General Review Of Manganese Ferro-Alloys In 2009 And Its Outlook For New Year- Following Aftereffect Of Beijing Olympic Games, Global Reduction In Production Of Crude Steel Pursued

摘要

2009 was the year, when had been troubled with an aftereffect of Beijing Olympic Games. In addition, a reduction in production of crude steel on a global scale pursued the manganese market. The world output of crude steel in 2009 was 1,220 million tons, having decreased by 8% compared with that in 2008, and Japan produced 87.53 million tons of crude steel in 2009, which had a considerable decrease of 26.3% compared to that in 2008. The output of crude steel in Europe and the USA in 2009 also had a large decline ( decreased by 29 - 36% ) and only China increased their production of crude steel in 2009 by 13.5% to 568 million tons but this expansion of the production in China was diluted by a reduction in production of crude steel on a worldwide scale. The reality in the western world had been felt as the output of crude steel in 2009 decreased by approximately 30% from that in 2008. This was an unprecedented case.
