In addition to petrochemicals, prices turned lower for paperboard, paint and fertilizer materials, and also fell for aluminum mill shapes, copper and brass mill shapes, primary lead and copper and aluminum extrusion billets.

Special steel billets of 1 tonne or more have been produced by spray forming on a commercial basis, together with Ni super-alloy ring blanks of up to 500 kg and Al alloy extrusion billets of up to 400 kg.
