Galvanized Steel Strips

Friday, December 21st, 2007
Simple low cost steel product which forms the basis of most steel based conduit. Square lock construction is highly flexible conduit made by helical winding of cold rolled annealed and pinch passed mild steel strip with sheared edges. These strips are generally electro galvanized or hot dipped galvanized steel strip is used where high corrosion resistance and long life for the conduit is required. These conduit are used for applications where high flexibility is required. Good mechanical protection , Highly flexible, Extensive range, Inherent low fire hazard, Resistant to high temperature +300 °C. Its applications are as follows

1. Under floor applications computer/ floor boxes.
2. Connecting machines to controls.
3. Furnace/oven applications.
4. Areas subject to heat and sparks.(foundries, welding, etc.)
5. As mechanical protection for insulated electrical cables and wires which may be exposed to normal atmospheric conditions.

Hardened tempered steel strip and CRCA steel strip

Friday, December 14th, 2007
We supply the Hardened Tempered Steel Strips and CRCA Steel Strips with the closest dimensional tolerances. Equipped with automatic gauge control and hydraulic screw down device for achieving the closest dimensional tolerances.

Furthur, the annealing furnace is automatic and controled through PLC, with provision to use 100% Htdrogen as protective gas.

This gives the best spherodization and as a result uniform and excellent heat treatment of the end component.

We have sucessfully achieved the thickness of .05mm and are trying to make .025mm

 

Reconstructing Steel Industry

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

The Indian steel industry has gone through a period of restructuring. There has been a thorough overhaul of the policy regime. This has helped India improve its ranking among global steel producers from the 9th place to the 7th place. Yet, compared to the global average per capita consumption of 150 kgs. our per capita consumption of steel is still a mere 39 kgs. per head. Even by Asian standards we have a long way to go in the consumption of steel.

In India too, demand is bound to grow. This is why there is growing interest in investing in our steel sector. Our manufacturing costs are internationally competitive today and we have to ensure that they remain so in years to come. The increasing number of global steel majors who have announced plans to set up steel-making facilities in India gives a fair indication of the comparative advantage of manufacturing steel in India provided we can create the right policy environment.

Mittal Steel-The next big thing

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Mittal Steel is eyeing to expand its production base and is planning to go upto 150 Million Tonnes by 2020.

The world’s biggest steel producer, feels that India is the biggest emerging market in future and the demand of steel will go up sustantially.

Presently with production of about 40 Million tonnes, there seems to be much scope in this field of business in the time to come.

Hardened tempered steel strip

Thursday, November 8th, 2007
Hardening and Tempering is a thermal process that strengthens steel through a controlled heating and cooling process Hardened and tempered steel strip, is used in many applications including saws, cutting tools as well as springs.

This process will result in improved mechanical properties and give a tougher more durable product. The hardening process involves heating the steel to above the critical transformation temperature for the given grade and then rapidly cooling. Whilst this process achieves the highest mechanical strengths and hardness’s, steel in this condition is extremely brittle and therefore requires further treatment in the form of tempering. This consists of reheating the steel to a lower temperature and holding the steel at the given temperature for a given period of time. As with traditional annealing (used to soften steels) this process is conducted in an inert atmosphere to avoid oxidation.

Weak dollars effecting steel exports

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

The initiative taken by RBI has kept the Rupee on hold to some extent, otherwise it would have crossed the 39/- per dollar barrier. Rupee is appreciating due to huge inflow of Dollars by the FII’s in the Indian Stock Market.Due to open market, it has totally become a simple statistics of demand and supply.

However, this is highly effecting the Indian Export Market. Already the Garment Manufacturers are feeling the punch. The steel industry is also facing similar kind of recession.Exports in steel is having a negative growth in the last 6 months. Compared to the first half of the previous fiscal year, the exports have have gone down by 8.5%

RBI is taking all the neccessary measures to control the rising rupee. But if the Rupee keeps appreciating in this similar fashion, it will soon become a boon to importers, whereas the fate of exporters will be in doldrums.

Auto Ancilliaries in Kolkata.

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

the commisioning of small car plant at Singur will give a major boost to the demand of SPRING STEEL STRIP in the eastern region.

Like Bangalore and Gurgaon, Kolkata will become the next hub of auto ancilliaries in the coming years.

Tata is planning to make 1 million cars in this plant and hopefully Kolkata market will get a better boost in the demand of steel strips. Spring Steel Strips,Hardened Tempered Steel Strips and CRCA Steel Strips, are required in bulk quatities in the auto sector.

Steel barons battle for India’s ore

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

Mittal’s successful takeover of Arcelor last year made him the world’s biggest steelmaker, with 10% of the global market, while Tata’s victory in the battle for Anglo-Dutch Corus Group earlier this year put his family at the head of the world’s fifth-largest steel company. Now Mittal is returning to his roots for the next phase in the battle, but he will be fighting on Tata’s home turf.

The jungles of Orissa, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand are the source of the iron that will build a new India. These states are now exploiting their mineral potential, tying up multi-billion pound mining and production deals they hope will lift them out of poverty and build crucial infrastructure. It is this growth story that is drawing Tata and Mittal into the fight.

For Mittal, the Orissa investment alone will top £4 billion over eight years, and produce 12m tonnes of steel, but it is now merely a memorandum of understanding rather than a signed, sealed and delivered deal.

Tata has signed memorandums for a 6m tonne steel plant in Orissa, and a 12m tonne plant in Jharkhand, but it is playing hardball with both state governments to land iron-ore mining rights before it proceeds.  

“Both Tata’s and Arcelor Mittal’s hopes for mega steel plants in India hinge round long-term assurance of sufficient long-term iron-ore access, otherwise they would be left to buy at market rates over a very long period.

The three states account for 70% of India’s iron-ore reserves. It is high-grade ore, which makes it an even greater prize.

The steel companies must follow a process of stating their capacity needs to the state governments, which then recommend iron-ore concessions to the central government, which makes the allocation. It’s a political process that has sparked a major lobbying war.

According to government, Mittal is lagging far behind in this battle. While he may have benefited from influential friends in the British government, he has only two in the Indian cabinet – Sharad Pawar, the agriculture minister, and Murli Deora, the oil minister. He has, however, already made enemies over his failure to deliver on a deal to win big oil concessions for the Indian state oil company ONGC.

Tata, on the other hand, is an all-Indian hero. It is known as the “company which built India”, and Ratan is regarded as the visionary who took the empire global while strengthening its Indian roots. His latest vision, a £1,000 car, is expected to hit the showrooms next year.
