World Metal Guide: Global trade integration is facing severe challenges, and coVID-19 is spreading around the world. What are the practical impacts of these changes on the steel industry chain?

How should companies respond

Wen-bo he: in recent years, trade protectionism looked up trade friction happened frequently, has brought the global economy since the beginning of the year a lot of uncertainty, the sudden outbreak of COVID - 19 spread around the world, make the weak global economy, but also serious impact on the global steel industry chain in the face of unprecedented huge impact, our country in the xi as the core under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee general secretary, push forward the epidemic prevention and control and the economic and social development work, increase the intensity of macroeconomic regulation and control, a series of policy measures, and made some progress

Outbreak period, most of the iron and steel enterprises in China to maintain the production AnQuanShun line 1 to April, 320 million tons of crude steel output in China, up 1.3% from a year earlier, as China's economy is worthy of the name "YaCangShi" but at the same time, construction machinery vehicles, such as home appliances downstream industry affected by the outbreak, the contract orders, starts a sharp fall in steel production growth and falling demand, coupled with limited transportation, cause the steel stocks have accumulated, historically highest level since march, as logistics open market, steel stocks have decline gradually

Overseas, the continued spread of the epidemic has severely impacted global supply chains and international trade. Many steel companies have been forced to cut production or even suspend production. According to the World Iron and Steel Association, the output of crude steel in 64 countries and regions from January to April was 580 million tons, down by 4.1% year-on-year.

Besides China's crude steel output of 260 million tons, down 9.9% year-on-year fall in steel production at the same time, in the first quarter of the world many benefits slashed even losses, iron and steel enterprise production and management in trouble tough market situation to the challenge of iron and steel enterprises in our country, but also brings the development opportunity hope iron and steel industry in our country firmly implement the party central committee decision deployment, insisted on the momentum of reform and opening up, adhere to the supply side structural reforms don't waver, make full use of the system in our country have advantage policy space market has the potential to industry based investment direction

The favorable conditions for targeted reform can maintain the stability of the steel market, enhance the profitability and anti-risk capability of enterprises, and enhance the internal driving force of enterprise development by relying on scientific and technological innovation, so as to find a way to effectively respond to the impact of the epidemic and accelerate the realization of transformation and upgrading of high-quality development.

You've been stressed, intelligent manufacturing green development two themes of the iron and steel industry is facing the future, treasure force in recent years angang shagang cultivation, and other enterprises has made remarkable achievements in the field of intelligent deployment according to the relevant state departments, information standards institute of metallurgy industry is starting intelligent manufacturing standard system construction of the steel industry, how do you think smart manufacturing standards leading role, the construction of the intelligent manufacturing standards should how to step up good, really play a leading role?

Wen-bo he: green manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing topics are the two major iron and steel industry development, is the only way for the development of iron and steel industry to achieve high quality in recent years, bao wu angang shagang cultivation in our country, and many other iron and steel enterprises in the field of intelligent manufacturing has carried out a lot of work, and achieved remarkable results, especially during the outbreak of COVID - 19, iron and steel enterprises in the field of intelligent manufacturing efforts to give full play to the role it should be said that smart manufacturing not only can promote the manufacturing to high value-added transformation and upgrading of the modern industry system with high efficiency, its itself also contains a series of new pattern of new forms of room to grow

Iron and steel enterprises will continue to intensify implementation of intelligent manufacturing, explore some replicable intelligent manufacturing model, which can be promoted to the overall level of China's steel enterprises to truly achieve the world first-class "" intelligent manufacturing standards, standardization is the important technology to realize intelligent manufacturing base, is the significant support of intelligent manufacturing efficient standard ground to guide current and future a period of time intelligent manufacturing iron and steel industry standardization work, solve the problem of lack of standard lag and so on, solid build meet the demand of iron and steel industry development

Advanced applicable intelligent manufacturing standard system, promote the iron and steel industry of the intelligent manufacturing level, to carry out the "accelerate the construction of manufacturing nation", the China iron and steel association information standards institute of metallurgy industry the national standardization technical committee of steel making intelligent manufacturing standard system construction of finished steel industry guide, and have been reported to the state department in charge of this is the top design the intelligent manufacturing standards of steel industry standards to do overall planning, accelerate the innovation technology achievements transformation;

Will fully carry out the steel industry basic standards of the common key technology applied standard research next, also in view of the current situation of the development of the future development trend of the iron and steel industry technology and industry application requirements, set up the iron and steel industry in stages of intelligent manufacturing standards system must carry on the extensive collection, with the help of the power of the industry leading experts, make full use of emerging technologies, such as 5 g, summing up the experience of the success of the promotion of enterprise standard system construction can better guidance to promote the iron and steel industry of intelligent manufacturing standardization work, give full play to the standard of leading role, drive the industry of the intelligent manufacturing level, promoting the development of high quality iron and steel industry

World metal guide newspaper reporter: this year's government work report, in the face of the external environment changes, to firmly expand opening to the outside world, stable industry chain supply chain, with an open andpromote reform and development in recent years, China's iron and steel enterprises in the "One Belt And One Road" construction progress was made in opening to the outside world cooperation, river steel steel, dedicated to buy the British steel how do you evaluate our country iron and steel enterprises "going out", in the process of internationalization should focus on to do a good job of what?

Wen-bo he: in 2013, xi jinping, general secretary of the proposed "One Belt And One Road" initiative, positive response to the iron and steel enterprises in China, and "One Belt And One Road" a lot of countries along the international cooperation capacity, opening to the outside world to make progress in cooperation in 2016, the steel has been seven years in a row of Serbia, may generation of ray mills, takes half a year has made its profitability;

On March 9, 2020, Hebei Dedicated Group acquired the troubled British Steel Company, and will invest 11.15 billion yuan in the next decade to improve the competitiveness of British steel companies and ensure the jobs of British steel workers.

On March 29, 2020, delong group qingshan steel with Indonesia moro wali industrial park, jointly owned south China metallurgical construction of Indonesia's steel no. 1 blast furnace iron, all put into production on the smooth implementation of the project fully demonstrates the Chinese steel industry as the dominant industry, is in the world in many aspects in the construction of technical management, have to go out, at the same time also shows that China's steel has the ability to make contributions to the world's iron and steel industry development, promote the development and progress of iron and steel industry and leading the world

This year the government work report, must firmly expand opening to the outside world, stable industry chain supply chain, with an open andpromote reform and development even though we face the external environment of increasingly complex and changeable, but it could not prevent the pace of Chinese steel to go out, could not prevent the development of Chinese iron and steel iron and steel industry to the world to make greater contributions in the process of internationalization, China's iron and steel enterprises should focus on the following several aspects

First, in terms of export of steel products, we must adhere to in order to meet the domestic demand is given priority to development strategy, at the same time of meet the demand of domestic steel consumption, steel exports to all over the world, and contribute to the development of the world economy in the future, in steel exports, should pay more attention to the steel quality, make China's iron and steel products with high quality brand image;

To increase the added value of products, to provide high-end steel products for downstream customers;

To improve service ability, build a strong relationship with end customers, so as to improve the international competitiveness of China's steel exports in the second place, in the international cooperation capacity, should pay attention to the fusion development to promote the iron and steel international cooperation capacity, promote transformation and upgrading of optimization of the global iron and steel industry in China layout high quality development, promoting cooperation in iron and steel technology and management level meet the needs of local economic development to the steel material, lead and improve steel global governance and realize the healthy and sustainable development of the iron and steel industry

In promoting international cooperation on steel production capacity, we should coordinate the relations in three aspects. First, we should coordinate foreign investment and steel export to stabilize The international market share of China's steel;

Secondly, domestic enterprises should coordinate to avoid vicious competition and go to sea together.

Three is to coordinate well with foreign governments and business relations of cooperation, completes the "localization", perform good companies "social responsibility", to achieve "win-win" and "multi-win" on March 22, 2017, under the guidance of the national development and reform commission, jointly by the China iron and steel association, domestic major steel and related enterprises and institutions to set up the "China international iron and steel industry capacity cooperation enterprise alliance" was formally established the alliance is to enterprises as the main body, service for the enterprise, the practice of "One Belt And One Road" initiative, and promote the iron and steel international cooperation capacity, to promote China and the world's iron and steel industry linkage equilibrium and inclusive development

As a member of the alliance, THE Metallurgical Industry Information Standards Research Institute should continue to do a good job in improving the technical management level of China's iron and steel brand products and provide good services for China's advantageous iron and steel enterprises in promoting internationalization

Third, make enterprise internationalization development strategy, to build international industrial chain "One Belt And One Road" launched the initiative, the enthusiasm of overseas investment to build China's steel enterprises to improve, but also met the challenges of the cultural environment and so on legal policy market, I think, on the one hand, the iron and steel enterprises in our country, especially the advantages of iron and steel enterprise, to further recognize that China's iron and steel industry development to today, is not only confined to the domestic competition, and to focus on in the world steel play a bigger role on the stage, the internationalization of science to develop your own actual development strategy, on the other hand, we should deeply understand innovation coordination

The connotation of green open sharing five development concept, in the development strategy under the guidance of enterprise internationalization, properly handle the relationship between the international competition and cooperation, and strive to build and depth into the international industrial chain, actively plotting a prudent move later, promote efficient allocation of resources ability in practice, promote industrial chain synergy innovation ability, promote international talent team construction of ability, so as to continue to enhance the international competitiveness of the fourth, in terms of standard lead, to promote Chinese steel standard internationalization

In recent years, with the advance of "One Belt And One Road" construction, our government pay more and more attention to work for a standard internationalization, required to take an active part in international and regional standards, increase the intensity of internationalization of Chinese standard promotion, to speed up the process of certification and accreditation international mutual recognition, improve the level of Chinese standard internationalization, for Chinese enterprises to "go out" to provide support and protection

Metallurgical standard in the field of international work has the good tradition, since 1978, when China's return to the international organization for standardization (ISO), the information standards institute of metallurgy industry in the national authorities and industry competent authorities shall, under the leadership of the organization to carry out standard internationalization activities actively, good results have been achieved in the future to cooperate with focus on product development, industry and enterprise technology innovation systematically proposed projects, particularly in the field of blank

Cross domain actively put forward standard project, apply for a new technical committee or working group, to take on more work, improving voice, meet the demand for standard of China's iron and steel enterprises in the process of internationalization in addition, iron and steel enterprises in the process of promoting the internationalization, the iron and steel association will actively build information and communication resources sharing platform, to strengthen bilateral and multilateral exchanges, to help steel mills and upstream and downstream industry chain enterprises win-win cooperation at the same time, efforts to create a better internal and external environment for enterprises go out of the world metal guide newspaper reporter:scrap metal shredder machine price in india imports of relevant work on May 22, import materials recycled steel standard held a kick-off meeting for the China iron and steel association, is the industry's strong support and actively participate in please talk about scrap steel import to our country iron and steel industry raw material resource guarantee what meaning is there?

Wen-bo he: iron and steel scrap from July 1, 2019 restrictive import category can be used as a raw material of solid wastes directory, since implementing the policy of our country scrap imports fell sharply in the second half of 2019, China's iron and steel scrap imports of 28600 tons, 81.62% less than the first half of the year due to the import of scrap steel resources is restricted, the downstream iron and steel enterprises, especially the short process production enterprises in a passive situation to change as soon as possible to scrap import restrictions, China iron and steel association, China association of iron and steel scrap application information standards institute of metallurgy industry etc, accelerate the regeneration of the iron and steel raw materials together

Standards related to import recycled steel raw material to the China iron and steel association standard start-up stage is the work progress of iron and steel association is actively promote scrap steel import work, mainly because of scrap steel resources to our country iron and steel industry raw materials resources security has important strategic significance first, scrap is not waste, scrap steel and iron ore, is indispensable to modern iron and steel industry the main iron materials, is also the only material can replace a large number of iron ore in 2019 China has reached 1.068 billion tons of iron ore imports, import dependence is 87.5%

China's iron ore external dependence is too high, the international iron ore resources  of monopoly in China's iron and steel enterprise cost is increased, the serious influence the steel manufacturing industry profits import scrap steel to ease import iron ore prices have a certain role in the second, scrap is renewable resources of energy saving can load, is green materials, use of scrap iron and steel industry energy conservation and emissions reduction is an important fulcrum through the rational allocation of resources, effective use of scrap steel production, to promote the industry to reduce carbon emissions, realize green development scrap metal shredder machine price in india along with our country social accumulation of scrap steel resources, the future of our country electric arc furnace short process will have larger development space, scrap steel resources consumption will have plenty of room to improve in the fourth, through standards, for the import of foreign high-quality high quality scrap, restrictive import scrap doping in impact on the environment and the production of pollutants, guarantee the high quality renewable scrap resources provide standard technical support scrap steel import by the industry high attention, iron and steel association is actively promoting scrap steel import related work,

The formulation of group standards for imported recycled iron and steel raw materials is the first step to promote this work. It is hoped that all relevant units and information standards Institute will work together to complete the scientific formulation of the standards
