Actually, this wire rod has already been
produced at the works, but it was manufactured using an outdated method from
blooming ingots. The new wire rod, made of billets from converter shop, has a
more stable level of chemical composition and mechanical properties.
Since
blooming (when ingots were heated and rolled, thus, increasing expenses) was
excluded from the process, cost price of the product decreased by $50 per ton.
