Steel Output Increased Due to Price Rise
In October 2013, the output of global crude steel raised by 6.6%, reached 134 million MT. Steel prices have recovered from a three-year low hit in June, pushing some steel mills to increase capacity utilization. Based on the latest info from the World Steel Association on Wednesday, the steel production of China and others main steel producing regions strongly increased last month. Authority data shows that steel output in China, the top producer and consumer of the alloy rose 9.2% to 65.1 million MT. Asian output gained 8%, also helped by higher production in Japan, the world's second-largest steel producer. Europe as the second -largest producing regions, obtains a growth of 4%, and North America, third-largest producing area, increased by 6.6%.
Tin Free Steel Coil / Sheet
Characteristics of Tin Free Steel Coil / Tin Free Steel Sheet
Appearance: Even when the same surface finish as ETP is applied to the substrate steel sheet, it provides the unique surface luster characteristic of metallic chromium.
Corrosion resistance: As it has excellent corrosion resistance after painting, it is generally used with both surfaces painted. It can also be used with the internal surface unpainted, depending on the contents.
Electrolytic Chromium Coated Steel
Electrolytic Chromium Coated Steel, or known as Tin Free Steel (TFS) is a kind of commonly alternative material of tinplate. TFS are frequently used for can tops, screw and lug caps, snap and press-on closures and shallow-drawn food cans.
The main features of Electrolytic Chromium Coated Steel is as following:
Excellent paint adhesion: TFS has excellent paint adhesion properties that far surpass those of ETP, allowing its use for making DRD cans and adhesive bonded cans.
