Steel pipe inventories remain high

The morning of February 22, the China iron and steel association conference held in the form of video conference information, introduces the current operation and problems facing the steel industry in our country, to respond to market concerns, called on relevant parties to objective analysis of changes in market supply and development of glass curtain wall systems; taking various measures to maintain the steel market stable is very important in the new situation. Luo tiejun, vice chairman of China iron and steel association, member of the epidemic response leading group and leader of the working group on market stability, chaired the meeting and answered questions from the media.

On the situation of downstream resumption of work and production, luo tiejun said, orderly promotion of resumption of work and production; to ensure the smooth operation of the economy and society is an important measure. what about the multispan greenhouse in the near future? At the meeting of the standing committee of the political bureau of the CPC central committee, it was pointed out that non-epidemic prevention and control in key areas should focus on accurate prevention and control at different levels, coordinate the prevention and control of the epidemic and the restoration of economic and social order, and point out the direction and requirements for all sectors of the country.
Thanks to the joint efforts of all parties, positive progress has been made in the resumption of work and production across the country. From a regional perspective, some large provinces (cities) with large economies, such as Guangdong, Jiangsu and Shanghai, have more than 50% of their steel pipe suppliers. From the perspective of industry, in the main steel industry, the manufacturing industry is better than the construction industry, it is understood that up to February 20, the construction industry is still low to resume work rate, but in the continuous recovery, the mechanical industry more than 60% of the rate, the automotive industry more than 85%, the ship industry more than 70%, light industry more than 50%.
Note: the long process of iron and steel metallurgy refers to the process of making steel from iron ore. Iron ore is first made into iron concentrate through the ore processing process and then further made into sinter or pellet; The process is roughly: “coking, sintering, pellet ore ~ blast furnace ~ converter ~ continuous casting ~ steel rolling” process, which is relative to the short process “scrap ~ electric furnace ~ continuous casting ~ steel rolling”. Up to February 21, the long process of iron and steel enterprises are basically maintaining production of mild steel tube, the production of construction steel mainly electric steel mills have been largely discontinued.
