Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) is all set to roll out high strength steel of strategic importance using Russian technology.
An interactive session pertaining to heat-making, rolling, heat treatment and testing of the high strength steel was held here recently where Russian steel-making experts and Indian defence scientists were present, an RSP statement said.
Technology for manufacturing of this very high-strength steel is being transferred from Russia to India.
The process of manufacturing this steel consists of trial production, mastering production and certification of the process and product, it said.
The team also witnessed heat-making of this high strength steel at SMS-II through RH degasser. The chemistry obtained during heat-making was extremely satisfactory and within the range specified in the technical documentation supplied by the Russian experts, the statement said.
Steel making experts from Prism Promety, St Petersberg, Russia and senior scientists from the Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory (DMRL), Hyderabad, and CCNM, Hyderabad were present at the interactive session.
