Prices of HR Coils to rise, despite weak dollars

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

All the major HR Coil manufacturers are expected to increase their prices in the month of October. The prices are expected to increase by 1200/- per MT. This price increase actually, is a boon to the cold rollers.Weak dollars has paved the way for cheaper import options for the cold rollers. Thousands of tonnes of material is being imported from Thailand and CIS countries.

This rally of price increase (third in the last 6 months) does not seem realistic.In my opinion, if the dollar keeps depreciating, the prices in the long run will be reduced.

Saturday, September 15th, 2007

Tata Steel, the world’s sixth-largest steel maker, has denied that it is in talks with the South African government about the possible construction of a steel plant in South Africa.

This is after reports this week that Tata Steel was mulling the construction of a five million tonnes per year steel plant in South Africa, subject to the availability of iron ore and coal.

Local financial media reports on Wednesday quoted a trade and industry official as saying that the department was negotiating with Tata and a number of other players on the construction of a steel plant.

spherodized annealing.

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

the annealing cycle and process of carbon steel strip is very difficult and needs a deep insight of metallurgical engineering.

A particular lot of material, might be having the correct hardness, but still the required degree of bend or right degree of reduction cannot be aechieved. Reason is improper grain structure, hence poor elongation and as a result the desired properties are not aechieved.This problem arises only due to improper annealing which might be due to following reasons:

moisture in nitrogen or hydrogen atmosphere, unequal distribution of heat, improper soaking time, improper selection of temperature,etc.

Thus to attain the best results in carbon steel, the annealing part is very important
