Tubes and Pipe

      There was regional variation in exports. Sales to the People's Republic of China maintained steady improvement from last year with the active promotion of energy development and the completion of inventory adjustments for oil country tubular goods. Exports to Russia increased dramatically with the successful conclusion of major trade negotiations concerning the promotion of gas fields that had continued since the breakup of the former USSR.

       Export conditions for the non-socialist countries deteriorated considerably because of the yen's rapid appreciation and the drop in oil prices. Sumitomo metals made a strong effort to obtain orders and adjust prices; even so, a major decline in sales of 17 % in this area was unavoidable. Despite this severe situation, the Company will maintain and enhance its position as a major supplier of tubes and pipe based on the medium-range outlook for demand. To accomplish this aim we plan to build a new 16” seamless pipe mill; construction is now underway with a completion target date of mid-1996.

Stainless Steel

       A severe recession in fiscal 1993 saw a freeze on construction and investment in plant and equipment, and a reduction in personal consumption. As a result, domestic demand showed a slight drop of about 3 percent compared to the previous year. exports, however, were brisk to the Asian market, sustained by a steady demand from the People's Republic of china in particular; this trend remained firm even in the new year. Exports increased about 6 percent over the previous year. Prices are softening with greater competition from European and Korean mills. Not only have prices fallen in the Asian market, domestic prices continue to fall, inf luenced by the growing presence of low-priced, imported steel in the market.

Stainless Steel

Given these severe conditions, Sumitomo Metals is making full use of the advantages gained from the merger with Nippon Stainless Steel Co., Ltd. in 1992, and is targeting the export market. This year's results were at approximately the same level as last year's.

       Sumitomo's NAR-FC-FC-4 is a highly pure ferritic stainless steel developed as a roofing material. This steel contains 22 % chrome and 2 % molybdenum and has outstandingcorrosion resistance, 1.5 times as great as SUS 304, previously used as a roofing material. NAR-FC-4, being highly resistant to salt corrosion, can be used even in such severely corrosive environments as coastal areas where SUS 304's corrosion resistance is insufficient. This ferritic steel is a suitable roofing material because it has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the austenitic SUS 304, so it can prevent leaks caused by thermal

expansion and contraction.

Titanium

    Light, strong, and corrosion-resistant, titanium has become one of Sumitomo's main products through the combined efforts of Sumitomo Metals Group companies. Titanium quickly became a material for equipment and facilities that exploited its outstanding characteristics in areas such as petrochemical plants, thermal and nuclear power stations, desalination plants, and aircraft applications.

       Sumitomo Metals, together with related companies in the Sumitomo Metals Group, has integrated production systems for commercially pure titanium and titanium alloys. our range of products covers plates, coils, sheets, foil, seamless and welded tubular goods, low finned tubes, fittings, extrusions, bars, wire, rods, forgings, and so on.

       Since 1985 the Company has been certified by aircraft engine and airframe manufacturers to supply titanium alloy products, including materials for the V2500 engine.
