Durgapur/New Delhi, 29th November, 2017: Alloy Steels Plant (ASP) of Steel Authority of India Ltd. (SAIL) today received the “BEST PERFORMANCE VENDOR – 2017” award from Ordnance Factory, Medak (OF-M) for indigenization, development and supply of import substitute steel plates. The steel plates in two categories, for which SAIL received the award, were supplied by Durgapur-based ASP, the special steels plant of SAIL. The award was received by Mr. AK Patra, DGM I/c (Research & Control Lab.)/ SAIL-ASP, at the Ordnance Factory’s Vendors’ meet held in Medak.
Plates made with two special-grade varieties of low- and medium-carbon steels developed at SAIL-ASP as import substitutes were supplied to OF-M for meeting the specific property requirements of defence applications such as muzzle brake for cannons/barrels installed in infantry fighting amphibious vehicles and their bottom parts. Muzzle brake is a component that is fitted on top of the cannon or barrel that redirects propellant gases to counter recoil and unwanted rising of the barrel/cannon during rapid fire. Apart from meeting stringent chemical properties, the plates developed by SAIL-ASP also excel in matching physical attributes of the plates like excellent surface finish and formability along with meeting the specified properties as stipulated in heat-treated conditions.

For Defence applications, the Plant manufactures high impact-resistant steels (armour-grade steels) and customized steels for Naval applications.
