Danieli Improves Productivity at SeAH Besteel EAF

South Korean special steel producer SeAH Besteel has contracted Danieli to increase the process efficiency for EAF 3 at the Gunsan meltshop. The steel quality targets indicated for this 100-ton electric furnace require the use of low-residual scrap, which results in very dense charge mixes. The need to avoid over-oxidation, thus to maximize process repeatability and steel quality, together with the target of maximizing arc stability and active power in the presence of high-density scrap, were the major reasons for selecting the Q-MELT technological package.

The installed Q-MELT consists of
Q-REG electrode control regulator
LINDARC real-time gas analysis, laser based, with closed-loop control of soft-blown oxygen during scrap melting
MELTMODEL for dynamic adaptation of oxygen flowrate setpoints during refining, according to bath oxidation levels

The results can be summarized as a 2% increase in average active power, a 2% reduction of electrical energy consumption, and a 15% standard-deviation decrease of oxygen content in the steel before tapping.

Huta Czestochowa Sale Remains Uncertain

Czech media reporte that third tender for sale of Huta Czestochowa could soon be announced, as no contract was concluded with the winner of the previous tender Sunning well Steel Polska after receiver did not receive PLN 220 million in payment by last week deadline of 2 months. Czestochowa steelworks trustee Mateusz Bienioszek, confirming this development, said that Sunningwell Steel Polska has applied to the court to extend the deadline for concluding the sales contract until November 30, 2020 and the final decision will be made by the judge-commissioner.

The management board of ISD Polska, the owner of Huta Czestochowa, filed for bankruptcy with the commercial court at the end of June 2019. On September 4, the court declared liquidation bankruptcy of the steelworks, dismissing two applications for the sale of the company in the pre-pack formula to Sunning well International Polska or Cor ween Investments.

In April 2020, the receiver announced a tender for the sale of the steelworks assets. The starting price was set at PLN 250 million. Eight entities applied for access to documents, which shows that the interest was high. Well, however, since nobody joined the tender in the end. In July, another tender was held, for which only one interested party applied, the company Sunning well Steel Polska. After the deadline for submitting applications, the offer of Corween Investments was also received along with applications for its recognition despite the expiry of the deadline. The judge commissioner dismissed these requests due to the lack of am legal basis. On 3 June 2020, in the absence of bids in the first tender, the receiver has filed at the Court the application for approval of the conditions of sale of the enterprise. By the Decision of 5 June 2020, the Judge-Commissioner has approved the tender conditions. On July 28th, 2020 the results of the tender for Huta were announced. At the court session, the trustee selected the only bid that was received on time and met all formal requirements, i.e. the bid filed by Sunning well Steel Polska SA.

Iron and Steel Technology Roadmap Laid by IEA

According to a recent International Energy Agency, Iron and Steel Technology Roadmap, steel is vital to modern economies and so over the coming decades global demand for steel is expected to grow to meet rising social and economic welfare needs. Meeting this demand presents challenges for the iron and steel sector as it seeks to plot a more sustainable pathway while remaining competitive. The sector is currently responsible for about 8% of global final energy demand and 7% of energy sector CO2 emissions (including process emissions). However, through innovation, low-carbon technology deployment and resource efficiency, iron and steel producers have a major opportunity to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, develop more sustainable products and enhance their competitiveness.

This report explores the technologies and strategies necessary for the iron and steel sector to pursue a pathway compatible with the IEA’s broader vision of a more sustainable energy sector. Considering both the challenges and the opportunities, it analyses the key technologies and processes that would enable substantial CO2 emission reductions in the sector. It also assesses the potential for resource efficiency, including increased reuse, recycling and demand reduction. Realising this more sustainable trajectory will require co-ordinated efforts from key stakeholders, including steel producers, governments, financial partners and the research community. As such, the publication concludes with an outline of priority actions, policies and milestones for these stakeholders to accelerate progress towards zero emissions from the iron and steel sector.

ArcelorMittal Europe to Produce Green Steel Starting in 2020

ArcelorMittal Europe announced details of the CO2 technology strategy that will enable it to offer its first green steel solutions to customers this year, 30,000 tonnes), scale up this offering in coming years to reach 120,000 tonnes in 2021 and 600,000 tonnes by 2022, deliver its 30% CO2 emissions target by 2030, and achieve net zero by 2050. The strategy is centred around two main technology routes, as introduced in the first ArcelorMittal Europe climate action report published earlier this year:
The use of hydrogen in DRI-EAF and, also, the blast furnace
The expansion of its Smart Carbon route, also utilising hydrogen

Hydrogen plays a central role in the company’s decarbonisation strategy. ArcelorMittal Europe is developing a series of industrial-scale hydrogen projects for use in blast furnace-based steelmaking that will start to deliver substantial CO2 emissions savings even within the next five years, as well as progressing a project to test the ability of hydrogen to reduce iron ore and form DRI on an industrial scale.

Ultimately to reach zero, this hydrogen will need to be ‘green’ (produced via electrolysis which is powered by renewable electricity). ArcelorMittal is therefore developing new facilities to produce green hydrogen using electrolysers. Teams at ArcelorMittal Bremen in Germany are working on the first large-scale deployment of this technology which can then be deployed in both the blast furnace and the DRI-EAF route. Previously, this emerging technology has only been tested at small pilot plants in Europe.

1. Hydrogen and the blast furnace

ArcelorMittal Bremen
By installing an electrolyser, hydrogen can be produced and injected in large volumes into the blast furnace tuyeres. The project will reduce the volumes of coal needed in the iron ore reduction process, thereby cutting CO2 emissions.

IGAR in Dunkirk
At ArcelorMittal Dunkirk, the company is developing a hybrid blast furnace process, which involves using DRI gas injection technology in the blast furnace shaft as well as using gas injection in the blast furnace tuyeres, using plasma technology to create a reducing gas. This is the first large-scale implementation of what is essentially a hybrid BF/DRI technology. In due course it will enable green hydrogen to be injected into the blast furnace as it becomes available.

Blast furnace injection across Flat Products sites
ArcelorMittal Europe is also implementing projects in almost all its Flat Products sites to use gases from different sources for blast furnace injection. Injecting hydrogen-rich coke oven gas is an efficient, cost effective method that allows steelmakers to reduce CO2 emissions now. ArcelorMittal Asturias has the most advanced coke oven gas project, with injection of grey hydrogen (hydrogen that has been recovered from gases including natural gas and coke oven gas) due to start in early 2021.

2. Hydrogen and DRI-EAF

Testing hydrogen to reduce iron ore and form DRI, at ArcelorMittal Hamburg
ArcelorMittal Europe owns Europe’s only DRI-EAF facility in Hamburg, where a project is planned to test the ability of hydrogen to reduce iron ore and form DRI on an industrial scale, as well as testing carbon-free DRI in the EAF steelmaking process.

Large-scale DRI plant being studied for Dunkirk
At ArcelorMittal Dunkirk a study has been launched to build a large-scale DRI plant, combined with an electric arc furnace. Initially, the DRI installation would use natural gas but ArcelorMittal’s unique experience in DRI production, together with the results of the DRI-hydrogen project in Hamburg mean the DRI installation will be fully ‘hydrogen-ready’.

SMART CARBON WITH HYDROGEN

Second Carbalyst plant planned, in Fos-sur-Mer; further CO2 cuts with large electrolyser for hydrogen injection ArcelorMittal is also planning to expand its use of the Smart Carbon technology route. At ArcelorMittal Fos-sur-Mer, France, a study is underway in collaboration with partner Lanzatech, to build a second Carbalyst plant in addition to the one under construction at ArcelorMittal Ghent in Belgium. This involves carbon capture from the blast furnace waste gas, and biologically converting it into ethanol for use as a biofuel or recycled carbon feedstock for the chemical industry. In parallel with the company’s electrolyser project in Bremen, the Carbalyst plant in Fos-sur-Mer will boost CO2 savings through hydrogen injection, supplied by a large-scale electrolyser that will produce the hydrogen locally from renewable electricity.

AM/NS India to Expand Hypermart Retail Chain to 50 Outlets

AM/NS India is relaunching and expanding Hypermart, its national network of retail outlets that serves India’s vast and vibrant MSME segment. AM/NS India aims to expand the network to 50 outlets by the end of next year. Hypermart is an integrated platform for retail, trade and last-mile sales of steel grades for MSMEs across areas such as fabricators, engineering goods and auto components. Hypermart gives manufacturers direct access to AM/NS India products that they are unable to source directly from steel mills. MSMEs also benefit from the platform’s customisation of orders and value-added products that have benefitted from the application of technology and innovation by ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel, the parent companies of AM/NS India. Hypermart offers new product lines, with improved ease, access, and convenience. With the MSME customer in mind, Hypermart is a one-stop destination to efficiently source a wide range of products.

AM/NS India has revamped Hypermart to support government efforts to revive the economy after the Covid-19 pandemic, with MSMEs’ resumption of activities a key element. Accordingly, AM/NS India has expanded Hypermart’s presence in key MSME hubs such as Hazira, Taloja, Mangalore, Ghaziabad, Hyderabad, Coimbatore, and Bengaluru. Hypermart will soon expand to other MSME hubs such as Ahmedabad, Ludhiana, and Jodhpur.

Hypermart contributes 20% of AM/NS India’s revenues, and this share is expected to rise to 30% with the expansion of the Hypermart network. As MSMEs continue to grow, easy availability of raw materials such as steel will strengthen demand and sustain growth as the Indian economy revives from the pandemic.

After years of thorough research, perseverance and strong customer relationships, ArcelorMittal’s Fortiform 980 GI has been selected as the sole source of 3rd generation advanced high-strength steel Gen 3/HF for the revitalized 2021 Ford Bronco. This sporty vehicle will be the first automobile in the world to incorporate this grade of steel, which is made at AM/NS Calvert in Alabama. Ford’s main objectives were to create a lightweight and safe vehicle and the company enlisted ArcelorMittal to achieve these critical goals.

ArcelorMittal’s co-engineering capabilities, which fostered the close collaboration between ArcelorMittal R&D and Ford’s design and welding experts played a pivotal role in this project. The R&D team also worked closely with the joint venture partners at AM/NS Calvert as the steel is made on their upgraded line.

It has been 50 years since a new model of the Ford Bronco hit the roads, but the automotive community is already giving the off-roading vehicle high marks. The sleek aesthetics of the vehicle, coupled with its ability to navigate difficult terrain, has been a big draw. In fact, there are already 150,000 preorders, despite the poor economy. Although a crash analysis has only been simulated on a computer, experts believe the 2021 Bronco could receive an IHSS Safety Pick+.

The expected production date is scheduled for February 2021 and the new Broncos will be available in showrooms beginning in Q2 2021.
