Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language at the fairground
Russian is the working language of most stands and technical sessions, with English used by many international exhibitors and on bilingual catalogue entries. Business cards with Cyrillic and Latin script help, and a technical interpreter pays for itself in specification and contract meetings.
Business etiquette
Meetings tend to be formal and technical: exchange business cards, address counterparts by given name and patronymic where offered, and expect detailed questions about capacity, standards and service. Decisions usually need engineering and procurement sign-off, so leave time for follow-up rather than expecting an on-the-spot order.
Money and payments
Pricing on the ground is in roubles (RUB). Cards issued by foreign banks can be declined in Russia, so confirm payment options with your hotel and the organiser in advance, carry enough cash for daily expenses, and keep receipts for expense reporting.
Public holidays in May
Spring and Labour Day on 1 May and Victory Day on 9 May are public holidays with parades and road closures in central Moscow. If your travel window overlaps these dates, expect adjusted museum, restaurant and transport schedules and allow extra time on the roads.
Dress and daily practicalities
Business dress is standard at the fairground, with comfortable shoes for long days on concrete floors. Late spring weather is changeable, so a light waterproof layer over a suit or jacket is more useful than heavy outerwear.
Air quality and health
Moscow air quality can reach levels that affect sensitive groups; an Open-Meteo forecast during the run-up to the late-May period showed US AQI around 118 with PM2.5 near 42 micrograms per cubic metre. Travellers with asthma or heart conditions should carry medication and check local advisories before the trip.
Getting around and taxi etiquette
Use the metro for scheduled journeys to the fairground district and app-based ride-hailing or hotel-arranged cars after dark. Avoid unlicensed taxis at airports and agree the fare or use the meter before departure; keep your passport and immigration card with you.
Tipping and dining
Restaurant bills often include a service charge; where they do not, rounding up or leaving around 10 percent is common. Business dinners are usually hosted rather than split, and a small gift from your home region is appreciated after a successful first meeting.

Ride-hail: Ride-hailing apps are commonly used in Moscow; confirm local availability before travel.
Public transit: Moscow public transport is operated under the city Transport Portal (transport.mos.ru) and includes the metro, buses and trams. Travellers commonly use the Troika stored-value card for metro and surface transport; check transport.mos.ru for current fares and routes to the venue district.
Parking: On-site parking is available at Moscow; confirm daily rates and hall access on the organiser or venue site.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: May 2027
Temperature: Late May in Moscow is late spring: daytime highs typically 17-22 C and overnight lows around 7-12 C, with noticeable day-to-day swings. Treat this as a seasonal norm and confirm the forecast for your exact travel dates before packing.
Seasonality: Spring showers are common in Moscow in late May, often short and followed by bright spells, and daylight lasts well into the evening, with sunset after 21:00. Pack a light waterproof jacket and layers rather than heavy winter clothing, and check the forecast in the final week because cold snaps and warm spells both occur. Air quality during the period has reached moderate-to-unhealthy-for-sensitive-groups levels on Open-Meteo forecasts, so sensitive travellers should check local advisories.
Packing: Pack layers for mild spring days, a light rain jacket, and comfortable walking shoes for metro and fairground distances; check the forecast close to departure.

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
What is the Metallurgy Russia exhibition and who is it aimed at?
It is a Moscow-based trade exhibition for the metallurgy and steel industry, listed at metallurgy-russia.ru, covering ironmaking, steelmaking, casting, rolling, finishing, refractories, ferroalloys, non-ferrous metals, scrap and recycling, plus plant services and automation. The audience is technical and commercial: mill engineers, procurement and logistics managers, equipment and consumable suppliers, EPC contractors and trading companies.
When and where is the next edition held?
Dates, hall and opening hours are published on the organiser site metallurgy-russia.ru, including the schedule page. Confirm the confirmed slot there before booking flights or hotel rooms, because trade fair calendars in Moscow can shift between halls and weeks.
Is the show open to trade visitors only or to the general public?
Metallurgy exhibitions of this type are business-to-business events: badges are issued to people working in or supplying the metals sector, and exhibitors plan their stand staffing around technical buyers rather than consumers. Check the visitor registration page for the current admission rules and any proof of company affiliation required.
How do I register and get my badge?
Registration is handled through the organiser website: complete the visitor form, receive a confirmation with a QR code or badge number, and collect the pass at the on-site badge desk on arrival. Bring a passport or ID matching the registration name, since Russian venue access control is strict.
Is there an entrance fee or a published ticket price?
Ticket and badge pricing is set by the organiser and is not published as a fixed public price list in the sources reviewed, so check the registration page on metallurgy-russia.ru for the current fee, early-bird terms and whether online pre-registration is free of charge.
How do I get from Sheremetyevo (SVO) to the exhibition venue?
Take the Aeroexpress rail service from the airport terminal into central Moscow, then continue by metro to the station serving the fairground district; a taxi or pre-booked transfer is the alternative for heavy luggage. Aeroexpress tickets are in the region of a few hundred roubles and metro rides are inexpensive, so check live fares on aeroexpress.ru and transport.mos.ru before travelling.
Do I need a visa to attend from abroad?
Most foreign nationals need a Russian visa obtained before travel, and business travellers usually need an invitation from the Russian host company or organiser. E-visa eligibility, processing times and document lists depend on nationality and change periodically, so confirm with the Russian consulate in your country and ask the organiser for visa support early.
What language is used at the fair?
Russian is the working language of most stands, technical presentations and negotiation meetings, with English used by many international exhibitors and on bilingual catalogue entries. For contract or specification discussions, arrange an interpreter with metallurgical vocabulary in advance rather than relying on ad hoc translation.
Where should I stay in Moscow for the show?
Hotels on the metro network within a 20-40 minute ride of the fairground district give the best balance of price and access, since the metro avoids peak-hour road congestion. Central Moscow 4-star hotels typically run higher than airport-area business hotels; book early in late May, when the city also hosts public holidays and parades.
Can I find the exhibitor list and product catalogue before I travel?
Yes, the organiser normally publishes an exhibitor catalogue and hall plan on metallurgy-russia.ru ahead of the show. Use it to shortlist equipment suppliers by process step (sinter, coke, BF, BOF, EAF, casting, rolling, finishing, refractories) and to request meetings before arrival.
How do I book stand space as an exhibitor?
Stand space is contracted directly with the organiser; shell scheme, space-only and technical services such as power, compressed air, rigging and water are ordered through the official exhibitor manual. Rates are quoted on request and are not published as fixed public prices, so ask for the current floor plan and technical regulations early in planning.
What payment methods work in Moscow?
Expect rouble (RUB) pricing on the ground. Cards issued by foreign banks can be declined in Russia, so confirm payment options with your hotel and the organiser in advance, carry sufficient cash for daily expenses and keep receipts for expense reporting.
What is the weather like during the show period in late spring?
Late May in Moscow is late spring: daytime highs usually reach the high teens to low twenties Celsius, nights are still cool and showers are common, with long daylight hours. Pack layered clothing and a light waterproof jacket, and check the forecast in the final week before departure.
Are there safety or health considerations specific to Moscow?
Moscow is a large capital with normal big-city precautions: keep passport and immigration card with you, avoid unlicensed taxis and use app-based ride-hailing or hotel-arranged cars. Air quality can reach levels that affect sensitive groups, so travellers with asthma or heart conditions should carry medication and check local air-quality advisories.
Glossary
- Blast furnace (BF)
- Primary ironmaking reactor where iron ore, sinter or pellets, coke and fluxes are reduced at high temperature to produce hot metal for steelmaking; BF route capacity, coke rate and stove/off-gas heat recovery are recurring topics for Russian integrated mills.
- Direct reduced iron (DRI / HBI)
- Solid metallic iron produced by reducing iron ore below the melting point using natural gas or coal; sold as DRI or hot-briquetted iron and used mainly as a clean, high-purity charge for electric arc furnaces.
- Electric arc furnace (EAF)
- Scrap- or DRI-based steelmaking furnace using graphite electrodes; EAF shops dominate long-product production and drive demand for scrap handling, shredders, electrode and off-gas systems shown by equipment suppliers.
- Basic oxygen furnace (BOF) / converter
- Steelmaking vessel in which oxygen is blown through hot metal to burn off carbon and impurities; BOF shops are the main route for flat products and drive demand for converter linings, oxygen lances and secondary metallurgy.
- Secondary metallurgy / ladle metallurgy
- Refining steps after primary melting: ladle furnace (LF) heating and alloying, vacuum degassing (VD/VOD) for hydrogen and nitrogen removal, calcium treatment and inclusion control to meet cleanliness specifications for pipeline, bearing and automotive steels.
- Continuous casting
- Casting molten steel through a water-cooled mould into a moving strand that is cut into semi-finished products; key equipment families include tundishes, moulds, oscillators, electromagnetic stirrers and secondary cooling.
- Billet, bloom and slab
- Semi-finished long, square or rectangular cast sections. Billets feed long-product mills (rebar, wire rod), blooms feed sections and rail, and slabs feed hot strip mills for flat products.
- Hot rolling and cold rolling
- Hot rolling deforms reheated semi-finished steel above recrystallisation temperature into plate, strip, section or rail; cold rolling follows pickling to produce thinner, higher-tolerance strip for automotive, appliance and packaging use.
- Pickling, annealing and galvanizing
- Finishing line family: acid or hydrochloric pickling removes scale, annealing (batch or continuous) restores ductility, and hot-dip or electrolytic galvanizing applies zinc or zinc-alloy coatings for corrosion protection.
- Sintering and pelletizing
- Iron ore agglomeration steps that prepare fine ore for the blast furnace; sintering plants and pelletizing discs or grate-kiln systems are a major equipment and refractory spend category for integrated steelworks.
- Coke oven battery
- Bank of ovens carbonising coal in the absence of air to produce metallurgical coke, plus by-product plant for tar, benzol and coke oven gas; battery pushing, quenching and emissions control are frequent modernisation projects.
- Ferroalloys
- Alloying agents such as ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, ferrochrome and ferronickel added to control steel chemistry; producers exhibit smelting furnaces, raw material handling and alloy briquetting solutions.
- Refractories
- Heat-resistant brick and monolithic linings for furnaces, ladles, tundishes and converters; suppliers at metallurgy trade fairs present shaped and unshaped products, gunning masses and lining life-cycle services.
- Beneficiation / ore dressing
- Crushing, grinding, gravity, magnetic and flotation processes that upgrade run-of-mine ore into concentrate before smelting or pelletizing; equipment includes crushers, mills, screens, thickeners and slurry pumps.
- Non-ferrous metallurgy
- Production of copper, nickel, aluminium, zinc, lead and precious metals, typically via concentrator, smelter and refinery or hydrometallurgical (SX-EW) routes; a separate equipment and technology segment alongside iron and steel.
- Mill test certificate (EN 10204 3.1)
- Inspection document issued with steel products, linking heat number to mechanical and chemical test results; buyers use it to verify compliance with EN, GOST or customer specifications at delivery.
- Scrap and metallics
- Recycled steel feed for EAF and BOF shops, graded by size, density and residual elements; scrap processing equipment, shears, balers and shredders are exhibited alongside metallics trading services.
- Carbon intensity and CBAM
- CO2 emitted per tonne of steel or aluminium and the EU carbon border mechanism applied to imports of iron, steel and aluminium; it is pushing Russian producers to document emissions and invest in EAF, DRI and energy-efficiency projects.
