Abstract
The use of continuous steel casting at the Vyksa Metallurgical Plant to make semifinished products for wheels is making it possible to improve the quality of the wheels and reduce the metal consumption coefficient. At the same time, the plant has needed to find ways to shorten the wheel production cycle so as to lower the cost of this product. This is now being done by eliminating the soaking operation and shortening the heating period that precedes quenching.
