Kobe Steel of Japan and Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) sign MOU for Comprehensive Strategic Collaboration

- No comments

5-Dec-2010
Japan’s biggest steel producer Kobe Steel and Indian public sector company, Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for comprehensive strategic collaboration covering technologies, projects and other areas. The MOU was signed by Mr. Hiroshi Sato of Kobe Steel and Mr. C. S. Verma of SAIL in the presence of Mr. P. K. Misra, Secretary (Steel) Government of India, and senior officials from Kobe Steel and SAIL on November 30, 2010 in Tokyo.
With India's steel industry and steel-related business showing remarkable growth and promising development for the future, Kobe Steel and SAIL intend to build a relationship of mutual benefit under the MOU. Both companies plan to form teams that will carry out collaborative work to lead to actual projects.
Kobe Steel and Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) have already begun a feasibility study for a joint venture that utilizes Kobe Steel's ITmk3® iron-making process. With reference to finished products, specific projects / studies will be undertaken to explore the possibility of producing high value products, such as
(1) Products for automobile,
(2) Products for nuclear power plants and conventional power plants such as forged material and tubing material,
(3) Special alloy steel and bars, and
(4) Stainless steel tube and/or any other product mutually agreed to between Kobe Steel and SAIL.
If Kobe Steel and / or SAIL have contractual agreements with other companies, the items covered under such agreements would not be considered in the MOU. It has been learnt that the companies are already working together to set up a 0.5 million tonne per annum (mtpa) steel plant at SAIL’s Durgapur Alloy Steel unit using Kobe’s patented ITmk3 technology and are currently doing a feasibility study to freeze the finer details of setting up the plant. Under the ITmk3 technology, unlike traditional steel manufacturing process which uses iron ore lumps, SAIL will be using iron ore fines. This process is less pollutant and uses a raw material which is otherwise wasted at the mouth of the iron ore mines. In fact, SAIL also has a JV with South Korea’s steel giant POSCO for a similar technology called ‘Finex’.
Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) is currently India’s biggest public sector steel company with an annualized capacity of 14 mtpa. The company has earmarked an investment of 600 billion INR for expansion and modernization of its plants and up its capacity to 23 mtpa by 2012. Kobe Steel, Japan has world-class technologies for producing high value-added steel products, but also raw material processing and iron unit production including pellets, direct reduced iron and the ITmk3® iron making process.

Tata Refractories Limited (TRL)
TRL has achieved the highest straight life of 99 heats in the LD-2 steel ladle of 160 MT capacity with Alumina Magnesia Carbon (AMC) bricks in the metal zone recently. It is reported that the erosion was quite uniform and the ladle was having potential to go up to 105 heats although, it was put down considering the risk factor associated to this.
In another instance, Tata Refractories Limited (TRL) achieved the highest life of 83 heats in SMS-1 ladle of SAIL’s (Steel Authority of India Ltd) Bokaro steel plant surpassing the previous best of 77 heats with its TATA FRT – 2 bricks. Following these achievements TRL congratulated Tata Steel LD-2 team and BSL Refractory and SMS-1 team of SAIL Bokaro for rendering all support.
Tata Refractories Limited (TRL) is the No. 1 refractory company in India with an annual production capacity of around 380000 MT. Its refractories works at Belpahar, Orissa is considered to be the largest among all single refractory producing units in the world. The company has a wide range of products having the ability to meet the refractories requirement for all type of industries.
Tata Refractories Limited (TRL) is the only Burnt Dolomite producing company in India and also happens to be the first refractories company to have Integrated Management System (IMS) certified encompassing ISO 9001 :2008, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007. 


Siemens to supply RH Vacuum Degassing Plant for Rourkela Steel Works

SAIL’s Modernization - Places order with SIEMENS
Siemens RH Vacuum Degassing Plant
RH Vacuum Degassing Plant
As a part of modernization and expansion program for its Rourkela Steel Works in Orissa, which is intended to increase raw steel production to around 4.2 million tons per year, SAIL (Steel Authority of India) has recently placed an order with Siemens VAI Metals Technologies to supply an RH vacuum degassing plant to RSP. The new plant will allow high-quality steel grades up to cold-rolled non-oriented types to be produced. The order is worth €10M. The RH plant is scheduled to come into operation by the middle of 2012.

The main functions of the RH degassing plant in the Rourkela Steel Works are the removal of hydrogen, forced decarburization and the chemical heating of the liquid steel. The liquid steel is treated under vacuum conditions with argon as lift gas for circulation of steel. Twenty-four heats can be treated per day, which amounts to a production capacity of about one million tons of liquid steel per annum. The Siemens RH plant has a capacity of 150 tons, and is designed as a Mono-block design vessel with welded snorkel tubes. The RH-vessel is raised and lowered by a winch system.

Rourkela Steel Plant was the first integrated steel plant in the public sector in India and also the first in Asia to adopt the LD technology.  This order is unique in the sense that it has re-started the relationship between Siemens VAI and RSP in bringing about further enhancement of technology for production of special grades of steel. A third BOF converter will be constructed in Steel Melting Shop II  with secondary steelmaking facilities – including the Siemens RH plant, and a continuous slab caster.
