Overview of the Japanese Iron and Steel Industry and concerns regarding a slowdown in overseas economies. During the period from 2009 through 2010, the Japanese (Cabinet Office: Monthly Economic Report (January 2011), economy overcame the global financial crisis of 2008 and Economic Review of FY 2011 and Basic Policy on Economic substantially recovered, bolstered by foreign demand and and Fiscal Management (January 24, 2011)). government economic measures aimed at creating demand China’s gross domestic product of 2010 increased by and supporting employment.

Nevertheless, persisted over the past 2 decades has become an urgent mat- since the second half of 2010, economic conditions have ter. In June 2010, the Japanese government announced a “New Growth Strategy” which laid out strategic national projects in 7 strategic fields, including green innovation, life innovation, etc. in order to strengthen the economy, public finances, and social security. Implementation of policies for early realization of this strategy is desired. Reviewing conditions in the Japanese iron and steel industry in 2010, under the circumstances described above, crude steel production returned to the 100 million ton level for the first time in 2 years (calendar year base) as a result of a recovery of exports to the emerging nations, centering on Asian nations currently enjoying high growth rates, and recovery of domestic demand supported by the govern- ment’s economic stimulus measures. Production exceeded 90% of the level prior to the global financial crisis (Fig. 2). However, in the near-term, the economy has remained stagnant since the summer of 2010 due to the end of gov- ernment economic measures and the effects of the rapid appreciation of the yen, among other negative factors, mak- ing the future difficult to predict. On the other hand, there were also several positive developments in 2010 which were important for the iron and steel industry. These included a Cabinet decision to reduce the effective corporate tax rate by 5% in the revision of the tax system in FY 2011, by the issue of global warming, the fact that COP16 avoided an exten- Fig. 1.

  • Japanese Manufacturing Affiliates in Europe and Turkey
    06-ORD 70H-002AA 7 Japanese Manufacturing Affiliates in Europe and Turkey - 2005 Survey - September 2006 Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) Preface The survey on “Japanese manufacturing affiliates in Europe and Turkey” has been conducted 22 times since the first survey in 1983*. The latest survey, carried out from January 2006 to February 2006 targeting 16 countries in Western Europe, 8 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, and Turkey, focused on business trends and future prospects in each country, procurement of materials, production, sales, and management problems, effects of EU environmental regulations, etc. The survey revealed that as of the end of 2005 there were a total of 1,008 Japanese manufacturing affiliates operating in the surveyed region --- 818 in Western Europe, 174 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 16 in Turkey. Of this total, 291 affiliates --- 284 in Western Europe, 6 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 1 in Turkey --- also operate R & D or design centers. Also, the number of Japanese affiliates who operate only R & D or design centers in the surveyed region (no manufacturing operations) totaled 129 affiliates --- 125 in Western Europe and 4 in Central and Eastern Europe. In this survey we put emphasis on the effects of EU environmental regulations on Japanese manufacturing affiliates. We would like to express our great appreciation to the affiliates concerned for their kind cooperation, which have enabled us over the years to constantly improve the survey and report on the results. We hope that the affiliates and those who are interested in business development in Europe and/or Turkey will find this report useful.

  • Xa9949546 3. Reactor Pressure Vessel Materials
    Ill XA9949546 3. REACTOR PRESSURE VESSEL MATERIALS K. Suzuki, The Japan Steel Works, Ltd., Muroran Plant 1 INTRODUCTION The demands placed on reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels are severe. They must be manufactured in required sizes and thicknesses, be of sufficient strength and toughness, show little deterioration under irradiation, allow the production of high quality welds and be compatible with the cladding. This Chapter refers to non-WER pressure vessels, but many of the guiding principles described here apply to that particular case. Starting with carbon steel plates and forgings for conventional boiler drums in the dawn of commercial light water reactors (LWRs) followed by a few changes thereafter, SA533 and SA508 and similar grade steels have become well established [1]. Both grades are of the vacuum treated, quenched and tempered type of 600 N/mm2 strength class, which is not the highest level in weldable structural steels. - 71 - The specific requirements for RPV steels are to give, even to large- size component materials of RPVs, higher values of the following properties: - uniformity and isotropy of mechanical properties, including less mass effect in the mid-section - fracture toughness - internal defects - weldability - resistivity to neutron irradiation embrittlement Some further items were added during the past two decades primarily for the purpose of easier execution of non-destructive examinations both pre-service and in-service. These are: - fewer weld seams in RPV - larger and more integral design of component materials The requirements have been steadily realized. - 72 - With respect to the weld, improvements have been made by adequate selection of flux in combination with requirements on the chemical composition of the weld wire, welding parameters such as weld bead size and sequence to minimize the coarse grained areas in the heat affected zone (HAZ) [2].
