HISTORY

The Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 interrupts the development of PJSC “Zaporizhstal”. August 18, 1941 the work of the plant was shut down completely.

In October 1941, under difficult conditions approaching front was completed dismantling basic equipment PJSC “Zaporizhstal” in the heartland sent more than 50 tons of unique metallurgical equipment. Later it was installed in factories in Russia, on Magnitogorsk Zaporizhstal martenovtsy mastered armor steel smelting furnaces in heavy main vault.

Postwar reconstruction PJSC “Zaporizhstal” becomes a priority for the country. In June 1947, included in the system restored DP number 3, June 1948 – DP number 4. This unit became the country’s first all-welded blast furnace. Welding hull number 4 DP specialists carried out in just 34 days.

By December 1949 PJSC “Zaporizhstal” resumed steelmaking and overlooked the prewar production level.

After 1945, the economy is in dire need of sheet steel for the automotive industry. All attention was drawn to Zaporizhstal recovery rolling production. In July 1947, the first laminated slabbing ingots recovered in August – a continuous hot rolling mill.

In November 1948 at the plant mastered rolling broadband structural autoleaf. He used the Gorky Automobile Plant in the production of the first “national” car “Victory”.

For the development of thin cold-rolled sheet production, urgently needed for automobile and agricultural machinery, PJSC “Zaporizhstal” in 1947 was awarded the Order of Lenin.

In August 1951, the PJSC “Zaporizhstal” is included in the operation of the sinter plant.

In December 1952 PJSC “Zaporizhstal” – the first time in the country – the first produced by melting oxygen blowing, their technology has been tested in conjunction with specialists from the Central Research Institute of Ferrous Metallurgy.

In December 1952 PJSC “Zaporizhstal” – the first time in the country – the first produced by melting oxygen blowing, their technology was worked out together with the specialists of the Central Research Institute of Ferrous Metallurgy.

Since 1954, PJSC “Zaporizhstal” moves to the industrial application of oxygen in steel production. The average duration of melting in this decreases by 2 hours, and per square meter of hearth Steelmakers removed 100 tons of steel more.

In 1956, the country goes to the cinema screens cult film “Spring on Zarechnaya Street”, where the role of steelworker Sasha Savchenko removed actor Nikolai Rybnikov. Filming of the movie took place in MK “Zaporizhstal” and get used to the way of helping young steelworker Rybnikovu steelmaker Zaporizhstal Gregory Pometun. In 1953, when Gregory Pometun was 23, he had already led the youth team and won the title of “Best steelworker Soviet Union.” Hero of Socialist Labor title Grigory was given when he was 28 years old.
