Obukhov Plant

JSC "Obukhov Plant" was founded on May 4 (16), 1863. The Partnership (P.M. Obukhov, N.I. Putilov, S.G. Kudryavtsev) and the Maritime Ministry signed a contract for the construction of a plant on the Shlisselburgsky tract in the village of Alexandrovsky. To do this, Emperor Alexander II ordered to transfer the necessary part of the land of the former Imperial Alexander Manufactory, located 12 versts from St. Petersburg on the banks of the Neva River with all residential buildings and structures located on it: "... this enterprise, if successful, should have state significance regarding the armament of fortresses and the construction of armored ships ..."

JSC "Obukhov Plant" — today is a large metallurgical and machine-building enterprise, part of the "North-Western Regional Center of the Concern East Kazakhstan Region "Almaz-Antey". Metallurgical production has undergone significant changes over the past 6 years. In 2015, a new production complex was put into operation, including a heat treatment site and a precision casting site. In 2017, a new molding shop was put into operation. 

The main activity of the Foundry is the production of castings from various grades of cast iron, steels and alloys. The workshop produces both shaped casting according to the HTS technology (cold-hardening mixtures) and precise casting that meets the requirements of OST 92-1166-86 according to LVM technology (casting according to smelted models).

Also, the technological capabilities of production allow us to make castings from aluminum, magnesium, copper and nickel alloys, both regulated by GOST, OST, and various technical specifications.

The presence of the company's own laboratories allows for such types of quality control as X-ray and ultrasound control, control of mechanical properties (requirements for hardness, strength, structure control), as well as the tightness of castings by the kerosene test method.

Each stage of manufacturing castings from the development of technology, the development of a CD for a model set and up to the delivery of finished products is accompanied by a technological service. The staff is made up of highly specialized technologists with extensive experience in foundry production.
