Stainless steel pipe meets the period of price hike
Abstract: Recently, the production shutdowns farce of nickel constantly performing because of environmental reasons, nickel price increasing , steel mill maintenance and shutdown, the environmental protection pressure, material has been called up constantly. Based on comprehensive factors. Large material consumption, stainless steel tube factory, finally can’t hold up, has issued price adjustment notice to the market.
Stainless steel accounts for about 8% to 16% of the total steel, it has a wide range of applications in the national economy. Because the steel pipe has a hollow section, which is the most suitable for liquid, gas and solid conveying pipe. Also with the same weight of the bar compared pipe section coefficient, anti bending and anti torsion strength, so it has become important materials for a variety of mechanical and architectural structures. The structure and components, which are made of stainless steel, have greater section modulus than solid components in the case of equal weight. Therefore, the stainless steel pipe itself is a kind of economical metal section steel, which is an important part of high efficiency steel, Especially in the oil drilling, refining and transportation and other industries demand larger, secondly geological drilling, chemical industry, construction industry, machinery industry, automobile and aircraft manufacturing, boiler, medical equipment, furniture and bicycle manufacturing also requires a large variety of steel pipe. With the development of new technologies such as atomic energy, rocket, missile and space industry, the status of stainless steel tube in the national defense industry, science and technology and economic construction is becoming more and more important.
Although today stainless steel plate volume price with LME nickel weak and a bit shaky, but pull up a lot because of the cost of prior stage cumulative gains have been made of stainless steel tube, even the price of intermediate frequency furnace have arrived at the close to refining material prices low. Stainless steel tube factory once again usher in a price hike on stage". Generally increases the amplitude of 201# at 200 yuan / ton 300-500 yuan / ton 304# increase.
In addition to raw material prices rise, but also for hot supply continued tight, stainless steel pipe prices will be more reasonable.
Universal tube plant to give the buffer time, both to boost the single intention, but also to allow downstream to adapt to the idea of price increases.
Only the current northern flood, the South heat, but also to the market has withstood the test.
