According to Mysteel research, in February 2022, the crude steel output of 33 domestic stainless steel plants (including the newly added steel plant Jiangsu Zhongtuo) was 2.4128 million tons, with a month on month increase of 0.99% and a year-on-year decrease of 6.40%; Of which:

The output of 200 series was 710100 tons, with a month on month increase of 9.23% and a year-on-year decrease of 18.42%;

300 series 1224900 tons, with a month on month decrease of 3.61% and a year-on-year increase of 8.19%; 400 series 477800 tons, with a month on month increase of 2.03% and a year-on-year decrease of 16.93%.

Among the 300 Series in February, the output of 304 was 1079200 tons, a month on month decrease of 2.76%, a year-on-year increase of 8.23%, and the output of 316 and 316L was 88100 tons, a month on month decrease of 16.89%, a year-on-year increase of 3.89%.

In February, although some steel mills in Shandong, Henan and other regions reduced production due to the impact of the Winter Olympics, the steel mills resumed work quickly after the year, and the total output of domestic stainless steel crude steel increased month on month, mainly in the 200 series with better production profits; The chain ratio of 300 series decreased slightly, which was mainly reflected in the decline of 300 series output of Shanxi and Guangdong steel mills. Some steel mills said that the production profit was not ideal and the new orders received in February were poor; The yield of 400 lines changed little.

According to Mysteel research, in March 2022, the crude steel production schedule of 33 domestic stainless steel plants (including the new steel plant Jiangsu Zhongtuo) is planned to be 2.9061 million tons. It is expected that the monthly production schedule will increase by 20.4% and decrease by 3.3% year-on-year. In March, the domestic steel plants are basically in the normal production state. In addition, two new projects in Jiangsu have reached the production capacity one after another, and the output of three series will increase significantly month on month.

Of which:

2 million is 839300 tons, which is expected to increase by 18.2% month on month and decrease by 15.9% year-on-year;

3 series of 1.508 million tons, with an expected month on month increase of 23.1% and a year-on-year increase of 12.3%;

400 series 558800 tons, with an expected month on month increase of 17.0% and a year-on-year decrease of 15.7%.

In February, the crude steel output of 40 new caliber stainless steel plants (including Jiangsu Zhongtuo), a new steel plant, was 2.5148 million tons, with a month on month increase of 0.6%. Among them, 200 are 7500100 tons, with a month on month increase of 8.2%, 300 are 1284900 tons, with a month on month decrease of 3.5%, and 400 are 479800 tons, with a month on month increase of 1.1%.

In March, the crude steel production schedule of 40 new caliber stainless steel plants (including the new steel plant Jiangsu Zhongtuo) was planned to be 3091300 tons, with a month on month increase of 22.9%. Among them, 200 are 909300 tons, with a month on month increase of 21.2%, 300 are 1616200 tons, with a month on month increase of 25.8%, and 400 are 565800 tons, with a month on month increase of 17.9%.



In February 2022, the output of stainless steel crude steel in Indonesia was 344000 tons (300 Series), with a month on month decrease of 23.56% and a year-on-year increase of 4.24%, mainly reflected in the reduction of output in Qingshan, Indonesia. In March 2022, Indonesias crude stainless steel output was 430000 tons (300 Series), which is expected to increase by 25.0% month on month and 10.8% year-on-year.
