On the last Sunday of September in the town of Zhodino, is celebrated Day of the Machine engineer, who is also the same day the city. On this day, two of the largest enterprises in the city held an open day. Naturally most of the visitors goes to BelAZ, forgetting about the Forge Plant, but in vain.

2.Zavod entered service December 25, 1981, when it was put into operation the shop of wheels intended for the production of 11, 5 thousand tons of rims for cars "BelAZ". Today the company specializes in the manufacture of forgings and stampings from rolled, forging on crank and hot stamping presses, forging hammers, hammers forging followed by heat treatment and purification, as well as in the manufacture of rails, the rear axle housing, front axle beams, rims family BelAZ and MAZ trucks

22.



23. We leave the termichku. By the way, pay attention, tiled metal plates



24.Uchastok heat treatment. To bring metals and their alloys properties of elasticity, ductility, strength increasing use different methods of heat treatment, such as thermo-mechanical processing and chemical-thermal method.
In order to prepare products for further processing steps in a so-called pre-processing type - a joke, that is, heating and maintenance of the product at high temperature, followed by gradual cooling to increase the plasticity of the material.
