According to the Russian news agency Rusmet;
MMK holds 50 % of the market share in the supply of metal to Russian shipyards.
The development of Arctic hydrocarbon resources and the intensive use of the Northern Sea Route require the use of cold-resistant steel for the construction of icebreakers and marine equipment. The main materials for Arctic structures are low-alloy, high-strength, weldable steels with a ductile-brittle transition. Steel for icebreakers, offshore platforms and Arctic equipment must meet special requirements.
The MMK steels provide a competitive advantage by offering a unique combination of high strength, toughness and low temperature properties (down to -60˚C) with economical alloying. These steel grades can be used without restriction in arctic conditions and have no equal in the world. MMK is also developing the production of Ags index steels for use in the Far North.
