TMK-INOX

Precision-engineered Pipes of Stainless Steel and Alloys

Production of high precision pipes by modifying the metal at the nanolevel to improve resistance to aggressive environments

Portfolio company TMK-INOX has designed its pipes for service in the energy sector, including nuclear power generation, also engineering, aviation and space. The company has introduced advanced cold-rolling mills, a new method of deformation and lubrication for forming hard, ultrathin separating layers suited to significant contact stress and plastic deformation. Ultrapure hydrogen, purified with nanostructured zeolite, preserves pipe properties during thermal processing and reduces the number of technological operations that are required.

The company’s products meet the most rigorous national and international standards. Since beginning the project, TMK-INOX has won notable shares in Russian markets, where foreign manufacturers used to dominate, and it has its strengthened positions in international markets.
