European Union's carbon tax may hurt metal imports, says GTRI report
According to a report released by the Global Trade Research Initiative, the European Union's (EU) Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will not only disrupt global trade but will also have a negligible impact on climate (GTRI). Electricity, fertiliser, hydrogen, and cement will also attract carbon tax. The CBAM will be implemented in four phases. A 27-month transition period will begin on October 1. Exporters will not be required to pay tax, but will be required to share information about the carbon content of aluminum, steel, and other covered products with... Read more...
2022 negative trends deepen despite economic resilience, steel demand to contract also in 2023
Apparent steel consumption is forecast to see a deeper-than-expected drop of -4.6% for 2022 (previously set at -3.5%). The outlook for 2023 also remains negative (-1.6%), paving the way for the fourth steel demand recession in five years. A modest recovery will be in sight in 2024 (+1.6%), though subject to high uncertainty. Despite a more general resilience of the EU economy, in the third quarter of 2022 apparent steel consumption reached its lowest level after the pandemic.   EU steel market overview In the third quarter of 2022, apparent...

Metals & Post-Processing: Corrosion-Resistant Options for Your Parts
The natural process of turning metals into undesirable compounds when they come into contact with corrosive fluids like water or air is known as corrosion.Corrosive environments change metals into their corresponding oxides, sulfides, and hydroxides (for example, iron rusts), which lead to damage and metal disintegration that begins with the exposed area of the metal and spreads to the entire metal. Option 1: Select from a range of popular corrosion-resistant metals. Stainless Steel A family of roughly 200 steel alloys with strong heat and corrosion resistance is known as stainless...
