Stainless Steel World would like tothank the members of the SteeringCommittee, who have selected thepaper presentations and compiled theconference programme for this year’sStainless Steel World Conference.Thanks to their dedication and commit-ment to the advancement of materialsscience technology and corrosion resist-ant alloys in particular, the Conference

Credit where credit is due

The workshop will deal with all commer-cial aspects of the supply- and demandside of the stainless steel industry. It willbe structured in 4 modules, which eachbegin with a presentation by MarkusMoll that will then be followed by anopen Q&A session with the audience.After Module 2 there is a networkingcoffee break. The workshop will bestructured as following:

1. Basics, Market Volumes and End-useSegments (30 min)Here we will discuss where we stand inthe recovery after the unprecedentedmarket decline of 2009. The discussionwill be specific to the main end-use seg-ments namely: process equipment, oiland gas, transportation, architectureand durable consumer goods. We willprovide a forecast for the stainless steelproduction 2010 and 2011 by region.

Further, we will provide market volumesof the most common long- and flat

With the successful 2008 Stainless SteelWorld Conference still in mind, JohnButterfield, Conference Director andEditor in Chief of the Stainless SteelWorld magazine is looking forward toorganizing the upcoming Stainless SteelWorld America Conference. “The funpart is to see people finding the infor-mation they were looking for, and atthe same time enjoying the goodatmosphere.

The Stainless Steel World network is ex-panding rapidly and I am pleased to seethat these dynamics will be nicely re-flected in this upcoming conference.”The globalization of informationexchange has changed considerably overthe last two years. While digital commu-nities, such as the online Stainless SteelWorld LinkedIn Group, have proven to bevery useful, face-to-face meetings likethis Conference remain excellent oppor-tunities to share valuable experience in a

product forms and show the biggestmarkets (countries) individually.We are increasingly experiencing aworld of 2 speeds. Europe, North Ameri-ca and the mature markets of Asia(Japan, Taiwan, S. Korea) have been par-ticularly hard hit by the global crises. Wewill discuss in which market segmentswe still see growth potentials in Europeand North America.

Emerging markets, especially China willsteam ahead with their rapid deve-lopment. We will discuss what stainlessdemand we expect in these countriesuntil 2020. When will China show signsof saturation? Where can India followthe ‘China Miracle’ and where not? Whyis Russia such an underperforming mar-ket?

2. Producers, Technology and ProductionCosts (20 min)

Here we will introduce the top 15 stain-less steel flat- and top 25 long productmills and discuss their ongoing invest-ment programs. A special analysis willfocus on production technologyadvances that have enhanced quality,but also productivity and thus, loweringthe production costs.We will discuss the key cost differences(raw material mix, yields, labour costs,energy, overheads, etc) that separateefficient- from inefficient producers.What efficiency potentials are still avail-able to enhance productivity and lowercosts? Are Chinese mills really cost lead-ers?

3.Pricing, Raw Materials & Substitution(20 min)By the end of 2010, stainless steel pricescould have again virtually doubled com-pared to 2009. Although it has been ashortage of stainless steel scrap that trig-gered the 2010 price rally, the nickel

market is still the single most importantprice parameter in stainless steel. Butalso chromium and iron are putting anupward pressure on prices. We will dis-cuss the status of the nickel market andthe role of the LME and discuss futuresupply and demand issues also for Cr andMo.

A special focus will be put on the reactionof consumers to the recent prices fluctua-tions. We will show the stage of the sub-stitution process and provide a realisticfuture scenario for 300-, 400-, 200- andDuplex stainless steels.

4. Focus on China and other relevantFuture Trends (30 min)Here we will provide a summary of ongo-ing capacity expansion projects in Chinaand elsewhere in the stainless steel indus-try as well as a demand outlook to 2015.We visited 50 integrated (with a melt-shop) Chinese stainless steel producers in2009, most of them privately owned. Wewill summarize their already importantrole in the Chinese market but increasing-ly also in export markets.

Are protectionist measures (anti-dum-ping) the only ‘weapon’ to keep Chinesemills at bay? What stainless steel products‘Made in China’ will penetrate marketsaround the globe?

Finally we will discuss long term marketdrivers that constitute a growth oppor-tunity – or risk – to the stainless steel mar-ket. Technology changes e.g. in powergeneration, transportation or food pro-cessing will be discussed.

Where can stainless steels realistically winmarkets from substitutes like galvanizedsteels, coated steels and aluminium?Where does market development makesense?

To widen your potential network of CRAexperts, we have worked hard to in-tensify our relationships with recog-nized institutes and associations aroundthe world. The Steel Tank Institute/SteelPlate Fabricators Association, to nameone, will be present as a befriendedorganisation at this conference. Anoth-er institute we are closely working toge-ther with is the Materials TechnologyInstitute. The third day of this conferen-ce, the MTI-SSW Cost Control Seminar, iseven a joint cooperation between theMaterials Technology Institute andStainless Steel World. All for the best ofour members, so that you get the mostinformation out of your travellingbudget…

This year, theSteering Commit-tee was pleasant-ly surprised by therecord number ofabstracts sent in,and more impor-tantly, by the quality of the abstracts,which is even higher than in 2008. In nameof the Steering Committee, I would like tothank all the authors for their time andwillingness to participate, since their inputforms the heart of our conference.” TheSteering Committee itself has done atremendous job as well, providing an enduser context to the abstracts, definingsolution oriented sessions, and taking upthe roles of chairs and moderators. Thanksagain for all your hard work and yourheart for this matter. All in all we are head-ing for a conference that will challenge,educate, and entertain the Stainless SteelWorld attendees. I am looking forward tomeeting you there!

Meet the steering commiteeBob Hurst is a Corrosion Materials Engineerworking out of Houston, Texas, USA forShell Projects and Technology.He is no newcomer tothis business since hehas been earning hisliving in the chemi-cal/petrochemical in-dustry for over thirtyyears and has built upa vast amount of ex-perience about corro-sion there. Trendsthat he predicts willtake place for thefuture are the continuing effort to achievecost reduction in industrial processes –theneed for this being brought about by everincreasing globalized, international compe-tition. As a result, greater emphasis is beingplaced upon reliability and life-cycle costsrather than on the initial costs of installa-tion, and on the environmental trendstowards cost reduction. Bob Hurst: “Thecatch phrases are ‘sustainability’ and ‘envi-ronmentally’, I don’t want to use the wordenvironmentally-friendly’. Perhaps a betterwording would be ‘low-impact environmen-tal processes’ ”. The biggest challenge thathe envisions in the coming years working asa corrosion engineer is cost, and in particu-lar trying to combat what will be the highcost of raw materials, and in minimisingthese to the greatest extent possible. Hejoined the Stainless Steel World 2010 Amer-ica Steering Committee to bring into playhis knowledge about corrosion-resistantalloys, particularly stainless steels in connec-tion with reliability of equipment and lifecy-cle costs. These themes he sees as being verymuch intertwined. He would therefore liketo take the opportunity to bring a greaterawareness to the ‘user’ audience at the con-ference of where stainless steels are rightnow, and where they are going to be goingin the future.

Denny Lee is the Deputy General Managerof the Zhejiang Jiuli Hi-Tech Metals Co., Ltd.He graduated fromthe Zhejiang Universi-ty of Technology witha Bachelor's degree inForeign Trade andjoined the Jiuli Groupin 1999 where he gotinvolved with stain-less steel pipes &tubes industry despitehaving a lack of back-ground knowledge in this field. As a man-ager he went on to earn MBA and EMBAdegrees. He has now been with the compa-ny for ten years in sales. Of them he says“we have proven our ability to provide pro-fessional pipe and tube solutions for proj-ects right across the world”.With regards to trends in stainless steelpipes and tubes, Denny says that “the indus-try has rapidly increased in scale in recentyears. This fast growing market providesexcellent opportunities for manufacturersbut at the same time it has led to the inten-sification of competition. In order to do wellall competing parties need to keep apacewith technological developments in the

global market arena.” In addition he notesthat the demand for special materials isexpected to increase considerably in thenext few years. “We must prepare well tomeet this need so that we can benefit fromfuture growth”.When talking about the challenges result-ing from the devastating effects of therecent economic recession Denny says: “”AtZhejiang Jiuli we are concentrating on pro-ducing high quality pipes/tubes in an evenmore cost effective way to increase ourshare in today's marketplace. We have alsoextended our product program in terms ofmaterials, sizes, and applications”. His inter-est to join the Stainless Steel World 2010America Steering Committee stems fromthe fact that he believes that it will be a tru-ly international, high quality event. It will,moreover, provide a perfect opportunity tomeet professional peers from all over theworld and learn from them. “We can allbenefit from putting together an excitingand challenging programs with high qualitypresentations. New ideas are capable ofbringing a technological explosion to thestainless steel industry so this involvementfor me is really fantastic”.

María José Landeira ØstergårdHaldor TopsøeMaría José LandeiraØstergård, SeniorMaterials Specialist atthe catalyst producerHaldor Topsøe, has aMasters degree inphysical chemistryfromMadrid Autóno-ma University and aPhD in Metallurgyand Corrosion fromthe Technical Uni-versity of Denmark. Following three years ofpost-doctoral work in the field of solidoxide fuel cells, she worked for the interna-tional cement factory manufacturer F.L.Smith before joining Haldor Topsøe in 2001.“The main trend I have seen in the industryis that the environments we are working inhave become increasingly aggressive,requiring us to increase the protectionoffered by materials to save energy, reducethe amount of emissions and make plantsmore efficient and environmentally friendly.Whenever a corrosion issue is resolved theenvironment is pushed further in terms of,for instance, heavier feedstocks, higheracidity levels, higher sulphur or chloridecontents, lower steam/carbon ratios. Thisrequires new solutions and new materials,or new material combinations,” says MsØstergård.“One of the main challenges facing theindustry that I see is experienced engineersretiring without having the time to trainthe next generation There is a growingneed for technology expertise and the lev-el of the technical service provide to cus-tomers increases continuously. Whileyoung engineers enter this world with rap-id access to huge amounts of informationthrough the internet, they may have trou-ble selecting the reliable and appropriateinformation for the task at hand.” Havingbeen asked to join the Stainless Steel

The Conference World America steering committee, MsØstergård accepted what she saw as aninteresting challenge. “I knew the steeringcommittee would be a group of very tal-ented people and that it would be aninteresting experience. I could provide tothe group my analytical capabilities andexperience organizing meetings togetherwith my knowledge and expertise withinmetallurgy and corrosion. And I am sure Iwill enjoy working in this very talentedgroup”.“At this year’s event I want to help ensurethat we once again have top quality paperswhich are not only interesting for my com-pany but for the industry as a whole.”

Eduardo GomesSandvik Materials TechnologyWith both a BSc inmetallurgical engi-neering and MSc ma-terials engineering,Mr Gomes joinedSandvik MaterialsTechnology 15 yearsago and has workedin Brazil, the com-pany’s main produc-tion and head-quarter in Sweden,and the USA. He currently fills the role ofBusiness Development Manager for theAmericas region. “My experience is mainlyrelated to stainless steels and corrosionresistant alloys (CRAs). I have worked withtechnical sales and marketing, productmanagement and leading projects., alwaysin close contact with our customers and theindustry, discussing the application of ourmaterials and solutions based on materialsthat we either had, were developing orintroducing into the market,” he explains.“The main segments I’ve worked with havebeen the oil & gas, energy and chemicalprocess industries. When it comes to theuse of stainless steels in these segments wehave seen increased attention to life cyclecosts and reliability, coupled to demand onmanufacturing methods that can provide agood return on the investments in specialmaterials. In recent years sustainability andenvironmental concerns have come intothe equation as leading companies con-sider the impact of their material’s choicesand how they are manufactured to theenvironment. I’m looking forward to fol-lowing these trends at the Stainless SteelWorld America event; it’s an interestinglocation for this discussion to take place.”The question of achieving effective ma-terial selection with the right quality level,keeping down costs with efficient manu-facturing methods, while observing theoverall impact of the materials on the envi-ronment remains a challenge for the stain-less steel industry, says Mr Gomes.

Poul-Erik Arnvig, VP Market DevelopmentNorth America, Outokumpu“I see an increasingrole for the specialtystainless steels in de-manding applicati-ons. This demand willcome especially fromoil & gas, energy(especially nuclear),environmental clean-ing equipment (suchas FGDs) and waterdistribution. “A clear

trend is the increasing demand for theduplex grades. While the duplex gradeshave not yet penetrated the US market tothe same extent as other markets, there hasbeen a very strong upsurge of interest inthe last three to five years. This interest heldfirm even during the recession, and nowthat there are signs of recovery, I am con-vinced that duplex use will explode in theUnited States. Some end users still need toget comfortable with duplex grades, but Iam sure this is only a matter of time.“Apart from duplex, I believe we will alsosee a rejuvenation of interest in super-austenitic grades, such as 254 SMO®.”Asked why he agreed to join the SC, Poul-Erik told me: “SSW America always coversa broad range of topics, and I think it isimportant for our industry to promoteevents such as these where stainless steel isbeing treated from so many differentangles.” His biggest challenge at themoment? “Now that we are pulling out ofrecession, we need to predict which sectorswill lead the recovery. Knowing where tofocus our attention is extremely impor-tant.”

Mr Chak Wong, Bayer Technology ServicesUSA.For more than 20years, Mr Wong isworking in the chem-ical business and overthe years, he hasworked for severalchemical companies.“After my PhD, Ihave been workingfor two other compa-nies before I startedworking with Bayersome ten years ago. In all three companiesI have been working as materials and cor-rosion engineer.”Given all these years of experience, MrWong is able to identify easily the latesttrends within ‘his’ industry sector: “Ithink in general the chemical industrywill stabilize or perhaps shrink a little bitin the US over the coming years. Therewill be fewer investments in new plantsand capacity.” Asked whether he couldgive an explanation for this develop-ment, Mr Wong explains: “The reason isthat most of the new plants and facilitieswill be set up in the developing coun-tries, like China and India or in ‘rawmaterials countries’ such as the Arabiancountries in the Middle East and Brazilfor example.”These developments also have directimpact on Mr Wong’s work. “What wewill experience is that material will getolder and that it will the big challengefor the coming years to deal with thesecorrosion and material issues evenmore.” That is also the reason why MrWong became a member of the StainlessSteel World 2010 America Conference. Hebelieves that “the event brings materialsand corrosion engineers from variousindustries such as chemical, petrochemi-cal, oil & gas, power generation, etc.,together and to give them a platform fordiscussions and exchange of experiencesand ideas. And together with the Stain-less Steel World 2010 America Exhibition,the event enables everyone to get thelatest updates on new developments andnew products and not to forget the net-working aspect.”
