DSS steel-making process is effected in four steel-making shops equipped with open basic electric arc furnaces with capacity of 30 to 60 tons, one 8-ton induction furnace and ESR-and VAR-furnaces. Ingots applied are 0,215 to 7,4 tons in weight. Steel can be cast in sheet slabs 8,9 to 14,7 tons in weight .

The steel -making shop 1 is equipped with a semi-continuous casting unit to produce consumable electrodes with square side of 370 mm for further electro-slag remelting and round electrodes 405 mm in dia for vacuum arc remelting.

In the steel -making shop 2 an argon-oxygen refining converter is installed, which allows  producing low-carbon corrosion resistant stainless steel by duplex process - open electric arc furnace plus converter (EAF+AOD).

In the steel-making shop 3 high quality characteristics of steel are obtained by treatment of semi-product in a DANIELI ladle-furnace with further degassing of the melt in a MANNESMANN DEMAG - degasser.

The steel -making shop 5 is equipped with ESR- and VAR-furnaces of various capacities. Ingots for further working 0,9 to 6,0 tons in weight and sheet slabs of 9,3 to 20,0 tons can be produced.

Steel products of high quality corresponding to strict requirements for metal structure and harmful impurities content can be manufactured by ESR-process.

For ESR-process consumable electrodes cast in semi-continuous casting units are used, as well as forged, rolled consumable electrodes made out of semiproducts.

The manufacture of bearing, structural and stainless steel, Ni-FeNi- based alloys and bimetallic ingots combining carbon and stainless steel by VAR-process is implemented. High quality steel products free of any non-metallic inclusions can be obtained by vacuum- arc remelting.

For VAR-process consumable electrodes cast in semi-continuous casting units and poured in chill moulds of special shape are used.

In 1980 the powder metallurgy shop was put into operation, which allows producing tool and high-speed steels with unique characteristics. Steel-making process takes place in the induction furnace with capacity of 4 tons. Subsequent applying of cold and hot isostatic pressing at the temperature 1100-1150°C and at the pressure 1000 atm. (ASEA-STORA process) permits to obtain metal structure characterized by homogeneity showing no evidence of carbide network in the shape of extrusions 450 mm in dia and 1,8 t in weight. The shop produces round forgings from 80 up to 350 mm in dia, 1-5 m in length. DSS technical specialists have mastered diverse gamut of tool ledeburitic steel grades, as well as steel grades with high vanadium content (9-11%V) and steel grades without tungsten. The product range of delivered steel grades made by powder metallurgy method is 1.9 - 350 mm.

We have mastered more than 30 high-speed and tool steel grades made by powder metallurgy in accordance with GOST, DIN and ASTM .
