Saarstahl AG Invests In Homburg Site Of Its Saar-Blankstahl Subsidiary

Work is now underway to expand the heat treatment capacity at Saar-Blankstahl in Homburg. With the decision taken by the Supervisory Board at the end of 2018 to expand the annealing capacity of its subsidiary, Saarstahl AG is responding to an expected increase in worldwide demand for heat-treated bar material and to demand for higher-quality steels, which also play an important role in electric mobility. The company is investing 17 million euros in this project.

Saar-Blankstahl is a specialist in advanced products made from bright bar steel. The company uses state-of-the-art equipment and manufacturing processes to produce innovative and high-quality solutions tailored to customer specifications, above all for the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, the electromechanical industry and the turned parts and rolling bearing industry. Saar-Blankstahl GmbH purchases rolled material exclusively from its parent company Saarstahl AG.

In the first construction phase, the investment comprises the construction of a roughly 4,300 m² hall with complete infrastructure and cranes, a roller hearth furnace for heat treatment and a straightening machine with a corresponding packaging unit. The new heat treatment plant is scheduled to begin operation in autumn 2020.

Last autumn, the Supervisory Boards of SHS – Stahl-Holding-Saar, AG der Dillinger Hüttenwerke and Saarstahl AG approved investments totaling almost 90 million euros. In addition to investing in further growth as at Saar-Blankstahl, these investments serve to improve environmental protection (48 million euros alone), improve quality, increase efficiency and boost attractiveness as an employer.

SMS Group To Revamp Hyundai Steel’s Incheon Heavy Section Mill

After successfully completing the commissioning of its new horizontal straightening machine, Hyundai Steel has awarded SMS group a follow-up order for the revamp of its Incheon heavy section mill in South Korea. With this revamp Hyundai Steel aims to expand its product range towards larger sections with webs of up to 1,100 millimeters and sheet piles up to a system height of 800 millimeters. SMS group takes up this challenge as the leader of a consortium with Hyundai Rotem, a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Group.

As part of the project, various new functions will be added to the existing two-high breakdown mill stand and a new sideguard manipulator will be installed. The rolling line downstream of the breakdown stand will be replaced by a new CCS® (Compact Cartridge Stands) tandem group and one additional CCS® finishing stand. The stands will feature nominal rolling forces of 12,000 kN for the horizontal rolls and 8,000 kN for the vertical rolls. The CCS® stands will reduce the maintenance effort, and enable a shorter roll change time and higher rolling speeds, while achieving better tolerances.

Commissioning of the new rolling line is scheduled for October 2020.

voestalpine Secures 10-Year Contract With Engine Manufacturer Rolls-Royce

A new contract with Rolls-Royce, a world-leading engine manufacturer, again draws on high-performance materials from voestalpine. For a number of years, voestalpine has supplied Rolls-Royce with high-quality steel alloys for engine components from its site in Kapfenberg, in the Austrian federal state of Styria. The current major contract has been secured by Group company voestalpine Böhler Edelstahl, marking its entry into the market for rotating engine disks. The disk materials must meet particularly stringent requirements, having to operate in conditions of up to 16,500 rotations per minute and temperatures of more than 2,000°C inside an engine.

As a new European producer, the Group’s High Performance Metals Division supplies highly sophisticated pre-materials for engine disks which are required to withstand huge forces during flight. High-tech materials and special forgings from voestalpine are already used in structural, undercarriage, wing, and engine parts in all major models of aircraft, from Airbus and Boeing to Embraer and Bombardier. The Group currently generates revenue of around EUR 400 million in the growing aerospace market, and this figure is expected to increase to EUR 500 million over the medium term.

As recently as fall 2018, a new EUR 40 million high-speed forging line went into operation at the site in Kapfenberg, creating the ideal technical conditions for the manufacture of such high-tech products. The contract with Rolls-Royce extends over a period of ten years, with the first deliveries scheduled for 2020.

Bengaluru Steel Flyover Project Dropped - Report

Bangalore Mirror reported that the controversial steel flyover project between Basaveshwara Circle (Chalukya Circle) in the heart of the city and Hebbal is officially off. The Government informed the High Court that the project has been dropped. Following this, the HC disposed a public interest litigation which challenged the construction of the flyover. The project, first announced when Siddaramaiah was the chief minister was revived under HD Kumaraswamy. But it has been opposed by the public, civic activists and environmentalists all along. The project was first proposed in 2016 and was to be 6.5 kms long and cost about INR 2,200 crore.

The government had contended that environment clearance was not necessary for the project as it fell inside the BBMP limits. Around 800 trees were also needed to be cut if the project went ahead. Questions about lack of environmental impact study and consultation with the public did not seem to deter the government.

The government made efforts to show the need for the project. The BDA even released a 3D animation video to show the viability of the flyover and its use. However, continued protests and legal challenges posed put the government on the backfoot and a reluctant government said it was shelving the project.

Moroccan Branch Of Thyssenkrupp Aerospace Delivers First Major Order Thyssenkrupp Aerospace

One of thyssenkrupp Aerospace's strength is customer proximity thereby offering individual and reliable material and supply chain solutions locally. For this reason, the aerospace specialists further expanded their global network last year and built a new location in Morocco. Mr Eric Cornilleau, Managing Director thyssenkrupp Aerospace France said that "The aerospace industry has been growing rapidly over the last years, which is why reliable, timely supply and sustainable quality via a local presence is very important to our customers. Our new materials processing and logistics centre in Casablanca serves precisely these needs and ensures just-in-time supply to our customers.”

The first customers already take benefit from the new warehouse. Since many years, these partners are part of thyssenkrupp Aerospace’s customer base and were previously supplied from France. Mr Cornilleau said that "Thanks to our immediate proximity, we have now significantly shortened the distances to our local customers, which benefits our partners enormously and allows to develop our relationships with additional volumes to be supplied to the Moroccan companies. With the delivery of our first major order for processed aluminum plates, our Casablanca site is fully operational.”

Proximity to local partners is particularly important for short-term delivery requests. In addition, customers no longer have to operate their own warehouses and can have their required materials delivered just-in-time.

The new branch is located on an area of around 3,500 m² (warehouse, production hall and offices) in the Ouled Salah area, between the city centre of Casablanca and the airport industrial area. In addition to the storage of materials such as aluminum, steel and copper in various forms and alloys, the service portfolio also includes extensive processing services. State-of-the-art machines cut the material exactly to customer specifications and deliver it just-in-time to the customer's plant.

Rio Tinto Cuts Iron Ore Guidance Further By 13 Million Tonnes

Rio Tinto Iron Ore said that it is currently experiencing mine operational challenges, particularly in the Greater Brockman hub in the Pilbara, which is resulting in a higher proportion of certain lower grade products, partly to protect the quality of our flagship Pilbara Blend. It said “Around 1.5 million tonnes of these products were sold in the first quarter, as noted in the 2019 Quarterly Operations Review, 16 April 2019. Additional sales of these products will be made during 2019.”

It said “In light of these challenges, there has also been a review of mine plans, resulting in guidance of Pilbara shipments (100% basis) for 2019 being revised to between 320 million tonnes and 330 million tonnes (previously between 333 million tonnes and 343 million tonnes). Given the change in volume guidance, unit costs will be updated in the Q2 Quarterly Operations Review (16 July 2019).”

LISCO Plans To Build 2 Steel Plants

Libyan Iron and Steel Company plans to expand DRI and steelmaking capacity and plans to launch a tender for the construction of two new plants in order to increase production of about 2 million tonnes of DRI and 1.3 million tonnes billets. The expansion aims to provide the company with billet to feed its long steel production capacity.

Mr Mohamed al-Faqih Chairman told Reuters that to feed the new mill, Lisco plans to attract foreign companies to build two plants to produce billets, with a tender worth USD 1 billion to be likely launched next month. Mr Faqih said that “We are preparing the tender documents and that Lisco is targeting large European companies such as Italy’s Danieli or Germany’s SMS Group.”

The steelmaker has been hit by power cuts, shortages and the reluctance of European firms to engage with the country amid chaos since the toppling of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. But thanks to its location in the western Libyan city of Misrata largely untouched by violence, Lisco managed to keep producing and even open a new bar mill last year with an annual capacity of 800,000 tonnes.

CMC Reports Strong Q3 Results

Commercial Metals Company has announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended May 31, 2019. For the three months ended May 31, 2019, earnings from continuing operations were USD 78.6 million on net sales of USD 1.6 billion as compared to earnings from continuing operations of USD 42.3 million on net sales of USD 1.2 billion for the prior year period. Revenue increased 33% on a year-over-year basis driven by the Company's growth strategy and strong fundamentals in its core markets. Ms Barbara R Smith, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, said "The strong results for the quarter reflect the strength of construction activity, as well as solid industrial production levels and the resilient US and Polish economies. Our recent acquisition, our greenfield Oklahoma facility and introduction of hot spooled rebar were all meaningful contributors to top and bottom line financial results. In addition, the fundamentals of the fabrication segment have improved significantly as we have shipped the majority of the lower priced work in our backlog which has resulted in a significant improvement in the segment results."

Americas Recycling segment recorded adjusted EBITDA of USD 12.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2019, compared to adjusted EBITDA of USD 19.5 million for the prior year third quarter. Despite a decline in ferrous pricing, CMC generated good EBITDA results in this segment as a result of our diligent buying practice, high inventory turnover and recent investment in separation technology to better refine its end non-ferrous purity levels to achieve higher margins.

Americas Mills segment recorded adjusted EBITDA of USD 158.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2019, an increase of 76% compared to adjusted EBITDA of USD 89.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The third quarter results include adjusted EBITDA of $53.6 million from the acquired mills on shipments of 469 thousand tons. As a result of decreases in both ferrous scrap cost and our manufacturing costs due to higher production levels, combined with relatively flat selling prices, the per ton EBITDA contribution for Americas Mills segment increased $26 per ton in comparison to the third quarter of fiscal 2018.

International Mill segment in Poland recorded adjusted EBITDA of USD 24.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2019, compared to adjusted EBITDA of USD 32.0 million for the comparable prior year quarter. Elevated levels of imported product resulted in a slight compression of metal margins during the quarter. Despite the reduction in selling prices, this segment is on track to earn the second highest level of profitability in its history due to the continued strong non-residential construction market in Poland.

Outlook "Our outlook for demand remains very positive driven by the continued strength in non-residential construction activity levels in our markets. Leveraging the growth in our business from the acquisition, combined with the continued favorable long steel margin environment and improvement in our fabrication segment, we anticipate a strong finish to our fiscal year. We also anticipate that our business will generate strong cash flows, creating the opportunity to reduce our indebtedness levels."
