A section for thermal hardening of reinforcement has been introduced at the 280 mill of Yartsevo Casting and Rolling Plant. The equipment was developed and supplied by OAO VNIIMT, in collaboration with OAO KO VNIImetmash and ZAO Avtomatizirovannye Sistemy i Kompleksy (ASK), as well as the Yartsevo plant. The section includes equipment for thermal hardening of the reinforcement, with distributed water and air supply, a transport conveyer and tractional rollers, an independent water-supply system, and automated control systems. Optimal thermal-hardening conditions have been developed, and the industrial production of reinforcement of strength class A500S has begun.
