MMK remains largest supplier of galvanized steel in Russia in 2018

Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Work sold a record amount of galvanized steel in 2018 - around 1.3 million tonnes. MMK's share in the product’s consumption in Russia amounts to 34%. According to the Senior Manager of MMK's Coated Products Sales, Vadim Dorofeev, who spoke at the 14th International Conference "Galvanized and painted steel - production and consumption trends," MMK remains the largest supplier of galvanized steel in Russia with total sales amounting to 1.269 million tonnes at the end of last year, a record number for the plant. At the same time, the sales to export destinations and to CIS countries are gradually increasing. Nevertheless, the Company continues following its sales strategy aimed at the Russian market, which accounts for 80% of sales. In 2018, MMK sales to the Russian market amounted to 1.08 million tonnes. The main consumers of MMK's galvanized steel are the construction sector (64%) and the automotive industry (26%).”

MMK also remains one of the largest players in polymer-coated steel market. In 2018, the Company sold 559,000 tonnes of this product, of which 90% (500,000 tonnes) were shipped to the domestic market. The merger of the Lysvensky Metallurgical Plant (LMP) into MMK Group enabled MMK to achieve a significant increase in sales - by over 27%. Thus, MMK Group's production and supply of polymer-coated steel now takes place at two different production sites. In 2018, 270,000 tonnes of polymer-coated steel were shipped to the Russian market from the MMK site and 231,000 tonnes from the MMK-LMP site. These products are mainly used by the construction industry. Polymer-coated steel is profiled and used as a semi-finished rolled product for the manufacturing of metal roofing tiles (22%), profiled sheeting (56%) and sandwich panels (7%).

MMK Group produces a wide range of polymer-coated steel - from basic products to premium types of polymer-coated steel - and LMP's facilities enable MMK to sell this polymer-coated steel to all sectors of the market, manufactured under the brand name SteelArt and Moire. Currently, the niche for premium types of polymer-coated steel is at the initial stage its development and has high growth potential.

BAML analysts warn of price-crushing 'Steelmageddon' steel glut in US

Seeking Alpha reported that US steel capacity is set to increase by 20% around 2022, pushing down prices for steel commodities, BofA Merrill Lynch warns as it dubs the upcoming several years of turmoil as "Steelmageddon." The price crushing steel glut will sweep through the industry over the next few years as new project startups create an oversupply of steel commodities, the firm says, after which the US industry will emerge with a smaller footprint as new electric arc furnaces replace older blast furnaces.

BAML believes Nucor and Steel Dynamics could emerge with improved market share and healthier profit margins but warns Steelmaggedon should deter most long-term investors from buying into the space.

Share sales by Mr Abramovich and partners lower sanction risks – Evraz CFO

Reuters reported that Evraz said a decision by Mr Roman Abramovich and his partners to sell some of their shares in the group would reduce sanctions risks. Evraz CFO Mr Nikolay Ivanov said “In my opinion this further decreases risks of the introduction of sanctions on Evraz. Evraz had recently changed its ownership structure in a way that would also reduce sanctions risks. So if the sanctions will be introduced against one of our key shareholders, Evraz will be significantly less vulnerable to that.”

Chelsea soccer club owner Abramovich, businessman Alexander Abramov and other top Evraz shareholders sold around 25.4 million shares in Evraz on Monday, raising some GBP 151 million. Their sale of a total stake of 1.8% brought Abramovich and Abramov’s combined stake in the company to less than%

The United States and other Western countries have imposed sanctions on Russian officials, companies and banks since Moscow’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, and the campaign continues to gather force. As recently as last Friday the United States, Canada and European Union imposed fresh sanctions to punish Russia for its 2018 attack on three Ukrainian ships as well as its annexation of Crimea and its activities in eastern Ukraine.

NCLAT directs Essar Steel RP to call CoC meeting to reconsider distribution of funds from ArcelorMittal

Financial Express reported that the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal on Wednesday directed Essar Steel’s resolution professional to convene a meeting of committee of creditors to reconsider the distribution of the INR 42,000 crore coming from ArcelorMittal’s resolution plan among financial and operational creditors, as suggested by the National Company Law Tribunal. The two-member NCLAT bench headed by Justice SJ Mukhopadhaya said the CoC must reconsider the apportionment of fund and as such, a meeting of the lenders was warranted. They said “We are not staying the impugned order of the adjudicating authority. It has to be implemented in letter and spirit. It did not have any intent to stop implementation of the resolution process for Essar Steel. If there was any discrimination in the distribution of funds, it would order modification in the apportionment.”

Approving ArcelorMittal’s resolution plan in a March 8 order, NCLT’s Ahmedabad bench had suggested that lenders give 15% of the proceeds to operational creditors on a pro rata basis, but had left the decision entirely to their discretion while rejecting the claims by operational creditors.

NCLAT was hearing a plea moved by Standard Chartered Bank alleging that ArcelorMittal’s plan was discriminatory and therefore, the distribution of funds should be stopped.

Indian steel consumption growth in 2019 to slow down to 7% - Mr NA Ansari JMD JSPL

CNBC reported that Mr Naushad Akhter Ansari, joint managing director of JSPL, said that steel consumption in India is likely to grow by 7% in 2019. He said “If you look at the apparent steel use in India in 2018, it went up by more than 8%. In 2019, it is expected to go up by a little more than 7%. So relatively, the growth is lower but, the growth is quite handsome. We see the demand had dipped down a little bit towards the end of December, a little bit in January also but subsequently it has been picking up. Today we have no difficulty in selling the products that we have. We are able to sell all the products despite our ramp-up, which is happening substantially.”

With regards to steel prices, he further mentioned, “Last two quarters were also a bit of a roller-coaster. At some point of time, they might have gone even up to INR 48,000-49,000 per tonne, now we are talking about INR 45,000-47,000 per tonne, so certainly there has been some decrease."

Explosion at Tata Steel plant in IJmuiden injures four workers

Dutch News reported that four people were injured Wednesday morning when an explosion took place at a Tata Steel facility in Velsen-Noord, Noord Holland. All four of the victims are employees who were transported to area hospitals, the company said. Their injuries were not specified, but were not believed to be life threatening. The accident took place during maintenance at the Kooks- en Gasfabriek 1, part of the sprawling factory complex between IJmuiden and Wijk aan Zee. The explosion was first called in at about 11:15 AM. Firefighter crews, at least two ambulances, and a helicopter trauma team were dispatched within a couple of minutes.

One Wijk aan Zee resident told regional broadcaster NH that they heard a loud dull boom, and could feel the ground rumbling below his home. The situation was reportedly under control by noon, and no toxic emissions were released.

The cause of the blast is under investigation by the steel conglomerate and the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment's investigative agency Inspectie SZW.

Israel’s PM Mr Netanyahu facing new probe related to steel company

YNET News reported that sources in the State Prosecutor's Office believe that Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could be facing yet another criminal investigation, this time into the massive profits from shares in a Texas steel plant managed by a relative while it was performing poorly. According to the Israeli media, Netanyahu's shares in the SeaDrift factory quadrupled in value between 2007 and 2010, despite a poor performance by the plant.

Haaretz said that Netanyahu acquired SeaDrift shares worth some NIS 4 million (approx. USD 1.1 million) in 2007, when he was head of the opposition and Ehud Olmert was prime minister. Netanyahu sold his shares in the factory, which is managed by his cousin Nathan Milikowsky, on November 29, 2010 - approximately a year and a half after he was elected prime minister. According to Haaretz, he received at least NIS 16 million for the sale, roughly four times the value of the shares when he acquired them, despite a dramatic downturn in the performance of the company.

The State Prosecutor's Office is examining when Netanyahu received the shares and why, the Israeli TV reports said. Investigators suspect that the inflated value could be disguising a gift worth millions of shekels, Haaretz newspaper reported. Investigators also want to know why Netanyahu asked his personal lawyer and relative David Shimron for a loan in order to pay the taxes on the sale.

Algerian Qatari Steel to start hot test at Algerian Bellara steel rod line soon

SP Global reported that a 500,000 tonnes wire rod rolling mill will start its hot test at the Algerian Qatari Steel's works in Bellara, Jijel province, 300 km east of Algiers, at the end of March. The plant will have three rolling mills (one wire rod line and two rebar lines) in operation by the end of this year, allowing Algeria to become a totally self-sufficient producer of rebar and rods. AQS started production at rebar rolling mill No. 3 (8-16 millimeters) in May 2018 and its rebar rolling mill No. 1 (16-40 mm) in October 2017. Each of the rebar rolling mills has a capacity of 750,000 mt a year. The wire rod line will produce 5.5-12 mm diameter rod

At present the facility is importing billet, but once its two melt shops are in in operation the company will produce its own and also install a direct-reduced iron plant with capacity of 2.5 million tonnes. The first melt shop is ready to operate and the second one will be ready mid-year, according to the executive.

The Bellara plant is a joint venture between Algeria's Sider Co. & National Investment Fund (holding a combined 51% stake) and Qatar Steel International (with the remaining 49%). The project was launched in 2015 with support from the Algerian government, which wants to reduce dependence on imported material.

Jiangsu ChangBao orders seamless tube plant from SMS group

Jiangsu ChangBao Precision Steel Tube Co, Ltd based in Changzhou in Jiangsu Province, China, has awarded SMS group the contract to supply a new, state-of-the-art PQF® (Premium Quality Finishing) seamless tube plant and related automation. Particular highlights of the scope of supply include various performance modules and a KR I 35/45 CNC groove dressing machine. This highly automated plant will enable ChangBao to meet the growing demand for precise, high-strength tubes on the local market. The PQF® ordered will be used to produce tubes within a diameter range of up to 6 5/8 inches and wall thicknesses of between 4 and 20 millimeters. Its annual capacity is 300,000 tons of tubes. These are used in oil and gas production (OCTG tubes) and must satisfy very high quality and tolerance requirements in accordance with API standards.

With the BCO-type PQF® plant (Bilateral Change-Over), the stands are changed at both sides of the mill. The compact, easily accessible construction enhances the user-friendliness of the plant. The drive is simpler in design and is easier to service. In addition, the hydraulic capsules (hydraulic adjustment) are positively connected to the mill frame. This ensures the rolling forces are distributed symmetrically over the mill, resulting in a further significant improvement in wall thickness variations. This increases both the efficiency and flexibility of the mill.

The order also includes the full automation of the machinery and plant sections, as well as state-of-the-art laser technology for measuring the wall thicknesses downstream of the PQF® and the stretch reducing mill (SRM). What’s more, the CaliView® measuring system developed by SMS group allows for fast, inline calibration of all rolling mills, and so guarantees the perfect alignment of the mill line over a period of time. A networked, CNC-based groove dressing machine (KR) for high-precision machining of the SRM stands will also be supplied.

The use of LASUS® technology means the otherwise commonly applied radioactive isotope measuring technique can be replaced by a safe laser technology, which is extremely environmentally friendly to operate and ensures monitor control with the PQF®-SecControl-Technology® as well as front and tail end sharpening in real time with the FTS system.

Any yield losses are minimized using the latest modules in the CARTANEO technology system. The well-known functions CEC (Crop End Control for reducing thick ends), WTCA (Wall Thickness Control, Average), and WTCL (Wall Thickness Control, Local) have been significantly improved thanks to self-learning algorithms (Artificial Intelligence, or AI).

With this investment ChangBao is banking on ultra-modern, highly stable tube production. The lower material stress allows the product range to be extended to include even thinner-walled dimensions and higher-alloy steel grades. The high level of digitalization of all equipment was what convinced the customer to be well equipped for the future.

The new seamless tube plant is scheduled to be commissioned in the first quarter of 2020.

ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih will build a new tube furnace and continue the reconstruction of sinter shop No. 2

ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih presented at public hearings environmental impact assessment reports for two investment projects - reconstruction of a complex of buildings and structures of sintering machines No. 1-3 of the second aglo shop and construction of a tube furnace in the benzene department capture coke production. Public hearings were held with the participation of representatives of public environmental organizations, interested residents of the city, as well as specialists from ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih. The hearing was conducted by Andrey Tishchenko, a representative of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine.

The first project presented is a continuation of the reconstruction of the sinter shop No. 2, which produces fluxed sinter for blast furnaces. Earlier, in 2014–2015, the complex of sinter machine ? 6 was reconstructed to restore its design capacity - 850 thousand tons of sinter per year, as well as to achieve emission standards and improve personnel working conditions. In addition, since 2017, the reconstruction of sintering machines ?? 4 and 5.

A draft was prepared for the renewal of sintering machines No. 1–3, which is planned to be completed by 2021. It includes the replacement of sintering carts and incendiary horn, dust removal conveyors from under the collectors of sintering machines, gas ducts, reconstruction of linear coolers, installation of a new scraper conveyor. Plus, the wet gas cleaning system will be replaced by a more advanced - dry, using electrostatic filters, which will increase the efficiency of gas cleaning from dust to 98.75%. The upgrade will also help increase the sintering layer to 450 mm and reduce fuel consumption.

Second project - At the public hearings, the construction of a tubular furnace in the benzene department of the coke-chemical recovery plant was held. After construction and commissioning of a new tube furnace, the old one, which has been used since 1983, will be decommissioned. To do this, dismantle the pipeline section of coke oven gas due to its wear, replace the pumps and the pipeline section for supplying cold absorption oil. Also update the section of the hot oil pipeline in the area of ??distillation columns. Finally, they will directly install the new tubular furnace, complete with the necessary equipment, and bring in new pipelines.

After commissioning of the new furnace, emissions will decrease by 6.57 tons per year, by greenhouse gases - by almost 400 tons per year.

Both projects do not envisage a significant environmental impact both in the course of the work and in the further operation of the facilities; they comply with the requirements of the current environmental legislation. Authors of the prepared reports and representatives of various services of ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih answered the questions of residents and the public.
