Small blast furnace produces cost to be 10 dollars about / pound
According to Tokyo on April 6 dispatch - China contains nickel cast iron (ferronickel is in what home says) will march toward export market by sale in domestic market. The compensatory product that the cast iron that contain nickel is period of inadequacy of nickel metal supply of goods all the time. But considering current situation of global nickel market, this product will become the unknown factor that affects nickel market possibly, prospective development is worth pay close attention to. In March the last ten-day of a month, on the nickel alloy plenary meeting that in new noise made in coughing or vomiting Duoniya holds, main nickel metal produces an enterprise to think China contains nickel cast iron to not allow to ignore to the influence of the market.
