Since 2014, JSC EVRAZ ZSMK began to master the production of reinforcing bars according to foreign standards. This is a fundamentally new product for the plant, manufactured using heat-hardening technology, which has high mechanical properties. At present, the reinforcing bar of the whole range, produced at JSC EVRAZ ZSMK according to foreign standards, meets the technical requirements for chemical composition, mechanical properties and profi le’s geometric parameters.
