Stainless production declines further

According to the preliminary figures released by the International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF), stainless steel crude steel production has decreased in the first half of 2008 by 1.8% compared to the same period of 2007.

Stainless production grows

The International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF) expects that stainless crude steel production in 2007 will be higher than the record-level of production in 2006, mostly driven by recovery from 2005 and some restocking.

SS production highest level in first quarter of 20

The International Stainless Steel Forum has announced that world stainless crude steel production in the first quarter of 2006 stood at 6.6 million metric tons (mmt).

Stainless production declines

The International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF) has announced that stainless crude steel production for the first nine months of 2005 was 18.4 million metric tons (mmt).

ISSF increases activities

The International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF) (Finland) has decided to increase its activities in the area of stainless steel long products.

Stainless growth exceeds expectation

World stainless steel production reached 24.6 million metric tonnes (mmt) for the full year 2004, according to the International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF).

Switching stainless grades can be difficult

Since the price of nickel doubled there has been much talk of substitution – using nickel-free or low-nickel grades of stainless instead of type 304 and other austenitics.

Stainless Steel growth to continue

The International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF) is forecasting another year of growth for global stainless steel production.

Stainless production rises 10.4%

Production of stainless crude steel grew by 10.4% in 2003, according to a report by the International Stainless Steel Forum.
