СMK. History. 2009-today
In 2009, in the Sheet Rolling Workshop the aluminum alloy sheet cutting line was upgraded to produce the sheets of 2,500 mm in width and 9,500 mm in length with the cutting tolerance of 5 mm that resulted in the increased yield and enabled the production output to be compliant with the strictest international standards.
Since 2010, the global scale production upgrading is in progress. The new concept of the company development is approved. It intends to develop the heat-resistant materials production and adoption of knowhow and new materials.
In 2012, we signed the contract with ALD, the manufacturer from Germany, for supply of three furnaces incorporating the integrated casting and melting facility to produce the bulky ingots of heat-resistant nickel-based alloys. We also signed a contract with Siempelkamp Maschinen in Germany for the profound upgrading of the forging and pressing equipment in Workshop No. 630.
In 2012, in Non-Ferrous Metallic Powder Workshop No. 40, the second granule metallurgy line, was launched and the machining area was commissioned to machine the disks of Gas Turbine Engines for MiG and Sukhoy aircraft, 5th generation aircrafts, and others.
Within 2012-2013, the Test Centre is extended with new equipment. LS-200 ScanMaster USI unit is implemented in the serial production. ATS 2330 testers are installed to provide the disk blank sample endurance test in high temperature.
In 2013, new ALD furnaces are mounted in the Casting and Melting Facility. The workshop started the tests at the end of the year.
On November 1, 2013 CMK JSC has commissioned the upgraded Forging and Pressing Facility in Workshop No. 630. Its structure contains 46MN forging press upgraded by Siempelkamp and 100MN Die-Forging Press, two heavy-duty manipulators, and rotary table integrated with the manipulators, Glama handling machines, Löcher high-temperature gas furnaces, and Electrotherm electric chamber furnaces for blank quenching and ageing.
