MESSAGE

It gives me immense pleasure in presenting a special 20th Anniversary issue of Stainless India. The journeyhas been so exciting, fun filled and equally rewarding that it feels like yesterday. When I look back, the wholestory just flashes in front of my eyes and I would like to take you through the same.

It all started with our visit to London in 1988 on an invitation from Ni and Cr producers. At that point in time onlyfour Stainless Steel development Associations were existing (Japan, Germany, Italy & South Africa). There hasbeen a marked difference in the stainless steel market development in these countries compared to others thatmade us think about India. We could feel that a neutral body with the sole purpose of developing a market haslarger influence when compared with different organizations working in parallel to increase their market.

The excitement paved the way and work started immediately after our return from the UK. Formally ISSDA wasborn in Nov 1989 as non-profit organization after long debates and taking in to confidence key manufacturers ofstainless steel. This was the time when India was producing meager quantities of stainless steel and nickelprices were hitting the roof. The challenge was tough and not much was in sight as to what could be the wayto work on our mission. But we were determined to bring about a revolution in the Indian market.

This was the time when the development of Cr-Mn series stainless steel started and today we all know that the200 series grades dominate the Indian market and are well established in a variety of applications.

Today what we see in the Railways, Airports, Metro Coaches, Bus Shelters, Infrastructure projects, Dairy /Sugar Industry, etc is the result of innumerable efforts that have gone in to bring it to this level. Indian consumptionof stainless steel has gone up to more than 1.4 Million tonnes from what it was at 0.2 Million tonnes in1989.Very soon you will hear about the three Cr-Mn grades registered with the Bureau of Indian Standardswhich in itself is an achievement. What gives me more pleasure is that today India is not only meeting itsdomestic demand but also actively exporting large quantities of stainless steel in long and flat products andalso finished products to large parts of the world.

This journey of transformation will be incomplete without my acknowledgements to ISSDA staff, especiallyRamesh Gopal, support from the Nickel Institute, our members and government officials and end users, whohave played an active role and given unrelenting support to our plans. I must also tell you that in the last 20years the worldwide count of Stainless Steel Development Associations has gone up to 24. ISSDA has a majorplace among them and is widely respected by all for its work in India and support to other associations.

I thank you all for what we are and where we are today, and seek your continuous support to take it forward…..

Stain Less today, Stain Less tomorrow..

Best regards.

The First Global MarketDevelopment Forum for StainlessSteel held in London in May 1998sponsored by the then NickelDevelopment Institute, ChromiumCentre and ChromiumAssociation was convened inorder that the global stainless steelindustry might considerundertaking a new initiative tosecure its prosperity. This historicconference had a very deep,broad and lasting impact on thegrowth of stainless steel marketsin the whole world, including India.

In his presentation titled ‘A GlobalView of Opportunities for MaketDevelopment in the Stainless SteelIndustry’ Dr. W K Armitage of theChromium Centre, South Africa,said that while the optimisticpicture for the world market wassomething like 3% growth perannum, he noted that “we cannotidentify any significant newinitiative that has caused thebuoyant situation”.

Explaining the reason for lack ofany significant new initiatives bythe stainless steel industry he said”Individual industry producersoften fear that any significantmarket development achievementopens the new businessopportunity to threat from directcompetitors and from imports” hesaid that the best safeguardagainst this risk is “to developmarkets collectively on a nationalor global industry basis”(emphasis added – Editor).

Comparisons of mean annualdemand growth rates over 19years (1968 – 1986) betweencountries having national stainlesssteel development associations

and those without it, showed ayawning gap. Italy, WestGermany, Spain and Japan withtheir own national SSDAs clockedbetween 4.5% to 6.8% growthrates. A few comparableeconomies without SSDAsclocked growth rates onlybetween 2.5% and 3.2%.

The Indian stainless steel industrytook the lessons of the conference

very seriously and in November1989 the Indian Stainless SteelDevelopment Association wasincorporated. ISSDA was one ofthe first of a new crop of SSDAsin the world. At last count, therewere about 24 national SSDAs,Euro Inox was formed forcoordinated development inEurope and the InternationalStainless Steel Forum (ISSF) forglobal coordination.

These initiatives on a world scalehave helped stainless steelregister the highest growth rateamongst all materials, even aheadof plastics.

The rest, as they say is history.The history of rapid growth instainless steel production in Indiaand the world in graphic form inthe previous page.

A study of end-use pattern forstainless steel in India in 1993showed that the total use ofstainless steel by the constructionand transport sectors was lessthan 1%. In comparison, thewestern world used 11.6% of end-use of stainless steel inconstruction and 14.9% intransportation, In cateringhowever, India was far ahead of therest of the world at 75% of end usecompared to 36.5% for others.

ISSDA realized that constructionand transportation hold a lot ofpromise and potential and gave full

thrust on these two segments formore than a decade.

The pie-charts on this pagedisplay the rapid growth in the useof stainless steel in India and alsothe increasing share of theconstruction and transportationsector in the end-use market.

Building and construction sectors’usage of stainless steel wasalmost nil in 1989. Through

ISSDA’s market developmentefforts, this sector now has about6% share of the end-use marketsfor stainless steel in India. Thebuilding and construction sector’sshare is expected to go up to 10%in the next ten years.

It may be noted that although theper cent share of kitchenware isdown, but in absolute tonnageterms it has increased from212,500 to 980,000 tonnes.

Ansal Plaza’s Domino Effect in Building & ConstructionISSDA had been actively trying tocreate awareness about thebenefits of stainless steelamongst architects of everydescription in Delhi, especiallysince 1994.

Our success rate with architectswas low because we could onlyshow them photos of architecturalapplications in faraway places likeChennai and Bangalore, but theywanted to see and look at real lifeapplications with their own eyes,right here in Delhi. This created the‘chicken and egg’ syndrome.

Then Ansal Plaza – A prestigioushigh-visibility shopping complex ina highly frequented up-marketlocation -- “happened” in Delhi.

Ansal Plaza contractors were in acash crunch and in a hurry tocomplete the project. At ourinstance, fabricators fromChennai convinced them thateven the initial cost of stainlesssteel cladding for circular columnsin their project would be less thanany other stone cladding optionthey were contemplating, and thatthis cladding would be completedmuch faster. Aware of the manyother benefits of stainless steel,the architects wholeheartedlylapped up our material for a goodnumber of applications. They alsorealized that with a good amountof gleaming stainless steel, theirproject would be a trendsetter inthe country.

With over 90 large, tall columnsclad in stainless steel, it was thefirst structure in Delhi to “putstainless steel on the map” forarchitects. Stainless steel andglass dominated the plaza with agood amount of stainless steelhandrail, building hardware andshop furniture and fixtures.

Ansal Plaza in Delhi opened forthe public in the year 1999. Beingthe only large scale shopping areain the city at that time, it was

thronged with visitors as it provideda very new and exciting shoppingexperience.

.Before Ansal Plaza “happened”, mostarchitects we met in Delhi hadmisgivings about specifying stainlesssteel as they were not sure of thedesign, fabrication and executioncapabilities in India. With its stunningappearance, Ansal Plaza cleared awaythe skepticism of architects aboutstainless steel use for architecturalapplications in Delhi and other metros.

The architectural market isvery much like the fashionindustry. Once a majorproject uses stainless steelin certain applications, otherarchitects and designers will,if not slavishly follow suit,seriously consider doingsomething similar for theirnext project.

Soon after, we startedwitnessing the presence ofstainless steel as handrail,shop display stands,furniture etc., in many largeand small establishments.

Through the DOMINOEFFECT, Ansal Plaza rapidlyspread the use of stainlesssteel in the Architecture,Building & Construction(ABC) Sector across India.

The Eureka Moment in Railway Wagons

A new rake of stainless steel wagons ready for dispatch.

Wagon under fabrication

ISSDA and its member companiespersisted for long years in creatingawareness amongst railwaypersonnel about the benefits ofusing stainless steel wagons forcoal, ore, fertilizers and foodgrains. The grade recommendedwas 409M – a utility gradestainless steel suitable for suchservice. Perseverance ultimatelypaid off!

By the year 1997 Indian Railwaymaterial specification for wagons-- IRSM 44/97 was made ready for409M. In 1998, 500 of thesewagons were ready and the IndianRailways dispatched thesewagons for a severe service, tohaul iron ore and coal via theCoramandel coast line insouth-east India. But there wereno repeat orders!

An inquiry into the health of thesewagons was made by the railwaysin 1996 and it was found that noneof these wagons ever reported forthe mandatory first periodicoverhaul after 3-5 years of service.Further inquiry revealed that thesewagons were in perfect health andthe officers in charge of thewagons found no reason to sendthem for any check-ups!

EUREKA! The Indian Railwayshad found an excellent material fortheir wagons. In the 2008-09Budget speech, the RailwayMinister announced plans to inductseveral thousand stainless steelopen wagons for hauling minerals.After re-designing the wagons withlighter stainless steel in place ofcorten steel and incorporatingseveral design changes includingheavier axle loads, the wagonsgive over 20% increase in haulage.

Without explicitly using the jargon‘Life Cycle Costing’ the ministersaid that although stainless steelwagons were more expensive tobegin with, the benefits therailways would accrue year afteryear would more thancompensate for the added initialcost.

The Indian Railways would beusing over 100,000 tonnes of 409Min 2008-10 and also in the yearsto come

The Long Haul – Changes in Passenger Coach Materials Over the Years

High capacity wooden bodied coach with steel uder-frame.

The Indian Railways (IR) is the largest railway systemin the world under a single ownership – in this case,the Government of India. It has a fleet of about 50,000passenger coaches criss-crossing the length andbreadth of the country. Every year, about 2,500 newcoaches are added. Annually nearly 5 billion peopletravel by the Indian Railways.

The Indian Railways started operations in 1854.Since then, IR has had to deal constantly withproblems of corrosion of coach materials –Corrosion caused by a huge coastline and the habitof Indians to use generous quantities of water.

In its long years of service to the nation, the IndianRailways have changed materials of construction ofpassenger coaches not only to deal with the allimportant problem of corrosion, but also to provideimproved amenities, comforts and speedier travelto passengers.

Images on this page show the transition from woodto carbon steel to integral coaches of monocoquedesign for safety, corten steel for improved corrosionresistance and then to stainless steel type 409M(painted coaches).

This transition from carbon steel to corten steel tostainless steel for the shell of the coaches camethrough experimenting with and gaining experienceand confidence in stainless steel by initially specifyingstainless steel for the most corrosion-prone areasof the shell. It started with the trough floor and toiletinlays. While these two items are standard fitmentin all passenger coaches, some of the productionhas now been diverted to all-stainless steel shellsmade of 409M and some quantities of 304 to aGerman, LHB design.

The next transition in this long journey is the plan ofthe Indian Railways to set up two new factories (in

The journey continues . . . . .

India produced 1.3 million passengercars and 7 million two-wheelers in2007-08. Production of these vehiclesis expected to increase further to morethan 20 million by 2016. Due to strictemission norms, use of stainless steelin exhausts is mandated for passengercars. By next year (2010), the entiremotorcycle industry will also have meetthese environmental standards and willswitch over to stainless steel exhaustsystems. This will be followed byscooters. The current requirement ofstainless steel per two-wheeler variesbetween 2 to 5 kg and for cars it is 8 to11 kg.

India’s contribution: Development of low-nickel 200 series stainless steels

In the late 1980s, kitchenwareapplication accounted for anoverwhelming 85% of the end-useof stainless steel in India. At thatpoint of time, almost allkitchenware was made of 300series (18Cr, 8Ni) type stainlesssteels.

Two very important thingshappened at that time. First, nickelprices shot through the roof.Second, the Indian government’scoffers were next to zero. Thereis no indigenous production ofnickel in India and all of it has tobe imported. Given that thegovernment had no money forimports, there was no question ofimporting nickel, whatever thecost. Besides, for a low-cost massmarket like kitchenware, you couldnot even dream of people payingexorbitant prices for simplenecessities of life.

In the Indian psyche, non-magnetism was the surestindicator of a “good” stainlesssteel. Introduction of ferritic gradesfor kitchenware would have beena colossal disaster waiting tohappen.

This situation led to thedevelopment of low-nickelstainless steel grades forkitchenware which were generallynon-magnetic. The key is toappreciate that kitchen service(cooking, storing and serving) isnot a critical environment for low-nickel stainless steels as far ascorrosion is concerned – in other

words, fitness for service.Besides, kitchenware is cleanedand dried every day. India has 20-year of experience with thesegrades for this service.

Low-nickel stainless steel gradesin the market have been testedover and over for their corrosionresistance, formability andmechanical properties and foundfully fit for this service at reputed

laboratories in India. Throughpersistent efforts by ISSDA, theBureau of Indian Standards (BIS)is now in the process of issuingan Indian Standard for thesegrades.

Currently, low-nickel stainlesssteels account for about 7% ofworld production. In India, theyconstitute 70% of domesticproduction of stainless steels.
