After years of development, China has become the world's steel output power. However, crude steel output hit new high in the occasion, troubled years of China's steel industry with low value-added, low margin of chronic disease is always lingering. Into the "five", the steel industry has also ushered in the transformation opportunities. According to authoritative sources, the upcoming release of iron and steel industry,DU bushing "second Five Year Plan" is one of the core guiding principle to the restructuring, transformation and upgrading of the main direction, to expand high-performance steel products, while also extending and strengthening the steel industry chain downstream coordinated development. Obviously, the higher value-added steel industry development path in line with the long-term trends. However, there was high hopes for how to develop high-performance steel? How to promote? Can help the entire industry out of the doldrums? Puzzles also have to be a positive solution.
Mould guide plate Restructuring is imminent
China's steel industry in the "Eleventh Five-Year" period to achieve the rapid development of national crude steel output in 2010 has exceeded 600 million tons in 2011 exceeded 700 million tons is moving in direction. When faced with the traditional low value-added steel production capacity,plasic bushing the bottleneck of high-energy, will have been eliminated when large-scale, high-performance steel products has become the industry break resources, environment and energy shackles, variety and restructuring to achieve a breakthrough.
Not only is the "plain bearing five-second" new high-performance steel as a material planning policy priorities will be to support one of the species, the steel industry in the forthcoming "second Five-Year Plan", the development of high performance steel is a top priority.
brass bushing Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Director Tony Steel and Raw Materials Division rule the people said, "five" to promote the steel products during the first upgrade.cast bronze For the "towers" of steel products, mainly to enhance the quality and stability, and comprehensively promote the steel standard upgrade. For the "bronze bushing high performance" of steel products, focus on strengthening the application at the same time, to encourage companies to develop a small number of powerful high-end steel products, and support the development of special steel enterprises.
dry bushing It is understood that the state will through tax breaks, subsidies and other forms of support for major projects to support development of iron and steel enterprises, industrial research and development related facilities. More to industry estimates, financial support shared by business and government,sleeve bushing or up to several hundred billion dollars.
In fact,bushing the development and application of high-performance steel involves a number of industries, only from the perspective of the steel industry, high-performance steel and covered almost all varieties of steel in high-performance products.
China Steel Industry Association Deputy Secretary-General, chief analyst late Jingdong told China Securities Journal reporter, said, "Twelve Five Year Plan" mentioned in the high-performance steel, steel products mainly refer to the key, both using the "large a wide range of "species, such as high-performance steel, but also including some high-quality, high value-added steel products, such as automobile panels, gear steel, high speed train moving rail, axles, high-pressure boiler plate steel offshore platforms, oil steel, steel and other transportation, including a large number of special steel and special materials.
Only steel, for example, as early as this year's "iron and steel industry," second Five Year Plan "(Draft)", the focus has been specified direction will be of special steel high-speed rail, urban rail transport, marine engineering and offshore oil exploration, large ships and ships and special performance, energy saving cars, high voltage power grid and other high-end equipment manufacturing special steel.
Obviously, when China entered the industrialization in the late stage of development, the traditional "reinforced cement" the extensive investment has been gradually disappearing, the downstream traffic, machinery and other industries to high-end demand is driving the evolution of varieties of the steel industry restructuring and upgrade.
However, some high-end steel products, are faced with weak domestic production, still dependent on imports. "Some domestic varieties of steel greater than imports, domestic production can not meet demand." Some analysts pointed out that domestic steel production accounted for a large variety of common, some cold-rolled, galvanized, silicon and other species also rely on imports.
Overall, however, high-performance steel is long-term industry trends. After years of development, China's imports of steel products mainly rely less and less, but with high-performance steel production capacity of enterprises are still concentrated in a few large steel group. "Domestic companies can not produce a lot of high-end products, and some species there are about ten companies to produce, or even only one or two." Jingdong said later, like a car with a cold-rolled panel, only Baosteel, Anshan Iron and Steel , Wuhan Iron and Steel, Shougang Group to produce these companies, other companies have not reached this ability and level. Steel production is also concentrated in Shanghai Baoshan Iron and Steel, Dongbei Special Steel and other enterprises.
It is understood that Baosteel as China's leading steel companies, producing products for the automotive and shipbuilding, with high technological content and added value. Dongbei Special Steel is China's steel production, "large" in the mold steel, automotive gear steel, bearing steel, high temperature alloys and other areas to maintain a high market share. In addition, high-grade grain oriented silicon steel Wuhan Iron and Steel, Maanshan Iron and Steel's high-speed wheels steel, Anshan Iron and Steel tanker cargo tanks with corrosion-resistant Ship, TISCO's new high-strength stainless steel products with high technological content.
Upstream and downstream restructuring efforts need to
China's steel industry development is always accompanied by a variety of "contradiction": on the one hand, growth in crude steel production again and again, while steel prices are steadily declining profitability; the other hand, structural adjustment calls constantly, but the low-end products supply and demand is still booming. The reason for this situation, it can not simply blame the industry itself. As the epitome of industrial development, the steel industry to achieve transformation, must do without the upstream and downstream industries, "together."
At present, China's steel industry due to extensive development of overcapacity and irrational product mix and other issues have become increasingly prominent. In 2010, China's crude steel production exceeded 600 million tons, the world's total production accounted for more than 40%. According to estimates, of which crude steel production capacity of about 100 million tons of excess, especially the large number of low-end products flooding the market, the profitability of the steel prices have fallen sharply. Currently less than 10% of industry gross margin, the profitability of the national economy to become the lowest in the industry. This scale of production has been rising in stark contrast. More tangled, despite the steel industry has always stressed that the adjustment of product structure, but high value-added product development and production is still lagging behind, some varieties of domestic steel and special steel production capacity, still need to import large quantities.
The reason for such a variety of supply structure, and downstream supply and demand, national policy and macroeconomic changes are not unrelated, which is the output from the various varieties of steel will be able to glimpse on the changes in two. As the state has increased efforts in building affordable housing projects, plus the state has increased investment in irrigation and other measures, the relatively strong demand for long products, long products production in the first half grew by 14.97%. In contrast plate and strip the situation, as automotive consumption growth was inhibited significantly reduced demand growth plate, especially the demand for cold rolled products are not optimistic about the first half of the plate and strip production increased by only 9.34%.
In fact, small and medium enterprises is the production of construction steel long products such as the "main force", and in the state-assigned list of backward enterprises, SMEs accounted for the majority, which resulted in the elimination of backward and the contradictions between market demands . This also prompts us from one side, the downstream demand attention and guidance, is to achieve the smooth transformation of the steel industry an important factor.
Our country is in economic transition, ordinary steel demand will gradually slow down, cars, machinery, petroleum, electric power industry will drive growth in demand for high-end steel products. Therefore, the restructuring of steel industry products is the trend. In this context, the upstream and downstream industries to strengthen the joint even show its importance.
To solve this problem, the upstream and downstream to adjust the pace of the rhythm coordination is very important. At present, China, although some varieties of high value-added steel production capacity, but the downstream market demand is not fully open, or use the standard does not match, leading to promotion there is the difficulty. In addition, some industries rely mainly on the introduction of international cooperation or development, product design, the steel used to rely on foreign steel standard, allowing users to import foreign steel. Therefore, not only to achieve the transformation of the steel industry, steel industry, key downstream product upgrading and structural adjustment are also imminent.
Insight that, with the downstream steel industry trade associations and leading enterprises, end users, research institutes, etc. to promote the establishment of cooperation mechanisms, the establishment of high-performance steel materials, application and demonstration platform, upgrading product standards to strengthen steel, and steel designed to promote downstream specification, automatic upgrades, so that upstream and downstream to the joint development.
The same can not be ignored is that in the "five" to explore the development of high-performance steel varieties of the process, production, application and even cooperation among industry, can adopt policies to advance, but the source for development of the industry - technology innovation, they need to get down to business investment.
