According to Mysteel research, in July 2021, China's 32 domestic stainless steel plants produced 2,842,200 tons of crude steel, a decrease of 0.99% month-on-month and an increase of 4.22% year-on-year; of which, the output of the 200 series was 816,900 tons, a month-on-month decrease of 2.67% and a year-on-year decrease of 4.73%. The 300 series was 1.5205 million tons, a decrease of 0.71% month-on-month and an increase of 7.34% year-on-year; the 400 series was 504,800 tons, a month-on-month increase of 0.96% and an increase of 11.39% year-on-year. Among them, the output of 300 series 304 in July was 1.3427 million tons, down 1.81% month-on-month, accounting for 88.31% of the 300 series output, and the output of 316 and 316L was 123,400 tons, a year-on-year increase of 17.75%, accounting for 8.12% of the 300 series.
China's domestic stainless steel crude steel output in July was lower than the scheduled output at the beginning of the month. On the one hand, some steel mills have reduced production, mainly due to the Guangxi steel mill; on the other hand, due to factors such as typhoon weather or environmental inspections, some steel mills have created short-term plans. Production was stopped outside; in the end, due to the tight supply of raw materials, some steel mills were unable to maintain high-load production through raw material preparation.
In August 2021, China’s 32 domestic stainless steel plants are expected to produce 2.761 million tons of crude steel, a decrease of 2.86% from the previous month and 0.49% year-on-year; among them, the 200 series is 832,600 tons, an increase of 1.92% from the previous month, and the 300 series is 1,497,400 tons, an increase from the previous month. . Reduced by 1.52%, the 400 series is 431,000 tons, which is expected to decrease by 14.62% from the previous month. Among them, the output of 300 series 304 in August was 1.319 million tons, which is expected to decrease by 1.77% from the previous month. The output of 316 and 316L was 114,000 tons, a decrease of 7.62% from the previous month.
In August, China's domestic stainless steel crude steel production progress continued to decline month-on-month. Although Jinhui and other discontinued steel mills have resumed production, Guangxi's electricity curtailment has been upgraded again, and a large steel mill in southern China will significantly reduce production (involving steelmaking, hot rolling, and cold rolling). Rolling), some steel mills have difficulty in purchasing raw materials and cannot maintain high-load production. In addition, Dongte’s August maintenance will also affect part of the output.
In July 2021, Indonesia's stainless steel crude steel output was 460,000 tons (300 series), an increase of 6.98 month-on-month and a year-on-year increase of 104.44%.
In August 2021, Indonesia's stainless steel crude steel production was scheduled to be 460,000 tons (300 series), which is expected to be the same month-on-month, an increase of 84.00% year-on-year.
