Brazil: April 2016 iron ore exports up by 0.8 percentThe Brazilian Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade has reported that the iron ore export volume for the country in April 2016 totalled 28.9 million mt. This is 4.4 percent lower than March 2016 but up 0.8 percent from April 2015. Iron ore is a key ingredient in the creation of stainless steels and corrosion resistant alloys (CRAs). Brazil’s iron ore export value in April amounted to $960.8 million, increasing by 23.7 percent compared to March 2016, but decreasing by 17.3 percent compared to April 2015. In April 2016, Brazil’s export volume of semi-fi nished products of iron and steel (including stainless steel) equalled 601, 201 mt, falling 15 percent compared to the pervious month and up by 47.4 percent compared to April 2015. These exports were valued at $152.3 million but decreased in value by 17.2 percent compared to March 2016 and by 5.4 percent compared to the same time period last year.

Brazil: Petrobras & Brookfi eld talk over pipeline unitState-controlled Petróleo Brasileiro SA (Petrobras) has entered exclusive talks with Brookfi eld Asset Management Inc. over the sale of natural gas pipeline unit Nova Transportadora do Sudeste SA (NTS), as part of a plan to dispose of $15 billion of non-essential assets by year-end.Petrobras set an exclusivity period for negotiations initially at 60 days but that could be extended for another 30 days. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.Reuters reported that Brookfi eld had offered 18 billion reais ($5.2 billion USD) to buy NTS trumping rival bids. Other bidders included Spain’s Gas Natural Fenosa SA, France’s Engie SA and Japan’s Mitsui & Co Ltd.Petrobras is relying on asset sales and cost cuts to reduce a debt burden of $130 billion. According to the fi ling, a sale of NTS requires approval by Petrobras management and board, as well as from regulators. Brookfi eld’s purchase of NTS, with nearly 1,560 miles (2,500 km) of pipelines, could be the country’s biggest corporate takeover so far this year.

The worldwide neutrino physics com-munity, comprised of over 800 sci-entists from approximately 30 coun-tries, is working together to develop a leading-edge, dual-site experiment for neutrino science and proton de-cay studies. A neutrino is a sub atom-ic particle with no electric charge and proton decay is a hypothetical form of radioactive decay in which the protons decay into lighter subatomic particles. The experiment itself has been named the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) and will be hosted at the Fermilab, America’s premier particle physics laboratory, in Batavia, Illinois. The facility required for this experiment is called the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) and it will be an internationally designed, coordinated and funded program, comprising of the world’s highest-in-tensity neutrino beam at Fermilab and the infrastructure necessary to

support massive cryogenic far detec-tors installed deep underground at the Stanford Underground research Facility (SURF), 800 miles (1,300km) downstream, in Lead, South Dakota. LBNF will be tightly coordinated with the DUNE collaboration designing the detectors that will carry out its ex-perimental program. The set of four detectors will be the largest cryogenic instrument ever installed deep under-ground. They will store and cool the liquid argon needed for the experi-ment and wil even help the oil & gas industry learn more about containing liquids such as LNG. The experiment’s massive insulated vessels will be con-structed using a stainless steel frame inside an insulating layer and in be-tween aluminum sheets. All of these multiple layers made out of an as-sortment of corrosion resistant alloys will help provide the strength to keep the liquid argon where it should be: Interacting with neutrinos.

Morrison Pump Company is set to supply four vertical mixed flow pumps for the Nitrifying Sidestream Treatment (NST) fa-cility at the EchoWater Project in Sacramento, California. The EchoWater Project is a major up-grade to the region’s wastewater treatment plant in Elk Grove.The four Morrison VOM Model Pumps will be high efficiency,

fixed speed, vertical mixed flow pumps with forged stainless steel impellers. The pump delivery is expected during the first quarter of 2017.The new EchoWater Treatment Plant will improve water quali-ty with a nearly 95 percent re-duction in ammonia discharged to the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.

Ulbrich Stainless Steels & Special Metals, Inc., headquartered in North Haven, Connecticut (CT), is a global precision re-roller and distributor of stainless steel strip, special metals strip, UltraLite Foil®, shaped wire, fine wire, sheet, plate, bar and PV ribbon products. Ulbrich’s precision rolled strip and service center products have gained a reputation for excellent reliability and superior performance in critical applications across a variety of sectors including aerospace, automotive, chemical processing, electronics, medical, oil & gas and power generation.

All Ulbrich products are the result of years of operational experience and metallurgical development, offering properties well beyond those of ordinary metals. The company is devoted to supplying customers with quality metals engineered to enhance and improve processes and products. Ulbrich has 12 locations in five different countries including Asia, Europe and North America with additional sales representation worldwide.

Stainless Steel World Americas recently had the pleasure of speaking with Ryan Cei, Ulbrich’s Global Marketing Manager, about the company’s rich history, its impressive product offerings and why customers should continue to choose Ulbrich as their developmental partner and one-stop shop for speciality metal products.

By Candace Allison

Starting from scrapUlbrich Stainless Steels & Special Metals, Inc., was founded in 1924 in Wallingford, Connecticut, by Fred Ulbrich Sr. At that time Fred left his home of Wallingford, Connecticut, to gain manufacturing experience at Donora Zinc Works in Donora, Pennsylvania. At this melt mill in Donora, Fred was taken with separating scrap. He soon realized that his hometown of Wallingford was in need of a metal scrap supplier. Fred moved back to Wallingford and began his own scrap business by traveling to the surrounding farms and gathering dismantled or abandoned farm equipment, cars and appliances. He then separated the scrap based on the knowledge he had gained working in the melt mills and sold the scrap back to those very mills so the material could be re-melted into new steel.

Mr. Cei explained that Fred Sr. was in the ideal place to start-up a scrap metal business because the surrounding areas were known as the ‘Silverware Capital’ of the United States as there were two large silverware mills located in the vicinity. Fred mostly sold scrap metal until World War II when more opportunities came about. During the war, he won contracts to make silverware for US Army mess kits, but it was a challenge because he couldn’t get the right thickness as the majority of metal was being used for ammunition and artillery. Fred audited metallurgy courses at Yale University this time, and was able to supply the correct type of stainless steel utensils due to his metals expertise.

Cei shared, “It was then that Fred exited the scrap business, sold his silverware subsidiary and bought the very fi rst Sendzimir rolling mill (which is a cold rolling mill) in the Northeast. That’s when Ulbrich became a precision stainless steel and special metals supplier that it is known as today. Having the fi rst Sendzimir mill allowed him to sell small quantities of high quality material to companies in Connecticut with exacting metal requirements. Ulbrich’s customers included Pratt & Whitney, United Technologies and Hamilton Standard during this time. In this post-World War II era, both the aerospace and automotive markets took off and material requirements became and more and more precise as well as diverse. So Ulbrich grew from a stainless steel company to a business that now supplied titanium, nickel alloys, and many other specialty alloys. The company grew as the demand grew. We always pride ourselves on being at the forefront of the expansion in the metals marketplace.”

A capabilities-driven companyCei continued to explain that as Ulbrich grew, two of Fred’s sons became involved with the business, which by that time had become a global supplier. As the customer base began to spread outside of Connecticut, Ulbrich opened service centers strategically located around North America to better service customers. As the customer specifi cations became more precise, so too did Ulbrich’s product and service offerings; the company adapted to fi t the needs of its clients. This is exactly how

Ulbrich became, and continues to be, a capabilities-driven company.

One of the many impressive examples of this capability is that Ulbrich was on the forefront of sending man into space in the 1960s. There is a US Government and NASA-issued plaque hanging at Ulbrich’s Corporate Headquarters from the United States thanking the company for providing materials that helped men to land on the moon in 1969 and 1971. The metal needed for the original Apollo missions had to be very high temperature-resistant alloys to withstand tremendous heat and function within burning rocket engines. In addition to that momentous milestone, the company has been one of Pratt & Whitney’s trusted suppliers since the 1950s. Today, Ulbrich provides high temperature materials for the military’s new Joint Strike Fighter program.

Family-owned businessSupplying unique industrial sectors like aerospace soon led to work on a wider variety of products and applications. For instance, the company became involved with wire products because the requested product properties were too narrow or tight to be able to use strip metal, so wire was the only option. Eventually this segment of the business grew so large it became its own company, Ulbrich Shaped Wire which currently operates out of North Haven, Connecticut. Then through acquisitions, additional facilities were purchased in Westminster, South Carolina, now named Ulbrich Specialty Wire Products. One of the many product lines available from that business center is a tinned-plated copper photovoltaic

ribbon used in solar panels. PV ribbon became such a popular product that the business grew to multiple worldwide locations including Austria, Hong Kong and Oregon. This solar division of Ulbrich is called Ulbrich Solar Technologies, Inc.

Despite Ulbrich Stainless Steels & Special Metals, Inc., being the parent company to these several other successful companies, Ulbrich remains very much a family company. Throughout its 92-year history, the company has maintained full family ownership. The current CEO, Chris Ulbrich, is the third generation and his four children represent the fourth. So Ulbrich remains family-centric, family-owned and family-operated which is unique for a global manufacturer. In fact, employment at Ulbrich features a ‘family feel’ despite being a large corporate business. Cei stated that at a recent sales meeting, out of the 75 employees in attendance the average tenure was well over 18 years.

Worldwide reachMaintaining a family-like corporate culture isn’t an easy task since the organization is spread over fi ve facilities just in Connecticut alone. Cei explained, “In about a two mile stretch between Wallingford, CT, and its neighboring town of North Haven, CT, we have fi ve facilities. Those include our corporate offi ce, which has about 70 people who handle our corporate functions such as accounting, IT, marketing and the sales group for our main re-roll plant, which is located about a mile down the road. At this re-roll facility, which operates 24/7, we have another 120 employees. That

Westminster, South Carolina; and Austria. There is also a sales office in Shanghai, China, as well as local representation throughout Europe and Northern Asia.

Company strategy and expansionsWhen asked about the overall company strategy for all of these locations, Cei is quick to say, “We have the manufacturing sites, the eight rolling mills, straight annealed furnaces and the wire mills. Then we also have the distribution groups and the strategically located service centers. With all those different businesses we really see ourselves as a development partner to our customers. We have an understanding of the market and we have an understanding of the materials as well as the properties required for those applications. So we really partner with our customers on the innovative products and what’s always next in the market place. Recently the trend is what we call, lighter and tighter, so everything is getting smaller and everything is getting lighter in weight. For example, we produce a stainless

steel wire for the medical industry that is one-tenth the thickness of a human hair by the width of a human hair. You can’t even see it run on the equipment!”

Cei said that in terms of expansion, Ulbrich is almost doubling the size of one of its wire facilities to be prepared for future equipment needs. The plan is also to warehouse raw material, so a new wire mill can assist with the products being produced for screen wire applications. As an up and coming product line, the extra space has been added to be able to handle much greater capacity.

is where our rolling mills are located and all the rolling and annealing is done. Next to that building we have a service center where all the fi nishing, packing and shipping is completed. Also, all of our facilities adhere to a variety of quality standards such as GE, Rolls Royce, National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (Nadcap), Pratt & Whitney, etc. We service mostly the East Coast from this service center location, but we do have some customers in other areas because of our unique capabilities.”

Cei further detailed that down the road from the service center is a large warehouse that employs a handful of people and that’s where all material is delivered and then brought up to our mill for processing. Beside that warehouse is the shaped wire mill that employs approximately 50 people. That facility produces products for downhole drilling operations along with other products with unique profiles such as product seals for industrial use in the chemical processing sector.

In addition to the Connecticut locations, Ulbrich has strip service centers outside of Chicago, Illinois, as well as a sales office in Fresno, California. There is a service center out of Querétaro, Mexico, servicing Latin America, and two more North American service centers in Montreal and Toronto, Canada. Cei explained that the products out of those two Canadian service centers consist of long products such as bar, tube and sheets that mainly cater to the Ontario and Québec markets. Then there is the wire facility in South Carolina and the solar division in Portland, Oregon;

There are a lot of coatings that we do, such as electroplated silver, nickel and gold plating. But regarding the strip products, we service all of the four families of stainless items, as well as pure nickel and nickel-based alloys, cobalt-based alloys, then commercially pure titanium and titanium alloys as well. We are constantly looking at what’s next. We’re really a technological/material solutions company. With our products, we sell solutions.”

A developmental partnerUlbrich also has an extensive metallur-gical staff who directly support custom-

ers. A highly-skilled staff works along-side the commercial team to develop a “recipe” for success in attaining cus-tomer requirements and specifi cations. The benefi t of an experienced, cus-tomer-facing metallurgy department is that demand is met with real-time expertise and technical support. The customers can rely on Ulbrich’s staff to work with them and define a process to ensure repeatability and quality. In this sense Ulbrich is in a development partnership with cus-tomers.

“We are essentially a development and supply chain partner to our custom-ers. Ulbrich strives to exceed customer expectations and to help them on an intrinsic level, from the developmental stages through to trials then to certi-fi cations,” concludes Cei. “We want to help develop a keen understanding of those requirements so we are able to follow the product lifecycle from in-fancy up to maturity. Ulbrich really is a capabilities-driven company that is a one-stop shop for customers from development to mass production. We work closely with clients to develop a product that works best for what our customers are trying to accomplish.”
