JSC ZapSib

摘要

JSC ZapSib (Zapadno-Sibirsky Integrated Iron-and-Steel Works, Novokuznetsk, Kemerovo oblast), commissioned in 1964, was designated to satisfy demand for small sections and wire in Siberia and Far East. Since commissioning ZapSib was a sort of "experimental laboratory of ferrous metallurgy" for testing and introducing modern technologies and unique facilities, including dry quenching coke, casting through slide gate, obtaining pure iron oxide. In technological and construction level, steelmaking production of ZapSib is one of the best in Russia. The combine produces billet for re-rolling and bar, being leading Russian rebar producer (the combine is the main Russian producer of low-alloyed steel rebar and thermo-strengthened steel rebar). In 2003, ZapSib produces 9.6 percent of Russian crude steel and 9.5 percent of its rolled steel, 46% of its rebar, 51 percent of wire rod and 70 percent of its common wire.
