The situation of China cold rolled steel in March 2013

In February, in China, the market price of cold rolled coil to the rising main. February 28, China's major cities 1.0mm cold plate an average price of 4952 yuan (t), up 111 yuan from the end of January. Shanghai, Tianjin, Beijing 1.0mm Omo box board market price of 4860 yuan, 5050 yuan and 5100 yuan, or 170 yuan, 100 yuan and 100 yuan. The other second-tier market price or 60-170 yuan.

Cold rolled steel prices rise, there are mainly two reasons; the one hand, a further rise in steel prices cost more sturdy supporting role. Businesses hoard, on the other hand, a very few, limited resources, market liquidity, resulting in fewer cold-rolled steel products, but prices continue to grow. For Spring Festival is expected to once again good psychological fermentation postganglionic the inertial pull up the role, the pace of rising market prices before and after the Spring Festival has never stopped.

Specifically, the following prices up in February, the domestic large steel mills in the mainstream again blew the horn rose. Especially early in the New Year's Baosteel will surprise the first to raise the price policy in March after the holiday, other steel mills raised prices well ahead of preheating. Indeed, after the Chinese New Year, Shougang, Angang Steel new one price policy have to implement, the March cold rolled rises in 200-250 yuan. The Hebei steel of cold rolled steel producers will also follow the trend of price increases policy, the latter part of the cost of supporting a further consolidated. Just has not been started due to the the postganglionic downstream demand, the price after a space up Xuzhang power tends to weak businesses mainly changed to a stable and a wait-and-see, expected real market revitalization in about 3 months late.

On the other hand, during the Spring Festival market resources around the part arrival, but the arrival of relatively limited, only a few cities in the bulk arrival. Moreover, some steel mills busy exports, a decrease in the amount of domestic resources. However, businesses hoard goods, stocking seek and secure the relatively rare a large number Dongchu operations. Therefore, after the Spring Festival, the market resources is small there is a growing, but still at a low overall inventory. The salable few resources, support a certain price. But if the latter continue to add resources, demand start slow price "late spring" may only adjustment will be more limited. Late start gradually, demand and steel prices are expected to return to a rising channel.

According to the previous experience, each year, in March and April, is the the downstream demand gradually start of period. With the weather warming, the downstream procurement will gradually start to recover, and then one after another active this year, the pace of urbanization is a "policy year" downstream producers overall than last year's strong vitality, is a good cold rolled steel market. The overall market is expected to occur in March and April, a "peak", downstream needs to start in early March or significantly slow the true sense of the market recovery is a process, not small adjustments to exclude individual time period.

Choosing Most Reasonable Steel Coil for Yourself

Now the application of steel has a long history, with the development of advanced technology, there will be more and more iron and steel products are produced. In additon to frequently used steel pipe, steel tube, steel sheet, there is another steel product which is becoming wide to use, that is steel coil, because it is facilitate storage and transport, it has been widely used.

Steel coil, also called as rolled coil, is produced from hot rolled steel, cold roll forming. It is known that steel coil is convenient to store, transport and process, and there are lots of companies interested in it, such as you can easily process it into plate, strip, etc.

Generally speaking, steel coil is divided into hot rolled coil and cold rolled coil. Hot rolled coil is pre-recrystallization in the billet processed products. Cold rolled coil is a follow-up process of hot rolled coil and steel coil weight is usually around 15-30T. Besides, the general user does not have open-book device or the amount is limited. Therefore, follow-up coil processing industry will be promising.

Hot rolled coil is the beginning of rolling slab continuous casting slab or as raw material, the reheating furnace heating, high pressure water descaling into the roughing mill, roughing material by cutting head, tail, re-entering the finishing mill, the implementation of computer controlled rolling. The performance of hot rolled products is so good, such as high strength, good toughness, easy processing and good weldability molding, etc. Therefore, it is widely used in ships, cars, bridges, buildings, machinery, pressure vessels and other manufacturing industries.

In contrast, cold rolled coil is at room temperature directly into a certain thickness of the rolling roll with a rolling machine and rolled into the entire volume of the strip. Usually, it is used in in automobile manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, light industrial, civil and construction, etc.

In additon, there are many related products of steel coil, according to the different application, they all play a key role in production. For example, galvanized steel coil owns excellent corrosion resistance, paint, decoration and good formability, it is widely used in construction, household appliances, vehicles, container manufacturing, mechanical and electrical industry, to almost all areas related to basic necessities. In recent years, increasing demand for galvanized steel coil, production increased quickly in the United States, Japan and other steel producing countries, galvanized steel coil occupys a high proportion.

Certainly, there are all kinds of steel coil, like galvalume coil, PPGI, PPGL, etc. because of different fucnitons or featrues, they can be used different areas and play an important role.
