   British Steel Rails Supporting Llangollen Railway’s Line
   
   British Steel’s Scunthorpe Rail has supplied the Llangollen Railway with a second delivery of 56E1 flat-bottom rail, helping one of North Wales’ top heritage attractions prepare for an exciting year ahead. Last year’s delivery of rail allowed the line to extend its journey to Corwen by 2.5 miles, and the latest delivery is now being used to replace existing track in two areas midway along the line. Mr. Terry Pickthall, Llangollen Railway Press and Communications Officer, said that the recent delivery of British Steel 56E1 rail has allowed them to replace a sizeable section of worn rail between Berwyn and Glyndyfrdwy stations in time for the busy Easter operations in April.
   
   The railway, which is the only standard gauge heritage line in North Wales, runs through the Dee Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The railway starts at Llangollen Station and runs for 7.5 miles following the River Dee upstream to Carrog. The installation of last year’s delivery of flat-bottom rail allowed the line to extend its journey to Corwen Station, and Terry said that the team is putting the finishing touches to the new station at Corwen, which will be a great asset to their operations.
   
   The former British Rail Ruabon to Barmouth line closed to passenger traffic in 1964, and in 1975, the heritage railway was started by a group of enthusiasts who saw the potential for a scenic line through the Dee Valley. Relaying further track is planned for later this year, which will take around two years, and Scunthorpe Rail is looking into supplying its corrosion-resistant Zinoco® rail for the tunnel section. The Zinoco rails are coated in zinc, which forms a protective barrier against corrosion, and its super-hydrophobic finish also repels water, making it a perfect option for the Llangollen line's corrosive environment.

   Brazil to Not Extend AD Duty on HR Coils from China
   
   The Brazilian Foreign Trade Chamber, Camex, has denied a request from ArcelorMittal, CSN, and Gerdau to reapply anti-dumping measures on hot rolled coil imports from China, which are set to expire on May 21, 2023. The trade chamber believes that no relevant changes have been recorded in the analysis of previous public interest assessments during the years of suspension of such measures. The companies involved in the investigation were Chinese Hebei Iron & Steel, Bengang, Baosteel, and Maanshan Iron & Steel Company.
   
   In 2018, Brazil imposed anti-dumping measures and countervailing duties on Chinese HRC for up to five years. However, these measures were never applied for reasons of public interest, which is a mandatory assessment in anti-dumping or subsidy investigations in Brazil since April 2019.
   
   The petitioners' request covered flat-rolled products of alloy or non-alloy steel, of a width equal to or greater than 600mm, hot-rolled, in sheets of thickness less than 4.75mm, or in coils of any thickness, classified under HS codes: 7208.10.00, 7208.25.00, 7208.26.10, 7208.26.90, 7208.27.10, 7208.27.90, 7208.36.10, 7208.36.90, 7208.37.00, 7208.38.10, 7208.38.90, 7208.39.10, 7208.39.90, 7208.40.00, 7208.53.00, 7208.54.00, 7208.90.00, 7225.30.00, and 7225.40.90.

   Colombia Extends AD Duty on Casings & Tubes from China
   
   The Colombian Ministry of Commerce, Industry & Tourism has announced its final decision regarding the anti-dumping five-year review on non-stainless casing and production tubes imported from China. Following a comprehensive evaluation, the MCIT has decided to continue imposing the difference between the FOB base price of $1,914 per metric ton and the declared FOB price, provided that the latter is less than the base price.
   
   This decision comes after a rigorous examination of the facts and data available, including information provided by interested parties during the investigation period. The MCIT's decision is intended to ensure that Colombian companies producing non stainless casing and production tubes are not negatively impacted by unfair trade practices, while also promoting fair competition in the Colombian market.
   
   The imposition of the anti-dumping duty will be valid for a period of five years. This determination reaffirms Colombia's commitment to maintaining a level playing field for its domestic producers and upholding the principles of fair trade. It also highlights the government's efforts to protect the interests of its industries and promote economic growth in the country.
   
   The determination takes effect from the date of publication, valid for a period of five years.

   Fire in Blast Furnace at ArcelorMittal Gijón Halts Production
   
   On March 22, a scheduled maintenance operation was being conducted in Blast Furnace A at the ArcelorMittal factory in Gijón when an internal reaction occurred, causing pig iron to come into contact with water inside the furnace's crucible. This reaction led to the release of pig iron through the wall of the crucible and the nozzle that was going to be replaced. The cause of the presence of water in the crucible is yet to be determined.
   The emergency plan was immediately activated, and personnel were evacuated from the furnace without any personal injuries. The ArcelorMittal Asturias fire brigade, along with the first intervention teams, responded quickly and effectively, leading to the fire being brought under control by 7 pm and subsequently extinguished. Air quality monitoring stations both owned by ArcelorMittal and the regional network in Gijón recorded no environmental impact.
   At present, the facility is being cooled down to allow safe access to the furnace to assess the damage. A first inspection has revealed that a breakout occurred in the crucible. Blast Furnace B remains operational.

    EUROFER Seeks Industrial Policy for Green Investments in Europe
    
    EUROFER, the European Steel Association, emphasizes the importance of a thriving European steel industry for the EU's strategic autonomy and resilience. Despite this, the EU has transitioned from being a net steel exporter to a major net steel importer, losing 30 million tonnes of sales on the EU and export markets over the past decade. Furthermore, the EU steel industry has lost 26 million tonnes of steel production capacity and 25% of its workforce.
    To remain competitive during the greatest transformation of the industry towards climate-neutrality, the EU must adopt innovative and disruptive measures. Otherwise, competitors such as the US and China are likely to create a more attractive investment and production environment for green steel, further threatening the EU's strategic autonomy. It is essential to ensure that steel is at the core of the Green Deal Industry Plan and as an integral part of the Net-Zero Industry Act to transition steel and other energy-intensive industries towards carbon neutrality and enhance circularity while protecting EU industry competitiveness.
    EUROFER calls for enabling conditions, including access to sufficient and globally cost-competitive fossil-free energy and primary and secondary raw materials such as steel scrap, better tailored, more certain, clear and flexible funding and financial incentives across the EU, establishment of lead markets for green steel and products, and a trade policy that levels the playing field with global competitors. Additionally, EUROFER prioritizes mainstreaming industrial policy and competitiveness while reducing regulatory burdens in all policy initiatives and legislative proposals, ensuring long-term predictability.

    ArcelorMittal Duisburg: New ladle furnace saves CO2
    
    ArcelorMittal's Duisburg site is set to receive a second ladle furnace, with an investment of €11.8 million. The furnace will complement the first, installed in 1991, and will allow for longer treatment times and more energy to be introduced to the 150-ton melt. The additional heating capacity will enable a higher proportion of scrap to be used as a coolant in the converter, resulting in a reduction of CO2 emissions by 57,000 metric tons per year.
    
    The new furnace is set to be installed during ongoing production from November 2023, with commissioning required by April 2024.
    
    The furnace will still be used after the site's planned transition to electric arc furnace technology for climate-neutral steel production.

    MMK Prepares to Launch First Phase of New Coke Plant 12
    
    Russia’s leading steelmaker Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works (MMK) has initiated the first phase of construction of a new coke plant to reduce emissions into the environment. The Company has commenced drying and preheating unit No 3 as part of the construction of coke plant No 12. Both units are expected to be operational this summer, marking the completion of the first phase of the project.
    Unit No 3 has been prepared for drying and preheating following the completion of refractory brickwork, with permanent and temporary gas pipelines installed from the second collection unit in the plant’s chemical product recovery and processing shop. Pre-commissioning work has begun on unit No. 3, while necessary equipment is being installed at unit No. 4. The quenching chambers for the first of three dry coke quenching units have been prepared and installation work is under way.
    MMK aims to modernize its coke and chemical production facilities to meet the objectives under the Federal Clean Air Project and to drastically reduce its environmental impact. The launch of coke plant No 12, with a yearly capacity of 2.5 million metric tons of dry coke, followed by the decommissioning of obsolete coke production capacities, will reduce gross atmospheric emissions by 11,350 metric tons per year, while CO2 emissions will decrease by 2.2 million metric tons per year.
    The construction of other facilities at coke plant No 12, including the coal preparation and coke screening units, will continue, with the plant’s first and second units expected to be commissioned in 2024 as part of the second phase of the project.

    Primetals to Modernize Cycloconverter at Outokumpu’s Tornio Plant
    
    Primetals Technologies is set to assist Outokumpu, a Finnish stainless steel producer, in upgrading the cycloconverter drive control system and power section for stand No 2 at the stainless DRAPL in Tornio, Finland. The upgrade, which is scheduled for autumn 2023, aims to improve the production line's availability and ensure the drive system's future spare-part supply conditions.
    
    The selection of Primetals Technologies was based on the supplier's adaptable replacement concept and the existing DRAPL's service issues and improvements. The supplier's responsibilities will include the installation of new controller and power sections, upgrading the excitation unit and auxiliary system, and implementing Level 1 software for the new drive system.
    
    The integration of the new system into the existing basic automation control system will leave the interface unchanged.
