From our service center in Hoyerswerda

and office in Dresden we can promptly

respond to the customer needs and pro-

pany
vide the full range of pre- and post-sales

services to our customers

from Central and Western Europe.

VOL-Stahl GmbH is a subsidiary of the Russian steel

mill Omutninsk Metallurgical Plant, the leading pro-
ducer of special steel profiles in Russia and CIS coun-
Omutninsk,
tries with an overall production experience of more Russia
than 230 years.

With its own steel-making furnaces, rolling mills, cold draw- Dresden,
ing benches and milling machines our parent company is able Germany
to control the production processes on all stages of the value
chain.

One of the competitive advantages of Omutninsk Metallurgical

Plant is that it is a complete steel mill and is able to influence
the chemical composition of material and create specific al-
loys in order to meet particular requirements to the profile.

industry engineering

For the automotive industry VOL-Stahl GmbH delivers

a wide range of profiles that are used in the produc-
tion of door hinges, pole shoes, valve cotters, truck
wheels and other parts of vehicles.

Tight tolerances, high smoothness of surface, wear-

resistant alloys - these are some of the most com-
mon requirements to the profiles applied in ma-
chine building industry.

VOL-Stahl GmbH provides producers of machines, tools

Especially for the needs of automotive industry our engineers have and instruments with a variety of cold drawn profiles

ties of material with outstanding machinability. Implementation of
profiles produced from this steel enables our customers to signifi-
cantly increase the durability of milling instruments.
10 Door and safety Standard 11
systems high precision profiles

Standard DIN and ISO profiles round, square,

flat, hexahedrons, T-nuts and other profiles can
be produced by different methods depending on the
requirements to the quality of the surface.

For producers of door systems and safety elements VOL-Stahl GmbH

offers a range of hot rolled and cold drawn profiles that are em-
ployed as intermediates in the production of door elements, various
parts of locks, keys and door hinges of safes.

Other application We supply cold rolled and cold drawn standard sections as

areas well as peeled round bars with a surface quality of up to h9.

Profile type Dimensions

Round from 10 to 70 mm
Square from 10 to 50 mm
Hexahedron from 10 to 50 mm
Flats (16 127) x (4 30) mm
Application of special steel profiles is not limited by a set of industries. T-Nuts from M4 to M48
Profiles supplied by VOL-Stahl GmbH are applied in diverse branches
of economy - from production of plastic windows to automatic rifles.
12 Elevator guide Specialties 13
rails

A specialty in the delivery program of VOL-Stahl
GmbH are elevator guide rails cold drawn (A),
machined (B), as well as high quality (BE) guide rails
and corresponding accessory parts. All our guide
rails are produced in compliance with ISO 7465.
Products that also distinguish us from other
producers of special steel profiles are seamless
pipes, hollow profiles and twisted drilling rods.
Seamless pipes are commonly employed in the production of
bearings, whereas for example hollow hexahedrons are usually
applied as extension drilling rods in mining industry.

For producers of elevators and elevator components we also

deliver various cold drawn profiles that are applied in the pro-
duction of lift cabins and door systems.
Product Dimensions
Seamless pipe from 23x6 to 51x10 mm
Dimensions from T45/A to T127-2cl4/B
Hexahedron from 10 to 50 mm
Weight per meter from 3,3 to 23,2 kg
Cross section from 4,25 to 29,53 cm2
Length 2500 mm; 5000 mm

Pro- 3 Hot rolling
Square billets produced on a previous stage
are heated to the temperature of about

cess
1150C and then rerolled into the desired
shape.

In order to obtain a small profile from a

billet, material must be sequentially rolled
on several lines, which is set by a high draft
ratio for small sections.

Cold rolling
At this production step hot rolled material is
used as semiproduct for further cold defor-
mation.

Qual-
ity
Quality obtains tremendous attention on the Omutninsk
Metallurgical Plant, the key supplier of VOL-Stahl GmbH.
The continuous control over the technological processes
is conducted on all stages of the production and timely
adjustments are carried out if needed.

In order to be labeled as finished products go

through several inspection points, which include
both stream inspection and sample checks on
defectoscopes. Such approach allows completely
exclude products that do not comply with the
specified parameters.

All business processes on the enterprise are in

line with the international quality standard ISO
9001:2001 and ISO TS 16949 for automotive pro-
duction and relevant service part organizations.
