Production of alloy steel for heavy plates

“…In 1941, 60.5 ths t armor steel were made in MMW; in 1944, 330 ths t armor steel were made (which accounted for 10% of the total steel output in MMW). In 1972, the manufacture of armor metal was transferred to open hearth shop 1 in 280 t furnaces because of the necessity of increasing the output of steel in MMW, and all basic points of the process developed in the 1940s were were retained [4].…”
