[ferro-alloys.com] Thecrude stainless steel production by 7 major stainless steel mills in July 2013 was 310,071 tonne, down by 0.5% from the prior month. This also represented a slight decrease of 0.2% versus the year earlier month.

In comparison with the prior month, albeit Yawata Works of Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation increased its production, the production volume of entire stainless steel decreased due to production curtailment by Kawasaki Works of Nippon Yakin Kogyo Co Ltd and Wakayama Works of Nippon Steel & Sumikin Koutetsu Wakayama.
