US Steel Company Will Temporarily Shut Down 3 Blast Furnaces

US Steel Company Will Temporarily Shut Down 3 Blast Furnaces

Beginning in 2018, the US government has been promoting the huge contribution of the steel-aluminum tariff policy introduced in March last year to the revitalization of the domestic steel industry. However, there have been different industry trends in the United States recently. US Steel Corp., one of the beneficiaries of the import tariff policy, announced that it would temporarily shut down two blast furnaces in the US and a blast furnace in Europe. The shutdown will continue until the market environment improves. As a professional manufacturer, Glory Steel could offer steel flat bar crane rail.
The decision was made at a time when US steel prices continued to fall, as there was widespread concern that new capacity that emerged in the next few years could lead to oversupply. After the implementation of the new steel and aluminum tariffs in the United States, several US steel mills have announced plans to expand capacity or restart existing projects, including Nucor Corp., Steel Dynamics Inc., and Commercial Metals Co. and US Steel.
“In the United States, our B2 blast furnace at Great Lakes last week has been scheduled to go out of service,” said the Pittsburgh-based US Steel Company. “Based on current market conditions, we expect the B2 blast furnace to remain closed after completion of the overhaul. In addition, we expect the Group’s Garry plant to temporarily shut down a Southern District blast furnace.”
To be sure, the tariff does provide an adrenaline-like development for the US steel industry. Nucor Steel and U.S. Steel, the largest US steelmakers, achieved significant profit growth in 2018. But in general, investors have reason to feel that they are being blinded. The S&P Supercomposite Steel Index, which covers 13 US steel companies, has fallen 29% in the past year, with US Steel’s share price falling by as much as 60%, ranking at the top among 13 sample companies list.

Principle of rail clamp design

Principle of rail clamp design rail clamp design The rail clamp design has several functional features: 1. Adjustability: The adjustable length is 15mm, and its adjustability functions include: (1) The rail presser is easy to install, saves time, and has high precision (2) The track can be adjusted if the structure of the support beam is slightly changed. 2. Anti-loosening: Under the action of the lateral force of the track, through the force analysis of the welding RTYB, a part of these lateral forces are transmitted to the bottom seat through the upper cover plate as the pressure of the bottom edge to seat on the upper cover plate. The other part is the lateral friction between the base and the upper cover. Since the wedge-shaped action between the base and the upper cover plate is converted into the tightening force of the bolts, it has an anti-loosening effect. 3. Self-locking: The three pieces are self-locking together through the interaction of the upper cover, the base, and the

What is rail creep

What is rail creep rail creep Rail creep is also known as line crawl. The creeping phenomenon of the rail along the longitudinal direction of the line. With the increase in railway transportation tasks, the impact of the wheels on the rails when the train is running accelerates the creep of the rails. Rail creep can cause many diseases of the line. In order to prevent the occurrence of track creep diseases, it is necessary to find out the real cause of creeping in order to effectively eliminate the problem. There are two different manifestations: the rails move along the soft sleeper surface due to insufficient fastening pressure of the fasteners; the longitudinal movement of the row is caused by insufficient ballast bed resistance. The reason for this is the longitudinal force of the rail caused by the wheel rolling and longitudinal slip, train braking, the change of rail temperature, and the creep caused by the deflection and deformation of the rail under the action of the wheel load
