Nucor seeks permit to build Louisiana plant.
Company aims to control raw materials sources with new pig iron facility.
Steel recycling giant Nucor Corp. plans to invest at least $2 billion in a new Louisiana pig iron facility that could create up to 750 manufacturing jobs pending state permit and company board approval, the company said May 15.
If approved, the facility would be located in St. James Parish, about halfway between New Orleans and Baton Rouge on the Mississippi River. The company plans to build the plant in two phases, with the second phase costing an additional $1 billion to construct a 3-million-ton blast furnace. Nucor also would build a new high-capacity port on the river capable of handling ocean vessels and coal and pig iron barges.

US: House authorizes use of cheaper metals in coins |

The price of a penny stirs calls for steel.
WASHINGTON - The House has voted to bring back the steel penny, saying it would be cheaper to make. Currently, the government loses money on every one-cent coin it makes because of rising metal prices.
The bill would direct the Mint to begin producing, within nine months, pennies made out of copper-plated steel - not the zinc-copper alloy currently used. The measure also recommends the phasing in of steel nickels over the next two years.

Chavez threatens to expropriate steel maker Sidor.
By CHRISTOPHER TOOTHAKER
President Hugo Chavez threatened on Sunday to expropriate Venezuela's largest steel maker due to what he said are the soon-to-be-nationalized company's excessive compensation demands.
Chavez said he could not help but laugh when he heard that Sidor's parent company, Luxembourg-based Ternium SA, is asking for at least US$4 billion (euro2.56 billion) in compensation for its 60 percent stake in Sidor.

Copper to evade large price drops in next 2 years.
Copper prices will evade large drops in price for the next two years or even longer because of supply disruptions and delays to planned projects, Macquarie said in a report Monday.
Aside from disruptions because of strikes and maintenance at operations running at or close to capacity, increasing government demands for higher royalties and profit taxes or greater stakes in projects are hampering development in many areas, the bank said.

China's steel exports up 1.05 mln tons in March.
China's steel exports in March surged 1.05 million tons month-on-month to 4.16 million tons, driven by the widening price gap between domestic and international markets, which extends to US$100 to US$200 per ton.
The exports in March were also boosted by the undelivered goods in the previous month and the tax rebate abolition for the exported energy-consuming goods was beginning to pay off, according to industry expert Xu Xiangchun, who expected more tightening policies to put out if monthly exports surpass 400 tons.

PROMILLS: Rolls and modular Rolling Cassettes for all application and for all wire drawing lines. |

PROMILLS: Rolls and modular Rolling Cassettes for all application and for all wire drawing lines.
Since many years the rolling cassettes have been introduced in the wire plants. Today they are commonly used for a wide range of applications. They often allow either to overpass the limits of the classic die wire drawing or to suit new products through new methods. Even though the purpose is always the cold shaping of the metallic wire sections, they use rolls instead of classic dies.
Despite of the exceptions that could be moved around the use of the rollling cassettes, it is undeniable they represent now a reality together with and the advantages that can be drawn.
In this context, the italian company PROMILLS specializing in the cold shaping of the metallic wire sections and thanks to a multi-decennial experience in the field of the cold roll forming and drawing process, has developped and set-up a design system that allows to obtain a very wide range of rolling cassettes by using just a few standardized components.
PROMILLS trough his MODULAR SYSTEM is able since several years to fit into either old or brand new drawing lines the right standard or upon request rolling cassette. Up today more than 50 models of standard or special rolling cassettes have been put in operation and we can estimate that under the same system it is possible to built up more than hundred different standard models or configurations (theoretically 361 excluded special models).
In the light of what above it is quite sure that it is possible to operate in order to build a sequence of rolling groups to suit any kind of wire profile within a range of round equivalent diameters of 1-16 mm.
Each rolling cassette is made of 1 or 2 groups of rolls. Each group can have 2, 3 or 4 rolls within an range of outer diameter from 80 to 210 mm. The following table shows some possible combinations of homogeneous rolling groups:
