THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION
During the postwar years, the Kuznetsk Metallurgical Combine has achieved
& .number of important results in the-struggle for technical progress. Several
serious technical problems were. solved, including the development and intro-
duction of a high-speed method of blast-furnace reconstruction,. & marked improve-
ment in fine grinding of coking coal, an improvement in-the crushing and con-
centrating of iron ore, improved neutralization of ores, automatization of pro-
duction processes in metallurgical shops, and especially`of-heat conditions in
open-hearth furnaces, and a.perfectioit of blooming-shop operations.
FURNACES HAVE HIGHEST OUTPUT IN WORLD -- Moscow, Izvestiya, 3 Apr 52
The-open-hearth furnaces of the Kuznetsk Metallurgical Combine have the
highest annual output in the world. For example, furnaces of equal capacity
in the USA produce 30,000 tons of steel less than the furnaces of the Kuznetsk
Combine.
The shingling shop has achieved remarkable results. The'productivity of
similar machines in the USA is 50 percent below that of the Kuznetsk-shingling
mills.
Much has been achieved by miners of the Kuznetsk Metallurgical Combine.
During the first years of operation, the blast furnaces of the plant used duly 10
percent of local ore in the furnace charge, whereas now this per.:entage nas
been increased 7-8 times, thereby eliminating the necessity of shipping-large
.quantities of Magnitogorsk ore to Kuznetsk.
