    Global crude steel prices hit as global output rises

    Gulf Daily reported that global crude steel production rose at an annual 2.2% rate in May as output in China hit new record levels and North American and European mills cranked up production, industry data showed, pressuring prices the world over.

    Data from the World Steel Association showed that global crude steel output hit 141 million tonnes in May, nearing the record seen in March. The increase was driven by an annual 2.6% growth in China's output to 70.4 MT.

    Global steel prices are at their lowest levels since August, and not far off the 3-1/2 year lows reached in June last year. The price falls have come despite an increase in demand in Western economies.

    Mr Jeremy Platts analyst of MEPS said that "Growth in steel output is exceeding growth in demand and is adding to the global surplus."

    According to China's General Administration of Customs, Chinese exports of steel, including stainless hit 8.07 MT in May, the highest ever level and an annual increase of 41.5% in the year to date.

    Output in Europe, the 2nd largest steel producing region after China, grew by 2.7% to 15.04 MT, while output in North America grew 3.3% to 10.22 MT, the World Steel Association data showed. The fast industrializing Middle East showed the highest growth rate in May, rising 7.3% to 2.4 MT.

    India can earn USD 10 billion from iron ore exports - Vedanta

    Financial Express reported that despite the steel ministry's reluctance to reduce export duty on iron ore, Mr Anil Agarwal chairman of Vedanta resources has supported the mining industry's demand to reduce the current 30% duty, stating that India could earn USD 10 billion if the government allows export of iron ore by reducing export duty structures.

    Mr Agarwal said that “Oil price hike may lead to forex outflow. Increase in Goa’s iron ore production for export can earn forex up to USD 10 billion. This comes days after mining industry stalwarts made a presentation to steel and mining minister Mr Narendra Singh Tomar.

    Mr Nik Senapati MD of Rio Tinto India said that “There is enough iron ore for the growing Indian steel industry. Export duty should be reduced.”

    The mining companies believed that the consequence of imposition of 30% export duty and increase in railway freight made iron ore uncompetitive, and Indian exports plummeted as a result. India's iron ore exports came down to 14.42 million tonne in 2013 to 2014 from 117.37 million tonne in 2009 to 2010.

    A senior executive from Vedanta said that with the present duty structure, the companies will be incurring a loss of USD 8 to 9 per tonne for iron ore of 55% Fe grade, if they export.

    However, the steel ministry wants the finance ministry to continue with the 30% duty on iron ore exports in the upcoming Budget, stating that restrictions on mining of iron ore in Karnataka have led to a steep drop of 35% in its output.

    Mechel shares take rollercoster ride on talk state sponsored debt aid

    The Moscow Times reported that hours after an investor exodus caused shares in Russian coal producer and steelmaker Mechel to plummet 19% in Moscow, Mr Alexei Ulyukayev economic development minister of Russia suggested that a state sponsored plan to save the debt laden company was still in the works.

    Mr Ulyukayev said that the government is in talks with state banks on providing RUB 180 billion as part of a restructuring package for loss making Mechel, which is tottering under nearly USD 8.6 billion of debt and has suffered repeated traumas on the stock market over the past year. The scheme would involve issuing bonds convertible into shares, which could be purchased by state development bank Vneshekonombank or VEB.

    He said that "The main thing being discussed is a bridge loan and then, the transfer of rights to demand collateral to VEB. It is possible that these rights will come through concrete convertible bonds."

    Banking sources familiar with the matter said that Russia's three largest state banks, Sberbank, VTB and Gazprombank, could provide Mechel with RUB 35 billion bridge loan ahead of the bond issue.

    Recent media reports have suggested that Mechel's creditors as of April 10, Mechel owed USD 2.3 billion to Gazprombank, USD 1.8 billion to VTB and USD 1.3 billion to Sberbank were angling to dethrone Mr Igor Zyuzin Mechel's board chairman and main shareholder and appoint a manager able to place the company back on its feet.

    Mr Zyuzin rated by Forbes as Russia's 194th richest person with a fortune of USD 450 million, has led Mechel for two decades. He was at the wheel when the company scooped up assets in the mid 2000s. When the 2008 crisis hit, Mechel was forced to borrow heavily, creating difficulties for the company in March and November, Mechel's share price tumbled 40% and at the end of last year the company negotiated debt restructuring with its biggest creditors.

    A meeting between Mechel's creditors and officials chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Mr Igor Shuvalov revealed jitters about the wisdom of a debt relief plan. The 180 billion ruble plan under consideration would see the banks loan the funds to VEB, which would then buy Mechel's convertible bonds.

    Air quality good near troubled ILVA - Mr Edo Ronchi

    A former sub commissioner for environmental issues said that the air quality is good in the city of Taranto.

    Mr Edo Ronchi whose term on the commission expired on June 4, was speaking to a conference examining conditions around ILVA one year after the government appointed a special commissioner to take over management of the plant, accused of toxic emissions.

    Mr Ronchi said that "The air quality in Taranto is good, especially for fine particles, it is among the best of Italian cities. The presence of benz(a)pyrene, defined as a highly carcinogenic compound, has been reduced by tenfold in the air around Taranto, a southern Italian port city. After only one year of operations under the government appointed commission, it is not possible to really solve such a crisis.

    He said that but the situation has improved substantially. Further environmental remediation around the ILVA steel plant, one of the largest in Europe, will cost at least 800 million euros this year and in 2015.

    The Taranto ILVA plant, the largest steel producer in Europe has faced enormous problems in the past two years after prosecutors in southern Italy moved to close part of plant in July 2012 over environmental and health concerns that date back many years.

    As recently as April, the European Commission continued to press its concerns that the plant is violating directives on industrial emissions. In June 2013, the Italian government appointed corporate troubleshooter Enrico Bondi as commissioner, with two sub commissioners to help him get ILVA back on track.

    At the same time, the environment ministry also named five experts to advise on safeguarding workers and people living near the plant, which has been linked to higher local cancer rates.

    The experts were also charged with proposing ways to lower accident risk at the plant, which produces a great deal of the country's steel for the automotive, shipping and domestic appliance industries, as well as providing jobs for around 20,000 workers.

    Fire breaks out at Mittal Hindustan Petroleum refinery

    Times of India reported that a major fire broke out at INR 19,000 crore Mittal- Hindustan Petroleum refinery on Friday morning after a blast in the vacuum gas oil treating unit. The fire was so devastating that more than a dozen fire tenders took more than 4 hours in dousing it.

    No casualty was reported in the fire incident but refinery employees and residents of nearby village are in panic. Refinery authorities have initiated a probe to find the cause of the fire. Steel magnate, Mr Laxmi Niwas Mittal, through its Mittal energy investment and public sector company Hindustan Petroleum Corporation owns 49% share each in this 9 million tonne per annum refinery earlier known as Guru Gobind Singh refinery. The 2% share is held by financial institutions.

    A similar blast had occurred on April 8th 2013 after which the residents of the small village citing pollution from refinery had decided to settle away. They were already waiting to be displaced from here and Mr Parkash Singh Badal, CM of Punjab, had asked the officials to make way for their settlement at some other place away from refinery.

    A major blast took place in the VG unit in the crude oil section at around 6 am. The blast was heard at a distance of upto 5 kilometers away.

    In few minutes the fire started spreading and took most part of the VG unit in its ambit. Highly placed sources said there were around 100 employees working at that time and two employees had gone unconscious after inhaling gas. The district and police administration rushed to refinery.

    Mr Bir Devinder Singh, Kanakwal resident, said that "The splinters of steel type objects landed at fields of our village and large flames of fire were seen emanating from inside the refinery."

    No official from refinery was available for comment but a statement later issued by refinery corporate communications head Ms Sangeetha R Chakravarthy said that the fire had broken out in vacuum gas oil treating unit and unit was immediately shut and fire was controlled in one hour but the residual oil was allowed to burn off.

    There was no casualty or injuries of any kind, read the statement and all other units of refinery remained functional. The probe to know the causes of fire has been initiated.

    Mr Basant Garg, DC of Bathinda, said that the fire had broken out in a unit of refinery and was controlled in few hours as refinery authorities wanted the hydro carbon and residual oil to burn. The district administration is looking into demand of displacement at top priority.

    Global price slightly going up due to devaluation of Euro against USD

    Prices are slightly and nominally going up because of 2,5 – 3% devaluation of Euro against USD and because of some resistence of foreign supppliers to follow local buyers on the run to further decreases.

    However the activity is generally very slow and this past week has been characterized by a deep lack of demand.

    Also Germany that during last months has been, together with other minor North Europe markets, the only place enjoying good levels of demand and consumption, turned into negative territory as to industrial production.

    What is even worse is that nobody can see better future as production continue to be well above the actual level of consumption.

    3D Printing with Stainless Steel

    Over the last 100 years, stainless steel has played a vital role in many industries ranging from nuclear energy and, healthcare, right through to domestic appliances we use every day. Now manufacturers are looking to increase the potential of Stainless Steel even further by combining it with 3D printing.

    3D printing is a method of manufacturing three dimensional solid materials using a digital model. This process is generally carried out with the help of a materials printer that features digital technology.

    Unlike conventional machining techniques that perform removal of material by cutting and drilling, 3D printing operates by additive processes in which successive layers of the desired material are deposited to create an object.

    Stainless Steel offers a low cost form of metal printing and is ideally suited for large objects due to its strength. Like titanium and aluminum, stainless steel can also be used as a metal 3D printing material for complex designs not currently possible using traditional manufacturing methods.

    The main method used for stainless steel 3D printing requires binding the layers of stainless steel powder together with a bonding agent. During the process, a stainless steel powder layer is laid in a build box, and a print head is allowed to move across the box to spray a binder solution. The layer deposited with binding agents is then dried using a heating lamp. Following this, a new powder layer is spread, and the process is repeated. The object is created layer by layer until it is complete, and it is then dried in an oven to cure the binder completely.

    Alternative Methods;
    1. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)'
    The process involves selective sintering (heat and fuse) of a powdered material whereby layers of stainless steel powder are laid down and the granules are then fused together using a laser.

    2. Selective Laser Melting (SLM);
    SLM uses metallic powders to build functional 3D parts. Thin layers of metal powder are laid down and then fused together using an ytterbium laser. Once the part is complete it is removed from the bed and goes through any finishing required.

    3. Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS);
    DMLS uses a laser source to bind a powdered material together. It is very similar to SLS and is predominately used with metal powders.

    4. Benefits of Stainless Steel 3D Printing Technology;
    3D-printed stainless steels have many benefits, including:
    1. Durability
    2. Resistant to heat at temperatures up to 831°C
    3. Light in weight
    4. Inexpensive
    5. Produced in shorter time.

    Applications of Stainless Steel 3D Printing Technology;
    As with traditional stainless steel, 3D-printed stainless steels find applications in a wide range of areas. These include:
    1. Jewellery
    2. Tools
    3. Construction applications
    4. Dental caps
    5. Metal implants
    5. Industrial applications – designing functional components
    6. Decorative models like statues, medals and keys
    7. Military applications
    8. Manufacturing automotive parts.

    Conclusion;
    3D steel printing is a reliable and fast manufacturing technology. Although the cost of functional 3D metal printers is relatively high, there are a few inexpensive 3D printers currently available on the market. Several manufacturing companies are now opting for 3D steel printing as it is precise, inexpensive and more realistic method compared with other technologies.

    China's steel export first 8 million ton level in May

    China's export quantity of steel products in May released on 8th by the General Administration of China Customs was 8,070,000 tonnes which became the level of 8 million tonnes for the first time.

    Japan's export quantity of ordinary steel products in January to April was 8,603,000 per tonne while China's export quantity was close to this level only for one month. Much had been made of its export quantity of 7,540,000 per tonne in the previous month which was the 2nd highest level but that in May exceeded as many as by 530,000 per tonne.

    It increased by 7.0% from the previous month and largely by 49.2% from the same month last year. Its cumulative export quantity in January to May was 33,940,000 per tonne up 33.6% from the same period last year. Its export quantity at annualized rate in the calendar 2014 is on a pace of nearly 85 million tonnes.

    China's crude steel production per day was 2,295,000 per tonne in April which exceeded 2,266,000 per tonne in the previous month. Its demand seems to be expected to some extent partly due to the Government's economic policy. Nevertheless, excess production is likely to have been diverted to export.

    Despite of so much quantity of steel products having been exported, the overseas market prices have not collapsed although they will not rise. As China's export destination is decentralized worldwide and does not center on ceratin regions or areas, the market prices are seen to be maintained even at a low level.

    While, its import quantity of steel products in May was 1,220,000 per tonne down 6.2% from the previous month which turned into a decrease for the first time in 3 months and down 2.4% from the same month last year. Its cumulative import quantity in January May was 6,114,000 per tonne up 6.3% from the same period last year.
