    Business Line reported that JSW Steel has acquired a land parcel spread over 30.5 acres in Pen in Raigad district of Maharashtra, about 4 km away from its existing 10 million tonne per annum integrated steel plant at Dolvi for INR 23 crore. JSW Steel’s Joint Managing Director Mr Seshagiri Rao said “JSW Steel said the project will be completed in 12-18 months after completion of land acquisition which should take about one-two months. The steel recycled will be used in the steel manufacturing plant at the Dolvi plant. Once this project is competed, the joint venture company will replicate it at other steel plants of the company.”

    Mr Rao added that the joint venture partner has all the know-how on processing scrap and it will come in hand while setting up the project.

    JSW Steel plans to set up a steel recycling plant at Pen in joint venture with New Zealand’s metal recycler National Steel Holdings at an investment of INR 175 crore using industry-leading machinery, technical know-how and relevant processes.

    Though scrap is the main raw material for secondary sector, primary steel producers also use the metal scrap in the charge mix of BOF (basic oxygen furnace) to the tune of 15% to improve efficiency, minimise cost of production and other process needs.

    IG Metall Seeks Commitment for Green Conversion of HKM Steel Plant

    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    13 Dec, 2022, 5:46 am

    German steel workers union IG Metall has warned that the conversion to climate-neutral steel production at Hüttenwerke Krupp Mannesmann, which would be the end of Germany's second largest steel works, is in danger of failing due to lack of financing. IG Metall sees thousands of jobs at risk and has called on the shareholders of HKM to clearly commit to the future of the traditional steelworks and to invest in its conversion now.

    IG Metall executive board member and Thyssenkrupp’s deputy chairman of the supervisory board Mr Jürgen Kerner said “In almost all steel companies along the blast furnace route, the transformation towards green steel production has meanwhile been initiated with concrete investment decisions. A concrete concept is also on the table for HKM. What is missing is the financing commitment from the shareholders. However, it must not be the case that the transformation of the company fails because of their hesitation and procrastination. Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe AG and Salzgitter AG as the largest shareholders now have to take responsibility.”

    IG Metall’s First Chairman Mr Jörg Hofmann added “It is now very specifically about the future of our colleagues at HKM. But there is much more at stake: what is at stake is industrial value creation and thus the future of good jobs in Germany. If we do not succeed in transforming the basic industry into the climate-neutral age and thereby strengthening closed value creation networks in Germany, this will have dramatic effects on the entire industrial location - far beyond the steel industry. An out of the HKM would be a fatal signal. That is why the shareholders of HKM must now live up to their responsibility and invests in the future.”

    The French pipe manufacturer Vallourec intends to give up its 20% stake in HKM and withdraw from Germany. Against this background, the two remaining shareholders Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe with 50% and Salzgitter with 30% are struggling to find a solution for the future of HKM.

    With a current production volume of 4.2 million tonnes of crude steel per year and a capacity of 5.6 million tonnes, HKM is Germany's second largest steel works. 3,100 steelworkers are currently employed there.

    Australia Extends AD Duty on HR Imports from Taiwan

    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    13 Dec, 2022, 5:47 am

    AFR reported that Australia’s largest steelmaker BlueScope has been successful in an application to have anti-dumping duties extended on hot-rolled coil steel from Taiwan after warning federal authorities of a flood of excess steel headed for Australia as the economy in China slows. The Anti-Dumping Commission agreed and Federal Industry Minister Mr Ed Husic signed off in late November on dumping duties of up to 5.5% which apply to Taiwan makers of hot-rolled coil steel selling into Australia. The ruling applies from 20 December when existing measures were due to expire.

    Chung Hung Steel - 5.1%

    China Steel Corp - 3.2%

    Shang Chen Steel – 2%

    All other – 5.5%

    The Anti-Dumping Commission report found that price is a major factor in the purchasing decisions of customers and that imports from Taiwan during the inquiry period have generally been the lowest priced in the Australian market and they had sometimes undercut the Australian industry’s selling prices. The Anti-Dumping Commission also found that Taiwan has been the most consistent and materially significant source of hot-rolled coil imported into the Australian market.

    The Commission found that Taiwanese exporters have total spare production capacity greater than the total size of the Australian hot-rolled coil market, and that capacity “cannot be idled in an economic downturn. Some of it would be directed towards the Australian market in the absence of anti-dumping measures.

    Anti-dumping duties were imposed on steel from Taiwan in 2012 and were continued in 2017. The Anti-Dumping Commission found Taiwanese hot-rolled coil consistently comprised a significant proportion of the total amount imported into Australia. It found that while prices increased significantly during the inquiry period as demand from the construction and infrastructure industries increased during the pandemic, this was likely to recede as supply and demand normalized.

    A letter on 11 September to the Anti-Dumping Commission from BlueScope warned that if the anti-dumping duties weren’t maintained then prices will fall below non-injurious measures. The BlueScope application cited an assessment on August 10 that prices are coming under pressure Steel production is being cut due to squeezed margins, amid surging costs and falling prices. Prices are expected to continue to trend lower for the remainder of 2022 as supply improves, global economic growth slows, and China’s real estate sector remains subdued.”

    Tata Steel Revamping 3 Stoves at Port Talbot’s Blast Furnaces

    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    13 Dec, 2022, 5:49 am

    A program of improvements at Tata Steel’s blast furnaces will reduce the site’s carbon footprint by about 160,000 tonnes of CO2 a year. The continuous improvement program of work in three of the seven stoves will upgrade the burners that generate heat, with two new best available technology units being installed. Many of the refractory bricks that store heat and make hot blast air, are also being replaced. The work is being carried out while the remaining operational stoves are in use.

    The two Port Talbot furnaces, which currently produce around 3.6 million tonnes of liquid iron each year, are powered by high pressure hot blast air that is superheated to temperatures of more than 1,100 degree Celsius. Recycled on-site process gases are used to heat the air in seven refractory-brick-lined stoves, before it is injected into the furnaces. Each stove is around 45 meter high and 8 meters diameter.

    Stoves are critical to the running of blast furnaces. Any loss of efficiency in heating the air means to use more gas than is optimum, or to replace that lost energy by using more metallurgical coke to chemically reduce the iron ore inside the furnaces.”

    G7 Nations to Establish Climate Club for Decarbonization

    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    14 Dec, 2022, 5:47 am

    There are four important components of an effective program for global cooperation on industrial decarbonization that the G7 can lead in designing and promoting. In fact, the G7 may be the only multilateral entity capable of catalyzing such a program to accelerate the progress needed for hard-to-abate industries to meet Paris climate goals. The heads of state and government of the G7 states have agreed on a first statute for a climate club, which is to be open to all countries and will begin its work next year. The club members should agree on common paths to climate neutrality by 2050. The initial focus should be on the decarbonisation of industry. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, together with the International Energy Agency, is to establish a secretariat for the Climate Club. According to Federal Minister of Economics and Climate Protection Robert Habeck, lead markets for green steel are to be created with the support of the Climate Club.

    Below are four key steps that the G7 can take to increase coordination on industrial decarbonization.

    Exert leadership. The G7’s leadership is essential to accelerate general acceptance of the International Energy Agency methodology for measuring embedded carbon in steel and cement, or a version or portion thereof, as one key element in formation of a “climate arrangement” whose focus will be industrial decarbonization in hard-to-abate sectors beginning with steel, cement, and aluminum, on a sectoral basis.

    Help design a venue and governance framework. The G7 could agree on and help design a venue and governance framework for administering reliable and confirmable labeling of steel and cement facilities (and possibly products) and maintaining access to transparent data to support such a system. This venue and framework should not, however, rest within the G7.

    Engage India and China. The adoption of standards and establishment of a governance venue should take account of the need for early engagement with India and China, with the expectation that they will eventually become participants, since they will be the two largest future producers of steel and among the largest users. In fact, India will likely increase new installed capacity more than any other country. Key issues in engaging India will include the availability and collection of relevant data across the industry and policies of the Indian government in requiring a new regime of data acquisition and reporting.

    Develop funding strategies. The G7 will need to develop funding strategies for assisting the transformation of the steel industries in countries where regional private capital is available but large-scale global private investment is likely to be difficult to access, particularly in India but also in Vietnam, South Africa, and others, with an initial focus on the “Just Energy Transition Partnership” approach of G7 partners developed to help decarbonize the power sector in South Africa and elsewhere (Indonesia, Vietnam).

    Since only ten countries produce approximately 80 percent of world steel, it will be sufficient for even the most inclusive eventual steel decarbonization platform (or even an eventual “world agreement”) to target at the outset only the United States, the EU (Germany and Italy are the only EU countries in the top ten nation-states), India, China, Japan, South Korea, Russia, Turkey, and possibly Brazil. Others that could observe or join later as major producing, importing, or consuming countries include Ukraine, Vietnam, Poland, South Africa, and Indonesia. Canada and Mexico could potentially participate with the United States in a North American partnership. Potential “associate” membership categories that include companies, trade associations, and others are discussed below.

    Mobile Alabama based SSAB Americas has released its Environmental Product Declarations results of its commercial steel and advanced high strength steel product lines in the US. UL Environment verified SSAB’s US EPDs as part of a six-month process that started with the development of applicable Life Cycle Assessments for associated SSAB facilities. Results show SSAB Americas EPDs are industry leading in lower environmental impacts when compared to the American Iron and Steel Institute steel industry data and the Buy Clean California Act threshold limits.

    SSAB’s EPDs release coincided with an announcement from the White House last week on its "Buy Clean" initiative to focus on the purchase of more environmentally sustainable products, including steel and concrete, for government-funded construction and other projects.

    As part of SSAB Americas on-going commitment to create a stronger, lighter and more sustainable world, the certified EPD results demonstrate the long-term beneficial focus of SSAB Americas environmental sustainability. It also provides a response to requests from our key stakeholders, including customers, suppliers and the political and investment communities about SSAB Americas-produced steel’s environmental impact.

    An EPD is an independently verified document that provides transparent, comparable information about the environmental impact of products from the lifecycle perspective.

    British Steel has selected Danieli Morgårdshammar Guide Systems to supply intelligent guides in a 4 strand wire rod mill plant in Scunthorpe in UK to bring improvements in production, quality, specification, groove life optimization and of course safety..

    Several types of guides will be supplied.

    RX25 guides will be mounted on stands 11 and 13, immediately before the Danieli Pre Finishing Module stands. With dynamic force control and self-adapting roller positioning, the guide controls and handles dimensional variations of stock that will decrease roller wear, prolong bearing lifetime, reduce maintenance and extend mill service intervals.

    WSG30 guides including Bearing Monitoring System will be mounted on PFM stand 15. This series of guides are dedicated to high-speed plants to achieve very strict product tolerances and superior surface quality, deciding to use two motors in order to control and move independently the position of the left or right roller holders.

    Fast-finishing blocks will be equipped with new roller guides SRWE24 N featuring Bearing Monitoring System, to maximize the usage of the bearings by receiving the exact information about their condition and lifetime.

    Finally, two Smart Eye setting packages will be supplied with the WSG and SRW roller guides, to control setting and alignment to ensure highest possible yield, good tolerances, surface finish, and to minimize wear on the fast-finishing module blocks and roller guide equipment.

    The plant, which operates a Danieli breakdown mill, produces 1 million tonnes per year of 5.5 to 17-mm-dia rounds, for automotive applications including tire cord, suspension and valve springs, bridge cables and many other applications

    Russia’s leading steelmaker Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works has launched a warehouse inventory system for its coal and iron ore processing facilities using state-of-the art drones. They are able to scan the plant’s stockpiles containing more than one million tonnes of coal and iron ore within several hours, eliminating the need for traditional surveying and enabling swift data collection from inaccessible facilities. The system was introduced by specialists from AI startup SAREX in partnership with MMK-Informservice.

    The new technological solution provides full coverage of all Company warehouses, using aerial photography in open-air warehouses and ground laser scanning in indoor warehouses. As a result, the system produces an accurate digital inventory model that can be accessed via a web-interface without the need to install additional software. The solution operates within MMK’s closed IT system in full compliance with information security requirements.

    The warehouse inventory system uses digital warehouse models and a separate module of the SAREX system to create dynamic analytical reports, which provide MMK specialists with fast and reliable information about the amount and types of raw materials present in each individual warehouse.

    IFGL to Expand Refractory Capacity in India

    14 Dec, 2022, 5:50 am

    PTI reported that India’s leading refractories solution provider IFGL Refractories is upbeat about demand in India and export market amid headwinds and has lined up a CAPEX of INR 160 crore by FY 2023-24 to ramp up its capacity and debottlenecking of its plants.

    Odisha Plant – INR 50 crores

    Kandla Plant – INR 45 crores

    Vizag Plant - - INR 65 Crores

    Kalunga R&D Center – INR 20 crores

    IFGL Director & CEO Mr Kamal Sarda told PTI in an interview “Despite short-term hiccups, we anticipate strong domestic demand, thanks to the government-led infrastructure spending. On the export front, the slowdown in Europe and the USA will only have a short-term impact. Since global companies are replacing some of their China sourcing with some from other countries, such as India, demand will jump significantly in near future.”

    Mr Sarda said “We are upbeat about demand in the long term and that is why we have embarked on one of our largest CAPEX plans of INR 160 crore across our plants to augment capacity and debottlenecking. IFGL is well positioned to capitalise on this growth. The expansion will be funded by a mix of internal accruals and bank loans.”

    The company has three refractory manufacturing plants in India and facilities in Europe and the USA.
