The main exporter of raw materials is Australia – 646 million tons
Global exports of iron ore in January-September 2024 increased by 5% compared to the same period in 2023 – to 1.2 billion tons. This is evidenced by BigMint data.
The leading exporter of raw materials is Australia – 646 million tons (+2% y/y). Shipments of Australian mining companies increased due to the revival of demand from Southeast Asia and China.
Brazil exported 291 million tons of iron ore in 9 months, up 6% compared to January-September 2023. This was facilitated by an increase in capacity utilization and production by Vale – up to 242 million tons against 232 million tons a year earlier.
South Africa increased its ore shipments by 4% y/y – to 48 million tons, Canada – by 6% y/y, to 43 million tons, India – by 5% y/y, to 32 million tons, and Ukraine – by 111% y/y, to 27 million tons.
Ukrainian exports are marked by a significant increase amid a low comparison base, as well as an increase in raw material exports by domestic companies due to the opening of the sea export corridor.
Thus, global iron ore exports are likely to show moderate growth in 2024, as key global mining companies have maintained or even increased their production plans for the current year. In addition, World Steel sees some optimism about a potential recovery in global steel production in 2025, which will support demand for iron ore.
Global steel production in January-September 2024 decreased by 1.5% compared to the same period in 2023 to 1.39 billion tons. In the CIS+Ukraine region, the figure fell by 2.5% y/y – to 64.9 million tons. In particular, Ukraine increased steel production by 28.2% y/y over 9 months – to 5.88 million tons.
Classification of stainless steel pipes1. Classification by production method:
(1) Seamless tubes - cold drawn tubes, extruded tubes, cold rolled tubes.
(2) Welded pipe:
(a) Classification by process - gas shielded welded pipe, arc welded pipe, resistance welded pipe (high frequency, low frequency).
(b) According to welding seam - straight seam welded pipe, spiral welded pipe.
2. Classification according to cross-sectional shape: (1) circular steel pipe; (2) rectangular pipe.
Spiral steel pipe stacking requirements1. The principle requirement for stacking spiral steel pipes is to stack them according to types and specifications on the premise of ensuring stable stacking and ensuring safety. Different types of materials should be stacked separately to prevent confusion and mutual erosion;
Difference Between Straight Seam Steel Pipe and Spiral Steel Pipe
Advantages of Using Carbon Steel in ConstructionSteel is an alloy metal, which means it’s a combination of several types of elements. In the case of steel, this is a combination of iron, carbon, and trace elements. It has a number of advantages for construction applications due to the fact that it’s fairly inexpensive to manufacture and has a very high tensile strength.
What determines the type of steel is the ratio of elements used to produce it, and it’s the magic formula of the carbon steel alloy created that makes it preferred for many projects. While there are thousands of different types of steel, these types are generally bucketed into four categories: carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and tool steel.- Anti-corrosion steel pipe classificationPN8710 anti-corrosion
When there are many types of corrosive media in steel pipes, such as acids, alkalis, salts, oxidants and water vapor, the coating must be chemically inert and resistant to acid, alkali and salt corrosion. The coating film should have a dense structure, good waterproof permeability and strong adhesion. , tough and plump. In this case, IPN8710 anti-corrosion is suitable. 
Global crude steel production fell 4.3% year-on-year in MarchOn April 23, the World Steel Association (WSA) released global crude steel production data for March. In March, crude steel output in the world's 71 countries and regions included in the statistics was 161.2 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 4.3%. In the first quarter of this year, crude steel output in the world's 71 countries and regions included in the statistics was 469 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 0.5%.
