heavy machinery industry demand for steel

"China Metallurgical News" reported that the heavy machinery industry drives the demand for steel, and the future market is huge.

    Whether at home or abroad, the heavy machinery industry is one of the main users of steel consumption. In recent years, my country has imported 4000-6000 excavators each year. According to forecasts, the entire mining machinery industry used 2.6 million tons of steel for steel structures in 2005, of which 25,000 loaders were produced annually, and each plate consumed only 13.35 tons, totaling about 330,000 tons of medium plates. The heavy machinery industry is used for hoisting machinery, casting equipment, various winches, flotation machines, shears, etc. It is estimated that the demand for steel plates in 2005 will be about 3 million tons, which are mainly medium and heavy plates, thin plates, Large and medium profiles, high-quality profiles; all kinds of cold-formed steel and special-shaped steel, especially favored by the machinery industry. Therefore, the special steel bars required for the development of new mechanical equipment in the machinery industry are extremely important.

    As the port has to adapt to the large-scale, professional and environmental protection requirements of ships, the performance of machinery needs to be improved, and the demand for machinery is huge. According to forecasts, in 2005, my country had 12 large-scale terminals with an annual throughput of 100 million tons, 40 with an annual throughput of 35 million tons, and 50 with an annual throughput of 1 million tons, all of which require modern machinery. Equipment not only consumes a lot of steel, but also has high requirements for steel quality.
