From December last year, South Korea-based stainless steel producer, BNG Steel began to produce Japan’s JFE443CT, and since then the production capacity of 443CT has reached 1000tns per month. In addition, BNG Steel is also planning to manufacture a test of 445NF in July, which is developed by Posco. BNG Steel still purchases 443CT HR material from JFE, and its 443CT price is higher than JFE by USD 200/MT.
