Indian industry body ASSOCHAM calls for raising import duty on steel products.
Indian industry body ASSOCHAM called for raising import duty on steel products from the prevailing five per cent to a minimum of ten per cent so that domestic manufacturers can withstand growing imports from China and CIS countries. The challenging global environment is bringing fierce competitive pressures on performance and price reduction. “The oversupply in international markets is forcing China and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) to dump their steel products like hot rolled coils, cold rolled coils and other coated products into growing markets like India,” said secretary general D.S. Rawat.

Condat ready to launch CONDATUB C33 at Tube Düsseldorf 2012. Increased performance for Hot Tube Rolling with Ceramic coatings.
At the next TUBE Düsseldorf 2012 show, CONDAT will launch a new and innovative product dedicated to hot rolling of seamless steel tubes: CONDATUB C 33. This new formulation was developed using knowledge gained in the field of aeronautic forging where similar processing conditions and constraints exist. Developed as a ceramic based powder, CONDATUB C33 is a product with high technical value. CONDATUB C33 eliminates sticking during hot rolling. It also improves internal surface finish quality of hot rolled tubes and eases mandrel extraction operations. Easy to use, it is sprayed inside the tubes before introducing the mandrel (CONDAT can assist with the choice of suitable spray equipment). Eliminating the need for additional lubricant, CONDATUB C 33 simplifies the process and reduces waste disposal costs. CONDATUB C33 is the economical solution for reducing the overall costs in hot rolling of seamless steel tubes.
CONDAT’s principle philosophy is also to offer products whose chemistry is stable and environmentally responsible. CONDATUB C33 eliminates the need for lubricants containing graphite and phosphates in the workshops, thus offering a healthier working environment for the operators. Without Borax nor SVHC substances, CONDATUB C33 minimizes the inhalation risk of toxic products by the operators and offers a process without effluents.
A range rich in technologies. CONDAT will exhibit at TUBE Düsseldorf 2012 (Hall 5 D16) show a wide range of products adapted to all tube production processes, with in particular very specific lubricants for: Hot rolling operations : - Lubricants for mandrels in powder or liquid form. - Micronized, synthetic graphite dispersions in aqueous media offering an alternative to petroleum products. These products enable optimum lubrication of the dies and a very precise tube calibration. - Cooling and protection products after extrusion Rolling / welding operations : - Concentrated soluble products allowing for easy forming operations with optimum surface finish while protecting the machines. - Protection products allowing long term storage with no corrosion risks.
CONDAT also used its expertise in the cold wire drawing/forming field to develop a complete range of products including surface treatments, concentrated solubles, drawing oils, pastes and forming gel to answer all requests of its customers.

Brazil Steel Industry has presented lower revised forecasts.
Despite the all-time high output forecast for 2011 of 35.3 Mt, 2011 was a difficult year for the Brazilian steel industry. The Brazil Steel Institute had to revise its forecasts, which have come out lower. The exceeding steel production capacity compared to demand remains high worldwide (500 Mt) and in Brazil as well (20.2 Mt). Like other countries in Latin America, Brazil has been suffering deeper deindustrialization caused by increased direct and indirect steel importation. The metal-mechanic chain has been strongly impacted. Over 60% of China's exportations to Brazil are of metal-mechanic goods. “Given this scenario, we have had to bring our crude steel forecasts down by 3%”, said the President of the Board of Brazil Steel, André B. Gerdau Johannpeter.

Vassena Filiere Srl: dies VG402R for the high speed drawing.
„VG402R“ is a system of drawing, formed by two components: a Die and a Pressure Die. The die has a core that is well dimensioned compared to the holes; it is assembled in fixed and immovable way in its compact casing in standard, commonly used, measures. The pressure die, with cylindrical hole and pointed final part made of hard metal, fits perfectly in the cone entrance of the die, permitting the removal of the lubricant solidification in the cone of the die, during the pauses. The particular structure of the pressure core guarantees efficacy and constancy to the lubrication. The support beat gives more stability and less vibration to the core and consequently less possibilities of breakage and more reduction of wire vibration. Moreover the system VG402R is equipped with a drain hole that permits the possible loss of lubricant, that could be caused by an excess of pressure, to return into the box that contains lubricant. Die and pressure die are assembled in an extremely easy and fast way by the operator without waste of time and without the use of particular tools, as the assemblage is effected with a light manual pressure of the two components. As the core is assembled as it was a normal die, even the possible operation of reconditioning is made easy, in the case you wish to reuse the system more times.
German Steel Association expects stable steel production in 2012.
The German Steel Association (Wirtschaftsvereinigung Stahl, WV) expects for 2012 a crude steel production of around 44 million tonnes. That is, the production will remain stable. "The reduced inventory levels at distributors and processors, caused by the year end, are a good starting position for the steel industry in 2012," said Hans Jürgen Kerkhoff, President of the WV steel. In December 2011, steel companies in Germany produced three million tonnes of crude steel.
DEM Wire Rolling Technology: new leaflet - micro rolling cassettes.
Micro Rolling Cassettes are specially studied to replace traditional dies used on all multi-pass drawing lines. Thanks to the compact design and the roller working concept they give benefits in speeds and production capacity increases. Less down times are guaranteed thanks to the long roll life, lower power consumption due to the lower friction of the rolls and less or no lubrication needed on the wire since they can work without lubrication. Latest generation of operator-friendly DEM micro rolling cassettes have been specifically designed to guarantee easy operator set up and tuning of the final wire dimension like no other of its kind. Final wire tuning can be easily performed with the drawing line in operation. The units are complete with shafts, roll holders, water cooling circuit and centralized lubricating circuit.
