MKEK's Touch on YHT Wheels: With the meltshop established in Kırıkkale, imports are expected to decrease by 3/1, and these steels are planned to be used in domestic weapons. Mechanical and Chemical Industry Corporation (MKEK) established under çelikhaneyl, the annual 120 thousand tons of steel produced, aims to reduce Turkey's dependence on foreign sources.
Turkey's most important contribution in providing the defense industry MKEK Heavy Weapon and Steel Factory continues the construction of the steel mill built on-site facilities. The meltshop, whose construction started in July last year with an investment of 62 million euros, is planned to be put into service in April next year.
MKEK Heavy Weapons and Steel Factory Manager Gunduz Güler said 380 personnel are working in the factory where heavy weapons and steel production is made.
From Turkey FIRST '
MKEK Heavy Weapons and explaining that Turkey's first high-quality steel production mill Steel Plant Guler, "began the production of steel in 1930. As the steel production method could not catch up with the current technology over the years, its production decreased over time. Last year, the production amount decreased to 25 thousand tons. " said.
The duration of the construction of the steelworks, the situation is reversed, indicating Gul will return, annual production capacity of 120 thousand tons of liquid steel plant, in terms of the reduction of Turkey's steel import stressed the utmost importance.
ALTAY, MİLGEM AND DOMESTIC STEEL
Stating that they aim to meet the forged steel needs of the Turkish industry with the remaining capacity, Güler said, “In recent years, important breakthroughs have been made in the Turkish defense industry. These are the Altay tank, MİLGEM Project, Storm and Panther howitzers. We aim to use quality steel that we will produce here in these weapons. " he spoke.
MKEK TOUCH TO YHT WHEELS
According to the protocol signed by MKEK with the Ministry of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communication, Güler said that the new steel mill investment will be the first stage of this project.
Gündüz Güler emphasized that they aim to stop the import of monoblock train wheels with the steel to be produced at the facility, and said, “We anticipate to purchase a new 4 thousand 500 tons hydraulic free forging press in our factory for the use of forged steel in different sectors of the Turkish industry. The discussions between the Undersecretariat of Defense Industry and MKEK on this issue continue. largest steel production plant in Turkey in the production of high quality steel can say. " used the expressions.
for many years, the MKE institution with the Kardemir, the railway wheel will say that the manufacturing will be standing. There is nothing in the middle of the production of the tire is difficult to manufacture. Thanks to the competition in the world market price is normal level. It is not easy to enter the wheel auction. The wheel must also be tested under 3-5 year vehicle. The quality of the steel comes after the quality of production. then the goal is reached. Easy gele.
