Primary Metals Solution

A Michigan-based steel manufacturing facility installed a new reducer on one of its roughing mills due to damage within the existing reducer. The mill was concerned that the loads being transmitted through the gear reducer may be exceeding design limits.

Segment Analysis

United States Industry Overview

The primary metals industry has endured exceptionally difficult operating conditions over the five years since 2017.

Industrial Production Index

The industrial production index measures output from the mining, manufacturing, electric and gas sectors. Industrial production is closely linked to demand for primary metals because it is used in a variety of industrial applications, from machinery manufacturing to oil pipelines.

Iron & Steel Industry 

Operators in the iron and steel manufacturing industry melt and refine iron ore into iron, which is subsequently processed into steel. Companies manufacture steel into a variety of shapes, such as bars, plates, rods, sheets, strips and wire, for downstream construction and manufacturing industries. Operators typically alloy, or mix, steel with nonferrous metals, such as nickel and zinc, to impart certain properties to the final product. For instance, industry participants use nickel in the production of stainless steel, which is more resistant to corrosion and better able to withstand extreme temperatures. Similarly, operators use zinc to galvanize steel products and prevent them from rusting

Aluminum Industry 

The aluminum manufacturing industry includes companies that refine aluminum-bearing bauxite into alumina and smelt alumina to produce aluminum. Industry operators also recycle aluminum from scrap metal, which is a less energy intensive process known as secondary aluminum production. The industry also includes a wide range of both vertically integrated and standalone manufacturers that process unwrought aluminum (typically purchased from upstream manufacturers but also produced internally) into intermediary and value added products such as plate, sheet, foil and extrusions for downstream manufacturing and construction markets. Aluminum is a lightweight, ductile, corrosion-resistant, highly conductive and infinitely recyclable material, making it particularly useful in an array of applications. Accordingly, aluminum products are used as inputs in automotive and aerospace structural components, electrical machinery and parts, packaging materials, nonresidential construction and a wide range of other applications.
