NLMK has commissioned a new grain-oriented electrical steel laser treatment unit with a capacity of 54,000 tonnes per year. This is NLMK Group fourth line for the production of steels with advanced magnetic properties.

Adding steel surface laser treatment to the finishing stage reduces specific magnetic losses by 8-10%. This enables our customers to make energy efficient transformers in line with the toughening market requirements.
