nonferrous and ferrous metallurgy world together form a metallurgical complex.These two areas cover all stages of the process, from mining and enrichment of raw materials, completing the finished product.Russia's steel industry is considered to be the foundation of the domestic engineering industry.This industry includes mining and agglomeration of manganese, iron and chromite ore, production of pig iron, rolled steel, blast furnace ferroalloys.
Metallurgy - it electroferroalloys production, coking coal, alloys secondary redistribution of mining auxiliary materials (magnesite, limestone flux), the production of refractory materials.In this sector also included the release of products for production purposes.Throughout this complex as a kind of "bar" appears metallurgical conversion.All other production is associated, adjacent.
If we assess the level of concentration of production of ferrous metals, Russia holds the leading position in comparison with many industrialized nations.
is typical for the whole complex and the combination of production, developed strongly enough.A significant benefit seen with the combination of coking coal from metallurgical.The country has more than 95% of the coke produced in integrated enterprises.Modern large factories, where iron and steel industry is the main production are energo-metallurgical complexes.This definition reflects the nature of the internal technological links.
should be noted that the plant are the main type of industrial enterprises, which includes iron and steel.Domestic factories with a full production cycle release about 9/10 of all steel and iron and steel.In addition, there are enterprises engaged in production of rolled metal and steel or cast iron and steel (including metalware and pipe plants), as well as producing a separate rolling, steel and cast iron.
Metallurgy is an important factor rayonoobrazuyuschy.Besides the fact that there are numerous production through recycling various waste after iron smelting, the industry attracts and related areas of production.
The most typical companions steel industry include thermal power generation, which includes primarily the installation belonging to the plants, capable of operating on the secondary fuel (coke breeze, surplus blast furnace gas, etc.).Another co-production sphere is a metal-engineering.To this sphere mainly include the production of mining and metallurgical equipment, locomotives, steel, heavy machinery.
main iron ore deposits are concentrated in the area of the Kursk magnetic anomaly.It lies about 21.6 billion tons.About seven and a half billion tons are concentrated in the region of the Urals.The third scale is considered to be the region of Eastern Siberia.There are about 5.3 billion tons of iron ore.
largest deposits of manganese ores are located in Western Siberia, and chromite ore - in the region of the Urals.
for the steel industry are popular sources of raw materials such as the Urals, Kuzbass fuel base, Cherepovets field.
pig industry mainly focuses on the sources of recyclable materials.These include amortization scrap, waste production, consumption of steel.In addition, the importance and areas of consumption of finished products, due to the fact that the largest number of scrap accumulated in the development of engineering.
