Chinese Steel Exports, Boron & Chromium (wink, wink)
Written by John Packard
The Chinese steel industry exported 70,823,201 metric tons (780,691,000 net tons) of steel products during calendar year 2014 according to the Chinese Customs Service. The largest exporting segment was sheet and plate where the Chinese steel mills shipped 32,791,085 metric tons (36,146,000 net tons) to countries outside of China.
According to Chuck Bradford, of Bradford Research, Inc., Chinese steel exports rose by more than 50 percent compared to calendar year 2013. With most economies outside of the U.S. being in recession, the amount of tons has raised some eyebrows both inside and outside of China.
