    NLMK Boosts Sustainability of Blast Furnace 4 Operations

    NLMK Lipetsk has completed an upgrade of Blast Furnace No 4 with a capacity of 2.1 million tonnes of pig iron per year. The project includes an environmental upgrade of the furnace infrastructure. All the dust generated during hot metal production will be captured by a highly efficient dedusting system. The system ensures a purification efficiency of 99.9%, which is in line with the best available technologies. The new equipment will also enable more efficient blast furnace gas treatment for it to be utilized as a secondary energy source. Filtered dust will be utilized in the production of iron-containing briquettes, or fed back into the blast furnace process.

    As part of the project, the furnace was equipped with a new lining, special refractory blocks that will enhance the resistance of the furnace’s internal surface to thermal loads. Technical solutions and advanced materials will ensure stable operation of the furnace for the next 20 years.

    After the furnace overhaul, emissions are expected to reduce by 200 t per year. After the associated upgrade of air heaters is completed in 2022, the reduction in gross emissions will total 7,700 t per year.

    Investments in the blast furnace overhaul and upgrade project exceeded RUB 23 bn. During the project, there would be up to 3,000 people working on site; more than 16,000 t of metal structures were used.

    The equipment is expected to reach its design capacity by the end of February.

    Outokumpu Navigated Successfully Through Pandemic in 2020

    Outokumpu President & CEO Mr Heikki Malinen said “Throughout 2020 Outokumpu has continued with rigorous measures to mitigate the negative impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our employees, operations, and business. Our actions have been effective, and we concluded the year without any pandemic-related production losses. While we were able to return our financial performance in the year shaped by COVID-19 back to near 2019 levels, the financial performance needs further strengthening. Hence, we will continue to execute the announced strategic measures to improve our results.”

    In 2020, Outokumpu’s sales decreased to EUR 5,639 million (EUR 6,403 million) and adjusted EBITDA to EUR 250 million (EUR 263 million). Stainless steel deliveries declined by 3% compared to the previous year as a result of weaker demand. Prices were significantly lower in Europe but declined also in Americas. Various cost-saving measures supported profitability and both input costs as well as fixed costs were at a lower level compared to the previous year. Raw material-related inventory and metal derivative losses amounted to EUR 16 million in 2020 compared to the losses of EUR 64 million in 2019. Other operations and intra-group items’ adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR -29 million (EUR -15 million). In 2020, Outokumpu recognized EUR 59 million restructuring costs related to personnel measures, reported as adjustments to EBITDA. Most of these costs are provisions where the cash impact will take place mainly in 2021. The adjustments to EBITDA in 2019 included restructuring provisions of EUR 53 million and a gain on a real estate sale of EUR 70 million.

    Outlook for Q1 2021 - The stainless steel market has begun to recover after the global downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The demand for stainless steel is strengthening and both business areas Europe and Americas are expected to see a seasonal increase in volumes. Consequently, Outokumpu expects its stainless steel deliveries for the whole Group to increase in the first quarter by 10-20% compared to the fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2021 is expected to be higher compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.

    CCI Opens Probe into Price Cartelisation by Indian Steel Mills

    The Hindu Business Line reported that Competition Commission of India has launched a probe against Indian steel companies for forming a cartel to increase prices consistently over the last seven months suo motu and it will scrutinise the business strategies of leading steel companies to check if they have colluded to jack up prices artificially.

    The demand for an investigation into the prices hikes had been voiced from several quarters, including auto and real estate industries that use steel, saying that the recent spike in steel prices making them uncompetitive both in global and domestic markets. Calling for a regulator to check the rising steel prices, India’s Union Road Transport Minister Mr Nitin Gadkari had last month said that every steel company has its own iron ore mines and there has been no increase in labour and power costs, but they are increasing rates.

    Indian steel companies have, however, maintained that domestic price, despite the hikes, remained lower than international rates and that price in China, Europe and the US is higher than those in India.

    This is not the first time that the Competition Commission of India is investigating steel companies for alleged cartelisation. In its investigation from 2008, and lasting till 2014, the v had probed SAIL and Tata Steel but later said it found no evidence against these companies.

    JFE Reduces Annual Loss Estimate on Steel Demand Recovery

    Japan's second biggest steelmaker JFE Holdings Inc has trimmed its net loss estimate for the current financial year by over 60%, thanks to a sharp rebound in steel demand from a pandemic induced collapse. JFE now expects a net loss of JPY 38 billion (USD 363 million) in the year ending March 31 compared with an earlier JPY 100 billion loss estimate. JFE Holdings Executive Vice President Mr Masashi Terahata told "Demand from industries centring on automobiles has picked up at home and abroad. Stronger overseas market has also boosted its export margin. We expect a gradual demand recovery from local industries, except for shipbuilding, will continue in the next financial year.”

    Reflecting improved demand, JFE's crude steel output on a parent basis for the current year is now expected to reach 22.7 million tonnes, 200,000 tonnes more than its previous estimate. It produced 26.73 million tonnes a year earlier.

    CAG Report Highlights Several Issues in SAIL Mines

    Business Standard reported that Audit Report no 18 of 2020 of Comptroller and Auditor General of India reveals that Steel Authority of India Limited neither applied technical due diligence nor conducted techno-commercial study to assess viability before the allotment of its captive coal blocks at Parbatpur and Sitanala and these two blocks, which had to be subsequently surrendered, hence resulted in the amount spent on development of the same infructuous.

    The audit examined records of all captive mines of SAIL for the period 2014-19 to assess the management of captive mines and compliance with safety and environmental laws. The report pointed out that since the company’s iron ore production level, at Dalli, Rajhara and Barsua mines were lower than planned, it resulted in transfer of the key raw material from distantly located mines by the Bhilai Steel Plant and Rourkela Steel Plant leading to extra expenditure on freight differential.

    At its Barsua mines, the non compliance of Forest Conservation Act, 1980, on account of use of forest land for non-forest purpose, without approval led to payment of penal Net Present Value and Compensatory Afforestation. Non compliance with Odisha Minerals Rule, 2007 by Bolani mines also led to additional expenditure on differential royalty. Additional royalty payments were made at Manoharpur mine, as iron ore was graded at the highest grade and at Nandini mines on rejected limestone chips that were not suitable for iron making. Meanwhile, Government of Odisha and Government of Jharkhand demanded compensation on account of mining beyond quantity permitted under Environmental Clearance to operate by the Iron ore and Limestone mines under Raw Material Division.

    Pertaining to safety and environment management in SAIL, the audit report examinations in the period under review, stated that SAIL Safety Organisation did not develop any plan or frame timeline to implement its recommendations. Out of 686 recommendations, only 258 were yet to be complied.

    voestalpine Reports Recovery in Third Quarter of 2020-21

    In the first nine months of the business year 2020/21, the performance of the voestalpine Group was strongly shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic. While the business year’s first quarter was characterized by the massive meltdown in demand in almost all customer segments and regions, the second quarter saw a considerable rebound in major sectors. Upward trends in key business segments continued in the third business quarter despite renewed lockdowns. The automotive industry, in particular, gradually recovered following the production shutdowns during the Northern spring, once again returning to order levels during the Northern fall that equated roughly to those prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The construction, consumer goods, and white goods industries also managed to rapidly return to pre-COVID-19 order levels (the last two did well even during the difficult first business quarter). Conditions in the aerospace industry as well as in the oil and natural gas sector remained difficult, however. The railway infrastructure technology segment developed along a stable, positive trajectory during the entire reporting period. The high-bay warehouses customer segment also posted highly satisfactory performance. Thanks to the growth in online commerce, this unit posted record order levels in Europe and North America (key markets both) during the Northern fall.

    Revenue fell by 16.8% year over year, from EUR 9.6 billion to EUR 8 billion

    At EUR 683 million, operating result is substantially positive (Q3 2019/20: EUR 837 million)

    At EUR –134 million, profit from operations (EBIT) is negative (Q3 2019/20: EUR –82 million) due to impairment losses

    At EUR –159 million (Q3 2019/20: EUR –160 million), profit after tax affected by impairment losses as well yet stable

    Outlook - The number of COVID-19 infections rose dramatically yet again in most of the world during the third quarter of the business year 2020/21. Individual states in Europe reacted yet again with lockdowns; even in the United States restrictions were imposed on public life. Given the circumstances, so far none of these measures have had material adverse effects on the economic recovery of those markets that are relevant to the voestalpine Group. However, the uncertainties about economic developments going forward have risen sharply. It is completely unclear to date how the expansion of limitations on commerce will affect the consumption of European products. The risk of downtimes in production or of interruptions in essential supply chains owing to the pandemic cannot be predicted at this time. In no small part, this is why voestalpine’s management continues to focus on cost management and earnings stabilization. Its efforts with respect to working capital management and curtailment of investments in order to buttress both cash flow and the Group’s asset and capital structure will continue as well. Several positive developments occurred after the end of the reporting period above and beyond central banks’ clearly supportive monetary policies in the world’s major economic regions. First and foremost, the medicines regulatory authorities of many countries have licensed vaccines against the COVID-19 virus, and campaigns to immunize the public have been launched. Assuming that there will be no new major restrictions on economic activity and/or state-ordered measures owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Management Board currently forecasts EBITDA of about EUR 1 billion for the entire business year 2020/21 and thus an amount at the upper end of the previously communicated range.

    Primetals Completes Project for BOF Off Gas at Changzhou Eastran

    In late 2020, Primetals Technologies received the final acceptance certificate for a newly installed advanced gas cleaning system based on wet electrostatic precipitator technology. This first project was successfully implemented at Changzhou Eastran Special Steel Co Ltd in China’s Jiangsu province. Based on very strict requirements of the local city government an emission limit of 10 mile grams per meter cube was requested for the steelmaking plant with two 80 tonne basic oxygen furnaces. Primetals Technologies developed a suitable solution for the customer in terms of performance and minimal space requirement. The contract was signed in February 2019 and the plants for both BOF lines were commissioned in March 2020. Clean gas dust emission values of approximately 5 mile grams per meter cube were measured during the performance tests later in 2020 and the final acceptance certificate was subsequently issued by Changzhou Eastran.

    The technical concept of this newly developed ultra-low emission technology is based on dust removal from off gas by electrostatic precipitation. Wet-type electrostatic precipitators have been used in iron & steel industry for decades already, however, the special nature of the BOF process with its toxic and explosive off gas and the batch-process type operation required some special design features for this new application.

    The WESP is located in between the existing wet type gas cleaning plant and the ID fan. One main advantage of this configuration is that the old gas cleaning plant can remain unchanged as all the deep cleaning down to the required emission limit is done in the WESP. At the same time maintenance requirements for the ID fan such as regular manual cleaning and re-balancing are greatly reduced as the off gas is already ultra-clean when entering the ID fan.

    For this project Primetals Technologies have also implemented two special technology packages for WESP operation in an existing gas cleaning system: a process safety module for minimization of explosion risk and an Energy saving module for reduced ID fan power consumption.https://www.primetals.com/fileadmin/user_upload/press-releases/2021/20210209/2021022224.jpg

Due to the poor ecological balance of fiber composite materials (high energy consumption in production, low recyclability), mobile hydrogen tanks made of high-strength, recyclable steels promise great market potential. A decisive hurdle for the realization is the possible hydrogen embrittlement of high-strength steels. The subproject would like to take on this challenge by striving for a specific surface design to reduce hydrogen diffusion in steel. The Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films IST focuses on the identification, testing and evaluation of potential surface treatments. Mechanical, physical and metallurgical properties are investigated in order to improve the surface in a targeted manner. Salzgitter Mannesmann Research particularly examines the interactions between the base material and the material surface. For this purpose, a pressure permeation chamber is set up in order to establish a test method for measuring hydrogen penetration in solids.

    Planned process and schedule 2021: Selection and characterization of suitable steel materials, construction and establishment of a pressure permeation chamber for measuring hydrogen penetration in solids, development of surface treatments and modifications to protect against hydrogen embrittlement, evaluation and classification of the results relating to the manufacture of steel tanks.

    Al Yamamah to Expand Steel Pipe Factories in Jeddah & Dammam

    Argaam reported that Saudi Arbia’s rebar maker Al Yamamah Steel Industries Co's board of directors have approved increasing the annual production capacity of pipe and tube factories in Jeddah and Dammam, at the cost of SAR 33 million. The annual production capacity will be increased from 276,000 tonnes to 360,000 tonnes and project will commence from March 1, 2021. The completion of the project is expected in Q1 of 2022. The pilot operation will run three months and the commercial production will be launched in Q2 of 2022. The project will be self financed through the cash collections from customers

    Al Yamamah Company was established in 2003 with paid Capital of SAR 300 million. The primary objective is to set up an integrated Steel Plant for an annual production of more than 1.5 million tonnes of rebars. The city of Yanbu was chosen for the project as this city is known to be the second largest Industrial City in the Kingdom after Jubail Industrial City as well as it is nearby all major cities in the kingdom. The construction of the first phase started in 2005 and the commissioning of the plant started in 2008 with a capacity of about 700,000 tonnes of steel bars annually.
