The Market Leader of Alloy Steels in Pakistan

COMPANY PROFILE

Peoples Steel Mills Ltd., a world class alloy and special steel
manufacturing plant located in Manghopir Karachi and spread
over an area of 100 acres was set-up by the Government of
Pakistan in 1975 with japanese assistance.

In order to keep pace with emerging technologies, the plant was

upgraded in 1996 through a comprehensive balancing &
modernization programme with the technical assistance of VAIS,
INTECO and Bohler of Austria. The plant is now equipped with
modern melting, refining, degassing, electro slag re-melting and
necessary casting, rolling and forging facilities with an annual
capacity of 70,000mt. Product quality is assured through modern
material testing facilities and well trained staff.

The plant has the capability to produce Steels according to all

major international quality standards and to date has
manufactured more than 300 steel grades.

Peoples Steel enjoys the highest market share in the alloy and
special steel market of Pakistan. A diversified base of more than
200 customers includes high profile illustrious end users in
automotive, defence, machinery construction, special/ high rise
buildings, transportation and engineering sectors in Pakistan.
Components manufactured from our steels are also supplied by
our customers to renowned European automobile
manufacturers.

In addition to manufacturing/ supply of quality steels Peoples

Steel is also extending expertise in the following fields:

Material Testing & Analyzing-Chemical, Mechanical, NDT,

Metallography, Failure Analysis.

Industrial Projects & Services-Plant Fabrication & Installation.

Seamless Pipe Manufacturing-Pipes/ Tubes upto 300mm

diameter are expected to be available in near future.

PROCESSES DESIGNED
TO PRODUCE CLEAN STEELS
“Clean” and Vacuum Degassed Steels

Non-metallic inclusions in steel can lead to internal

defects resulting in poor quality products. In
addition to product consistency and performance,
fatigue strength and tool and die life also correlate
strongly with clean/ degassed steels.

Peoples Steel employs state-of-the-art melting

and reflining techniques to manufacture steels with
low levels of non-metallic inclusions, residual
elements and well controlled gas contents.

Non-Metalic Inclusions
QUALITY ASSURANCE: MATERIAL TESTING,
INSPECTION & FAILURE ANALYSIS
To meet the stringent quality requirements and adherence
to the international quality standards Peoples Steel has
strong quality assurance system and employs
state-of-the-art metarial testing and analyzing facilities as
follows:

Chemical Analysis

Material Identification

Mechanical Testing

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

Metallography

Failure Analysis

Corrosion Testing

In addition to in-house use, PSM also extend the Material

Testing/ Inspection and Failure Analysis including third party
inspection to other process industries in the field of
petro-chemicals, fertilizer, steel and railway etc.
