of increasing the proportion of liquid pig iron up to 85%. Among the advantages of this technology is the use of the energy from chemical reactions to melt a solid part of raw materials, which reduces energy consumption and minimizes production of waste gases.[3]

In April 2023, it was reported that the Ural Steel Metallurgical Plant was planning to increase production of steel by 2025 to 2400 TTPA as a result of upgrade of the EAF units and invest around RUB 7-10 billion into the project.[4][5]

Ownership

After the collapse of the USSR, the enterprise passed into private ownership and was renamed to the Novotroitsk Steel (NOSTA); since 2002 the plant bears its current name, "Ural Steel". In 2006-2022, the plant was part of Metalloinvest.[1]

In March 2022, Metalloinvest sold the plant to AO Zagorskii Trubnyi Zavod.[6]

BOF expansion project

In 2018, there was a proposal to build a 3000 TTPA BOF but it doesn't seem to have actualized as of March 2022; this project is still considered proposed.[7]

As of October 2023, there have not been any updates about the expansion. The project is considered to be cancelled.
