Tenaris Data Science Team Deploys New Technologyto Improve Industrial Processes

Tenaris’s data science team has introduced a new technology in its IT infrastructure called Kubernetes to increase the deployment speed of applications, reduce errors in all operational processes and standardize the data science tools. The platform was rolled out during the lockdown due to COVID-19 by Tenaris’s data science team, based at the Dalmine, Italy, mill. The team’s main responsibility is to apply data science and machine learning to increase safety, quality and efficiency across industrial processes.

The first step was done in 2018, when the data science team started to leverage containerization for its workloads. Kubernetes allows having reproducible environments, where software and its dependencies can run in isolation, with a positive impact on security. However, they used to rely on time-consuming manual release cycles for deployments and updates.

Deployment time of a new release went from hours to minutes. With 14 nodes and 200+ pods, Tenaris’s data science team is now running 90% of its most critical workload through this platform, with no downtime since the infrastructure commissioning.

Tenaris is one of the only companies in the steel industry that has an in-house Industrial Innovation department, which the Data Science team is part of. Formed by 40 employees across Italy, Argentina, Mexico and the Netherlands, this team seeks to find innovative solutions to improve Tenaris’s industrial performance.

POSCO Cryogenic High Manganese Steel HMS for LNG Storage

POSCO has joined hands with ExxonMobil for the liquefied natural gas storage and fuel tank market. POSCO signed a business agreement with ExxonMobil RE in New Jersey, ExxonMobil URC in Texas, and the POSCO Technology Research Institute in Pohang accelerate application of cryogenic high manganese steel HMS to the LNG storage and transport market. Under the agreement, the two companies will apply HMS to overseas LNG projects and cooperate in developing technology to introduce HMS to the energy industry as a whole. POSCO will first push to apply HMS to storage tanks that will be built in global LNG projects ordered by ExxonMobil in the future.

HMS was first applied to Gwangyang LNG Storage Tank No 5, proving its performance and safety. HMS maintains excellent performance even in an cryogenic environment of minus 196 degrees Celsius. In terms of price, it is more competitive than nickel alloy steel currently used for LNG tanks.

In 2019, the Maritime Safety Committee of the International Maritime Organization approved interim guidelines on using HMS for cryogenic LNG storage and fuel tanks.

Briggs Automotive to Implement Niobium in BAC Mono

Briggs Automotive Company has been awarded funding by OLEV through the Niche Vehicle Network to undertake its latest Proof of Concept R&D project. BAC will use the grant to implement the use of nano element ‘Niobium’ in the structure of BAC Mono. A soft metal, Niobium is a naturally occurring, readily available, sustainable element that is ductile, malleable and highly resistant to corrosion. It effectively enhances the mechanical properties of alloy metals and has therefore been used in a wide range of applications in the aerospace, architecture and energy sectors. For BAC, Niobium will enhance the properties of the alloys used in the chassis and suspension systems of the Mono supercar. Using Niobium-enhanced alloys will mean less material will be needed to meet structural targets resulting in lighter weight.

After the successful completion of an OLEV Feasibility Study into the use of Niobium for automotive lightweighting, BAC will now prove the concept by developing and producing structural prototype systems. If successful, the next stage of the project will be implementing Niobium into full production.

Despite Niobium’s use in the likes of jet engines, rockets and in building structures, BAC’s project will be the first time that the element has been used in the supercar sector, with the potential for the innovation to be used elsewhere in the industry (including with zero emission vehicles) upon completion.

The project is sponsored by CBMM, world leader in the production and commercialisation of niobium products with customers in over 40 countries. In the automotive sector, the Brazilian company is most recently known as Founding Supplier of Extreme E racing, a new racing series that caught attention of people like Lewis Hamilton, and for its involvement in Formula E.

Philippines to Crackdown on Sub Standard Rebar Makers

Business Mirror reported that the Philippine Iron and Steel Institute has vowed to multiply test buy operations to report manufacturers and retailers slipping in substandard steel in the market by exploiting quarantine restrictions. Pisi will intensify its test buy operations to expose firms and retailers selling substandard steel to unsuspecting buyers. Likewise, the group will work with the DTI in enforcing laws on product standards.

Joel T. Ronquillo, vice president for technical affairs at Pisi, relayed to the Department of Trade and Industry the sale of substandard rebars in hardware stores in Central Luzon. Further, he alleged the products were made by Real Steel Corp. and Metrodragon Steel Corp, both of which are known to use induction furnace for steelmaking.

According to Pisi, samples from the test buys were sent to the Bureau of Philippine Standards. The agency then sent them to the Metals Industry Research and Development Center, of the Department of Science and Technology, for quality and safety evaluation. Citing MIRDC’s findings, Pisi argued the lug height and mass variation of the samples failed to conform with what the government requires to guarantee the integrity of a rebar.

Locweld to Manufacture Steel Transmission Towers

Locweld has been awarded a major contract by Hydro-Québec for the new Micoua-Saguenay 735 kV transmission line. Locweld, situated in Candiac in Québec, will require almost 20,000 tons of steel to manufacture the lattice transmission structures ordered by the Crown Corporation. Production has started and will continue through February 2022. The value of the contract is close to CAD50 million.

This contract award demonstrates the success of the recent collaboration between Locweld and Valmont MD Utility, a division of the American multinational Valmont MD Industries, a manufacturer and distributor of infrastructure products and services. The exclusive relationship with Valmont since December 2019 allows Locweld to increase its total annual production capacity to 90,000 tons, and to increase its competitive advantage.

The 735 kV Micoua-Saguenay transmission line extends for roughly 262 km between the Micoua substation in the Côte-Nord region and the Saguenay substation in the Saguenay – Lac-Saint-Jean region. The new transmission line will help to maintain the reliability of Hydro-Québec's transmission system. Reduced consumption in the Côte-Nord region and the shutdown of several thermal and nuclear generating stations in southern Québec have resulted in increased power flow along the lines in the Manic–Québec corridor towards the major load centers, making the new line necessary. The commissioning of the new line is scheduled for 2022.

ArcelorMittal Poland to Permanently Close Primary Operations at Krakow Plant

ArcelorMittal Poland announced that it intends to permanently close its primary steelmaking operations at its unit in Kraków. The shutdown process in the blast furnace and the steel shop will begin in October and will last a few weeks before the assets are permanently stopped. The blast furnace and steel shop in Kraków were temporarily idled in November 2019, as a result of the market downturn, coupled with large volumes of steel imports from outside the EU. Since then, the majority of the affected employees have been either redeployed to other ArcelorMittal Poland sites or since March 2020 and the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic put into temporary unemployment. These measures were taken when the longer-term outlook for steel demand was unclear.

The EU steel sector has been hit very hard by the pandemic, with all the steel-using industries reducing their activity, including temporary closures. As the macro-economic indicators now suggest, a fast recovery in steel demand is unlikely. ArcelorMittal Poland therefore had to take permanent measures in order to adapt to this lower demand.

In addition to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, a number of other structural issues have made the company’s activity economically unviable. They include:

The lack of emergency trade measures, coupled with the European Commission’s recent decision to further increase the quota of tariff-free steel imports from outside the EU, at a time when steel demand in Europe has fallen dramatically

High energy costs and the introduction of additional capacity market fees coming into force in January 2021

The lack of a level playing-field in terms of carbon costs between EU and non-EU steel producers; with Emissions Trading System costs continuously rising, and no Carbon Border Adjustment yet in place to equalise carbon costs, this is seriously eroding the competitiveness of European steelmakers

The cumulative impact of these structural issues is carbon leakage, when steelmaking moves outside Europe, to countries where producers are not subject to the ETS.

The coke plant in Krakow will continue to operate as well as the downstream operations (two rolling mills, the hot dip galvanizing line and the new organic coating line) in which the company has invested about PLN 500 m (EUR 110m) over the last five years.

The slabs for the rolling mills in Kraków will come mainly from the steel shop in Dabrowa Gornicza, where the company will invest PLN 180 m (EUR 40 m) in debottlenecking projects, and to produce special grades for further processing into grain-oriented steel.

Thyssenkrupp Opens Books for Due Delligence - Report

A top executive told Reuters that Thyssenkrupp has begun due diligence with potential bidders for its plant division as the German conglomerate accelerates a radical overhaul to sell or turn around ailing business units in the next two years. Mr Volkmar Dinstuhl, who heads up the group’s Multi-Tracks division, which houses businesses Thyssenkrupp no longer wants to own, and oversees the divestment of non-core assets, said the company has opened the books to buyers of its plant-building units and received expressions of interest for its stainless steel division. Outlining a timeline for restructuring, he said “Our goal is to find a solution for all our businesses within the next two years.”

Mr Dinstuhl said that Multi-Tracks, which accounts for about 6 billion euros in sales and was responsible for 400 million euros of negative cash flow in the 2018/19 fiscal year, will seek to sell, shut down or find partners for the 10 units it comprises.

The Essen, Germany-based company, which makes submarines, warships, steel and car parts, as well as equipment for cement factories, construction and fertiliser plants, is struggling to define what its core business is. Thyssenkrupp is also open to considering offers for its automotive and remaining industrial assets.
