   US Steel, Norfolk Southern & Greenbrier to Develop Steel Railcar
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   10 Dec, 2021, 5:21 am
   
   Three of America's leading industrial and transportation companies United States Steel Corporation, Norfolk Southern Corporation and The Greenbrier Companies Inc announced a new, more sustainable steel gondola railcar. The partnership between supplier, builder, and end-user is rooted in the recognition that North America's aging gondola fleet will soon require substantial replacement with a more sustainable design. US Steel's materials innovation, Norfolk Southern's commitment to sustainable freight transportation, and Greenbrier's deep engineering capability have led to a stronger, lighter, and more energy-efficient product for the freight rail industry. Using an innovative formula for high-strength, lighter-weight steel developed by US Steel, each gondola’s unloaded weight is reduced by up to 15,000 pounds. Gondola railcars transport loose bulk material such as metal scraps, coils, wood chips, steel slabs, and ore. Norfolk Southern will initially acquire 800 of the Greenbrier engineered gondolas.
   
   Features of the newly designed gondolas provide several benefits
   
   1. Extended Lifecycle: The new steel is twice as strong as traditional steel used in the railcar manufacturing process, potentially extending the useful life of each gondola to 50 years. A stronger external finish also strengthens the railcar body, lowering maintenance costs.
   
   2. Increased Sustainability: The new gondola is more energy-efficient, both during production and in use. The steel fabrication process requires less time, leading to improved energy efficiency due to less material being used. The lower weight decreases the fuel needed by locomotives hauling the railcars, reducing energy usage and lowering emissions.
   
   3. Greater Freight Capacity: Enhancements to the gondola design also afford greater freight capacity. The high-strength steel requires less structural reinforcement, simplifying the manufacturing process and allowing more total cargo space in each railcar.
   
   Moving freight by rail is the most environmentally friendly mode of surface transport, with the average US railroad moving one ton of freight 470 miles per gallon of fuel. The high-strength steel gondola aims to further improve this performance for railroads.

   UK Trade Secretary Warns US over Section 232 Steel Tariffs
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   10 Dec, 2021, 5:32 am
   
   BBC reported that UK’s International Trade Secretary Ms Anne-Marie Trevelyan has warned the US the UK could step up retaliatory measures if punitive tariffs on UK steel exports are not lifted soon. On her return after meeting US Commerce Secretary Ms Gina Raimondo, Ms Trevelyan said "We had a very frank conversation. I was very clear that the pressures we are under to use countervailing measures if we can't solve the problem are becoming more acute. I am very keen that we solve this with what is our closest ally in the US through a positive removal of the tariffs.”
   
   Ms Trevelyan said she had invited Ms Raimondo to London for further talks on the issue in January. But by then, UK companies will be at a competitive disadvantage compared to companies based in the EU.
   
   The Trump-era tariffs of 25% on steel exports and 10% on aluminium exports were imposed when the UK was part of the European Union. The EU and the US have now concluded an agreement that will see them lifted from 1 January. But the tariffs on UK producers remain.

   Researchers Develop Model for Additively Manufactured Steel
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   13 Dec, 2021, 5:03 am
   
   Researchers have devised a data-centric approach to generative modeling for 3D-printed steel. The team believes that their model could help determine the quality of a design and the material before fabrication. Additive manufacturing processes, commonly known as 3D printing, present a multitude of exciting opportunities across numerous industries including engineering, aerospace, and automotive. This is due to the development of AM for metallic materials which has facilitated the production of complex and intricate components such as fuel nozzles for jet engines. However, unlike conventional materials, metals that have been fabricated and formed via AM processes exhibit greater levels of variation in both their geometric and mechanical properties. These variations are not widely understood which impedes post-manufacture testing for establishing safety standards which mean manufacturers are met with a certain barrier.
   
   Of all the emerging technologies in AM, one of the most promising for the production of large-scale components is wire arc additive manufacturing. This process is a variation of direct energy deposition technology and utilizes an arc welding process to 3D-print metal components. Unlike conventional metal powder AM methods, WAAM melts metal wire using an electric arc as a heat source on a metal substrate base. When the wire is melted and expressed in the form of beads on the substrate. As the beads adhere to one another, a layer of metal material is produced. The process is then repeated, layer-by-layer until the metal component is completed.
   
   However, there are still challenges associated with this process owing to the uncertainty around the structural and mechanical properties and complex thermal deformations. Hence there is a need for a method to support an effective material characterization for WAAM. Researchers develop a generative statistical model that enables ensemble-based predictions of the performance of a stainless steel WAAM component before it is manufactured,” explained Dodwell. In order to successfully characterize the mechanical properties of WAAM steel effectively, the team also needed to develop a method for isolating geometric variation characterization. Then by combining the generative statistical models for mechanical and geometric variation in WAAM steel, a unified statistical model was produced. What is more, this generative statistical model treats both sources of variation independently.
   
   The team demonstrated that acquiring relatively small amounts of training data can be utilized for successfully training a generative statistical model for AM steel. This paves the way for making general predictions of performance at a variety of structural lengths, however, the team state that experimental testing remains imperative where safety-critical certifications are concerned.
   
   The research is published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society.

   South Korea Minister Visiting US for talks on Steel Tariffs
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   13 Dec, 2021, 5:06 am
   
   Yonhap reported that South Korea’s Deputy Trade Minister Mr Jeong Dae-jin plans to visit Washington for talks on supply chains of key materials and steel tariff issues. During the three-day visit starting on Monday, Mr Jeong will have a series of meetings with officials of the White House, the Commerce Department, the US Trade Representative office, Congress and major think tanks to boost cooperation on a range of bilateral trade and industry issues, according to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. The meetings will be focused on follow-up measures on the establishment of a new dialogue channels, as the two sides agreed last month to create a channel to jointly address supply chain challenges and issues of new technologies. Also on the table will be tariffs on South Korea's steel and aluminum exports.
   
   The Seoul government has also sought negotiations with the US to revise the Section 232 tariff rules, after Washington decided in October to lift tariffs on European steel and aluminum imports imposed by former US President Donald Trump.
   
   In 2018, the US waived the tariffs on South Korean products, but it was in return for a yearly import quota of 2.63 million tonnes of steel or 70% of South Korea’s average steel products export volume over the past three years.

    GMS Market Commentary on Ship Breaking in Week 49
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    13 Dec, 2021, 5:11 am
    
    World's leading cash buyer of ships for recycling GMS said that “Markets remain tentatively poised lastweek, as days of constant reversals have left most end Buyers without any motivation or appetite to acquire units at yesterday’s levels. India has been the most affected by the recent falls, with all offers on vessels now coming in around the mid USD 500s/LDT and below, having seen well above USD 600/LDT just last month. The decline in local steel plate prices in India have been so severe (in excess of USD 60/Ton in a matter of a weeks) that many Alang Buyers are continuing to wait-and-watch further market developments, rather than offering on any available units. The ongoing dearth in the supply of tonnage has stretched into this week as well, as an increasing number of owners in the wet sector are looking set to bank on market improvements going into 2022.”
    
    GMS said “One Suezmax sale was concluded into Bangladesh at decent numbers this week and this shows that the falls have not been that pronounced in neighboring markets, certainly not as bad in Chattogram at least. Gadani has been struggling with currency depreciations of late, and the week even started with a dramatic level of PKR 178.20 against the US Dollar the highest EVER. Turkey too has not been spared from collapsing currency fiasco as the Lira teeters on the edge just shy of TRY 14.0 against the US Dollar, while local and import steel respectively registered declines of their own.”
    
    GMS added “As we get closer to the holidays and Owners the world over gear up for time with family and friends, we anticipate supply could further weaken and deliveries further delayed in light of increased travel restrictions due to the new Omicron Covid variant.”
    
    GMS Pricing
    
    India/Bangladesh/Pakistan – Week 49, Down USD 10 WoW
    
    Dry Bulk – USD 550-590 per LDT
    
    Tankers - USD 560-600 per LDT
    
    Containers - USD 570-610 per LDT

    Chinese Cuts to to Benefit Global Steel Trade - Ms Soma Mondal
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    13 Dec, 2021, 5:25 am
    
    Financial Express reported that Steel Authority of India Limited’s Chairperson Ms Soma Mondal, during an industry event, said that steel trade in the global market will see a significant change with China cutting down production and the Chinese government withdrawing various support it provided to its steel industry and Indian steel producers are expected to benefit from the opportunity, especially in the markets where there are direct competition with the Chinese suppliers like Southeast Asia and the Middle East.”
    
    Ms Mondal said “The Chinese government, which has been providing support to its steel industry in terms of various policies, recently has been withdrawing the same so as to ease the environmental concerns. The decision to cut down production has a tremendous impact on the input materials such as iron ore and coking coal. The demand for these are expected to come down and the prices will follow the path also.”
    
    Ms Mondal added “Prices are expected to remain range-bound not only for the rest of the year but for the coming year too. The Indian market is strong for the government’s thrust on infrastructure building, which accounted for 68% of India’s total steel consumption. While domestic demand would remain intact, infrastructure building across geographies would aid Indian companies get higher margins. Flat product prices are in sync with the global prices. Europe prices are significantly higher and therefore the arbitrage is huge.”

    POSCO to Split Steel Operations & Form Posco Holding
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    13 Dec, 2021, 5:27 am
    
    South Korean steel maker POSCO Group has annoinced plans to split off its steel operations and become a holding company, Posco Holdings. The reorganisation is aimed at finding new growth businesses and enhancing shareholder value. Under the plan, the group’s steel making arm will be physically split off and will be placed under the planned holding company. The envisioned holding company is expected to hold a 100% stake in the steelmaking unit and will be given advantage of securing additional investment for new businesses. POSCO will hold a shareholder meeting on January 28 and the split is expected to take place on March 1.
    
    But the split-off scheme faces a major hurdle, as it must get approval from major shareholders such as the National Pension Service. The pension operator is the largest-single shareholder of Posco shares with 11.75%. Previously, the NPS has expressed objections to the spinoff plans of LG Chem and SK Innovation.
    
    Posco Group has been persuading individual shareholders to approve its split-off scheme to explore new businesses and change its typecast image as a steel maker amid growing pressure to curb carbon emissions. The steel maker plans to expand producing 7 million tonnes of hydrogen by 2050 by the current goal of 5 million tonne. Posco is seeking to transform its governance structure to better respond to ESG trends, expand investment in new business such as secondary battery materials and hydrogen and enhance its value in the stock market.
    
    Posco group’s steelmaking arm Posco has been controlling subsidiaries with its ownership of majority stakes. It has 61.3% stake in Posco Chemical, 52.8% in Posco Engineering and Construction and 62.9% in Posco International.

    Mr Jindal Seeks Support for Green Transition of Steel Sector

    Moneycontrol reported that JSW Steel’s Chairman and Managing Director Mr Sajjan Jindal, during an industry event, said that proactive government support through well-designed policy will ensure that the Indian steel industry is not discouraged from making the transition to green production. He said “Viable green steel production could be more than a decade away even though several of the world’s major steelmakers, including us at JSW, are actively developing plans to adopt the process to meet carbon-neutral goals. In this context, switching to clean hydrogen seems to be the most likely immediate solution to get to net zero.”
    
    According to Mr Jindal, the steel industry has a crucial role to play in fulfilling the target of net zero emissions from India by 2070 as set by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the COP26 climate conference. He said “While the industry accounts for 0.7% of the world’s economic output, it contributes 7% towards the global emissions. This needs to change and needs to change fast. Curtailing carbon emissions will require major upgrades at the steel mills and the initiative will have to be taken at the industry as well as policy level.”
    
    Mr Jindal said “A new transformative approach would be required, which includes using carbon capture, utilisation and storage with the existing fossil fuel-based iron making BF-BOF, substituting hydrogen for carbon as a reductant and using renewable electrical energy. With the deployment of best available technologies, low-carbon steelmaking would become competitive with respect to conventional methods, but the transition period may involve high initial capital costs. While the prices of renewable electricity and green hydrogen are falling fast, the capital costs of setting up new plants and shuttering old ones, I foresee will be a major barrier to change.”
    
    He added “In such a scenario, proactive government support through well-designed policy will ensure that the industry is not discouraged from making the transition to green production.”
