This branch includes: pattern, steel casting, forge and press, heat treatment, scrap shops and special casting shop.

Metallurgical facilities perform the following kinds of casting:

- steel and ferrous, including titanic casting according to consumable patterns;

- spun, shell, and chill casting etc.

It is also engaged in forging, hot stamping and deals with all types of thermal treatment and chemical thermal treatment.

Metallurgical facilities make the moldings of:

- integrally cast marine propellers and variable pitch propellers;

- hawse fittings, anchors, stern frame, stem, and tillers;

- propeller shaft struts, knights, mooring chocks and other devices; - ship fittings including valve bodies, hydraulic machines, covers and so on; - complicated shaped castings for ship plummer blocks and thrust bearings (bodies/supports and covers).

Castings are fabricated from carbon, low alloyed welding steels, titanic alloys and pig iron. Dimensional characteristics: 300-2500 mm, weight – up to 6000 kg. Castings of integral marine propellers and variable pitch propellers are fabricated from alloys, carbon and stainless high-chromium steels, which diameter is from 1500 to 6000 mm and weight up to 6000 kg.

There is a special bay involved in die casting for mass production of convectors, wrenches, unions, gas fitting, accessories, etc.
