Tata Steel Europe, the European unit of the India-based steel giant Tata Steel, has announced that Tata Steel UK will invest nearly £2 million in its 20-inch high frequency induction (HFI) pipe mill in Hartlepool, UK, to offer a new generation of higher strength offshore construction grades. The company stated that the investment emphasizes its commitment to the North Sea and the global oil and gas industry.

According to the company’s statement, the investment in Hartlepool is supported by a multi-million pound investment at its Port Talbot hot strip mill in Wales. The process investment in Port Talbot will offer enhanced low temperature toughness capabilities for HFI welded line pipe produced at the Hartlepool 20-inch mill, resulting in improved and uniform fracture toughness across the 20-inch mill’s product size range.
