OneSteel to close Whyalla furnace

Australia's OneSteel has announced to temporary stop its operation at Whyalla blast furnace.

 

The main reason is because the connection between blast furnace's tap hole and blast pipe nozzle can not be re-built.

 

OneSteel said this situation will not cause the serious affection to its major customers; also, the company will try to get the import steel source to satisfy the market demand.
