Iron and steel industry prices fell, the reason why?

As we all know, often drop large iron and steel industry, the price is extremely unstable, so what is the cause of this phenomenon?Shinestar Steel Research Institute found through research, technology and the characteristics of the iron and steel industry, the cost structure resulted in the imbalance between supply and demand environment quantity adjustment special difficulties.

Specifically, the characteristics of modern steel production technology determines that the industry has a strong scale effect.This means that the iron and steel enterprises need to spend a huge amount of money to buy equipment and equipment to build production systems, resulting in a higher proportion of fixed capital amortization of depreciation in the total cost.Shinestar Steel Group attaches great importance to R & D investment, its R & D production of carbon steel pipe, welded steel pipe, line pipe, galvanized pipe and other excellent products, the market was highly recognized.

Under normal market conditions, the characteristics of the industry makes the steel enterprises with the average cost per unit of output with the output scale and reduce the advantages, is conducive to enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises by expanding the scale, so the rapid growth in market demand under the environment of enterprises with strong expansion impulse.However, the demand for reverse change and under the conditions of excess capacity, the objective needs of sales compensation huge cost sharing, will lead to reduced production enterprises facing special difficulties,makes an ordinary enterprise may have to accept the price is far below the average cost, the formation of the iron and steel industry seems to be more willing to price competition and regardless of the loss of the phenomenon.

At present, the entire industry is under the background of the capacity to understand the difficulties behind the steel enterprises are more conducive to the promotion of structural adjustment.Huge amortization cost constraints, in addition to the mentioned steel blast furnace if stewing furnace boiler stop need extra pay huge cost, which further increased the steel mills production scale down the economic difficulties.In addition, the government protection measures from the Angle of system distortion may prevent enterprises from the number and scale down.

Requires industry to face the question is: in 2009, 460 million tons of crude steel production in China, in 2015 the actual production capacity of more than 1.25 billion tons of crude steel in our country, production of 804 million tons.By profit nature of the enterprise, industry concentration degree increase, corporate profitability increased, the influx of capital, capacity expansion again, a single merger can not limit production capacity expansion.

Product navigation, production escort,Shinestar Steel Group has been very focused on product development and production, which owns the layout of Changsha, Xiangyin, Nanchang, Tianjin four production bases,combined shinestar steel R & D and production of the powerful platform, R & D and production of carbon steel pipe, welded steel pipe, line pipe, galvanized pipe and other excellent products, praised by customers.The future, Shinestar will continue to increase investment, the introduction of advanced technology and equipment, the more the production of more and better quality products, in order to adapt to the development of the globalization strategy.

The difference between ERW pipe and HFW pipe

The difference between ERW pipe and HFW pipe
ERW call is one of the resistance welding steel pipe, ERW are respectively corresponding to the first letter of the English word. Resistance welding steel pipe can be divided into ac and dc welding welding two forms.
Ac welding according to the different frequency is divided into low frequency, intermediate frequency brazing, intermediate frequency and high frequency welding welding. High frequency welding is mainly used for thin wall pipe or ordinary wall thickness pipe production, high frequency welding is divided into contact welding and induction welding.
Dc welding is commonly used in small diameter steel pipe.
So, in general, the high frequency welded pipe contained in ERW welded pipe, is a kind of high frequency welding process production ERW welded pipe.

Price Adjustment for Q345 Welded Carbon Steel Pipe

Price Adjustment for Q345 Welded Carbon Steel Pipe

The focus of the current market or gathered in the social stock of Q345B longitudinal welded pipe, the five statistics on Friday the total inventory of the five Q345B longitudinal welded pipe stock total 8.44 million tons, 0.4% WoW, down 9.2%; five Q345B straight seam Weld pipe plant inventory total of 4.899 million tons, an increase of 4.9% WoW, down 16.3% year on year. If you look at the current social stock of Q345B longitudinal welded pipe absolute quantity, there is no doubt that the current market inventory pressure is small, but the steel plant inventory began to rise is worth noting. Because the five major varieties of social stock as a result of the decline in the sample caliber representative, in fact, outside the caliber of the amount of resources or trends in the trend of the sample is not the same, so the process of resource dispersion trend is often the core regional stock transfer to non-core areas .
In addition, as the "car limit set" strictly enforced, in fact, the increase in the amount of in-transit resources have been ignored, taking into account the limited capacity of vehicles in southern China, for example, motor transport cycle basically from the past 1-2 days to 2-5 days , That is, the amount of vehicles in transit than in the past to look through; the same token, in the original fuel materials also exist such a situation. If the vehicle capacity does not improve, this resource does not constitute a pressure on the market, but this year, truck sales rose significantly, from January to October 2016 more than 40 tons of semi-tractor sales rose 98.5%; 25-40 tons between the semi-traction Car sales rose 16.6%; 25 tons and below semi-tractor sales rose 119% year on year.
But in October, more than 40 tons, 25-45 tons and 25 tons the following semi-tractor sales were up 45.9%, 68.4% and 117.8%. In general, the truck sales to the road takes 50 days or so, once the capacity to enhance, ask who is willing to increase the transport cycle to extend and bear the burden of resources and risk of funds in transit, then the latter is not there will be a lot of transit resources into social stock To be tested!
Raw materials, the domestic coal mine production safety requirements more stringent, the major domestic coal mines to ensure safe production, production than the previous period have different degrees of decline, making most of the coking plant inventory of refined coal declined support coking coal prices continue to be strong . Affected by this, high-grade iron ore spot prices are also supported, the current futures and spot basis also reflects this trend. So hope that the original fuel material spot fell may not be desirable, but rather need to pay attention to the price difference between the repair. Of course, this premise is the production of steel production enterprises will not substantially

cut.

The price of Spiral steel pipe, ERW steel pipe and LSAW Steel pipe strong gains, detonate market

The price of Spiral steel pipe, ERW steel pipe and LSAW Steel pipe strong gains, detonate market
Opening on the first day of November, the steel price of most strong steel mill steel factory continue to pull up, spiral steel pipe, 3 PE anticorrosive coating spiral pipe, large diameter spiral pipe, double-sided submerged arc spiral welded pipe, ERW steel pipe,LSAW steel pipe and other products prices are raised. Flying start in early November, does it presages off-season does not light in November?
First ,high steel cost
Review of October rally, one important reason is represented by coke raw material prices continued to rise, the cost of steel high spot for offer high provides a relatively solid foundation.
According to research, on the other hand, the national building materials steel blast furnace capacity utilization is 80.3% at present, the blast furnace capacity utilization rate is 70.4%, is still at a relatively high, reflecting the steel mill in a short period of time will still have strong demand for raw materials. And along with the finished material continue to rise, also continues to rise in the price of scrap steel, raw material rises, the overall steel mills also shows no sign of large-scale production cuts in the short term, the high cost of steel price support is still relatively strong.
Second, the influence of the steel plant policy
1, the national most spiral steel pipe,, 3 PE anticorrosive coating steel pipe, large diameter spiral pipe, DSAW steel pipe, welded steel pipe and other products significantly raised ex-factory price, the market to boost the effect is very obvious. And steel mills in the extent of the increase 100 yuan/ton, in the market to accept the critical value, it is acceptable in the market, not the other markets from point of view, to the market to a certain extent, drew a look within easy reach of the pie, to stimulate the enthusiasm of market.
In east China is currently in the national steel price depressions, anhui, jiangsu, fujian, shandong and other places of steel mills to south China, southwest and other places more shipments, the supply end of the east China area stress is relatively small.
Three, inventory data to change direction
According to the author, the recent steel stock continues to decline, the late steel price pressure is low. Dominate the market in zhejiang province, hangzhou's stock market is also continued to decline, the current 427200 tons of rebar inventories, including pledge remove about 80000 tons of resources, the overall inventory relatively normal, market inventory pressure is not big. But is alarming, according to statistics, only in hangzhou building materials inventory reduced 18300 tons, compared with a national thread, wire total inventory levels over the same period of last year for the first time this year, indicated that the recent market direction will change?
Forth, falling demand
From the monitoring data show that since the middle of October, volume data is reduced, the downstream demand began to weaker. On steel prices rose in early October a powerful support is to clinch a deal the data better. Volume surged in early October, it now appears that the biggest possibility is part of the market demand is suppressed, in September to October, the other is after the National Day holiday is concentrated inventory demand downstream. Demand off-season better be falsified.
Fifth, the bad effect ofweather and temperature
Now in November, look from the season is winter, in the traditional sense of the demand of season. Downstream terminal operation in winter time is predictable, the amount of the purchase of building materials is also weakening, late end demand weakening big probability event was predictable.

Galvanized Steel Pipe Using Advantages

Galvanized Steel Pipe Using Advantages

When we talk about the galvanized steel pipes, we usually refer to the hot dipped galvanized steels pipes which are more durable and strengthened than any other types. The cleaning process which the hot dipped galvanized steel pipe uses is far more special in the combination use of the solutions, including the ammonium chloride, zinc chloride or the mixed solutions of both. And it will be sent into the hot dipped groove afterwards. The galvanized steel tube will be with more even layer of the galvanization and the capacity of cohesion, anti-corrosion and anti-dust. All of these as mentioned above will contribute to this kind of steel pipe to be have longer longevity than any other steel pipe kinds.

The regular specification of the galvanized steel tubing which are available from SHINESTAR include 48.3×2.5、48.3×2.75、48.3×3.0、48.3×3.25、48.3×3.5 and other customized types per required.
To maintain these galvanized steel tubes, we should keep in mind about these following steps:
1. Regular clean away the piling-up materials around the steel and control its loading under its limitation.
2. Regular observe if there is any deviation among the steel tube's whole structure of parts of it. If yes, make alteration in time.

Advantages of welded pipe

Advantages of welded pipe

Structural welded pipe (tubing) can be used for a wide variety of mechanical applications. It may be used either statically or dynamically. Its close tolerances, good finish, and dense structure make it ideal for parts such as structural support and parts, frames, racks, trailer beds and trailer components, structural components and supports for buildings, bridges, and highways, conveyors, machine parts, ornamental usages and a wide range of applications in industrial, construction, automotive, appliance and agricultural industries.

Welded pipes are generally more cost effective than the equivalent seamless alternative. They are significantly more available both from distributor and mill stocks and from a mill production lead time perspective. With longer lead times seamless tubes can be exposed to unknown alloying price extras that can fluctuate substantially, hence it can be difficult to plan and predict the true costs for the material. Therefore in addition to faster delivery times for Erw tubes, there is the added advantage of lower economical risk. Erw welded steel tubes generally have better surface quality as compared with manufacturing seamless tubes. Seamless tubes are generally made in multiple steps starting with hot extrusion to form the tube hollows from billets.

Austenitic Stainless Steel

Austenitic Stainless Steel
Low carbon, iron-chromium-nickel stainless alloys containing more than 16% chromium, and 4 to 22% nickel to provide an austenitic structure at normal temperatures. These alloys cannot be hardened by heat treatment, but can be hardened by cold working. They are normally non-magnetic in the annealed condition, but can become slightly magnetic after cold working depending upon composition.

Austenitic Stainless Steel Pipe
Austenitic stianless steel pipe recers to the normal temperature of austenitc stianless steel containing about 18% of Cr, 8%~10% of Ni, 0.1% of C and a stable austenite. Austenitic chrome nickel stianless steel pipe including the famous 18Cr-8Ni steel. On this basis to increase the Cr, Ni content and adding Mo, Cu, Si, Nb, Ti and other elements developed high Cr-Ni series of steel pipe. Austenitic stainless steel pipe is non-meganetic and has high toughness and plasticity. However, the strength of austenitic stainless steel pipe is low which can not be strengthened by phase transformation and can only be strengthened by cold working, such as addign S, Ca, Se, Te and other elements which has a good easing cutting characteristic.
