Tuesday announced price Increases averaging 9 for carbon steel sheet and flat-rolled products. The Increases, which are effective August 10, are the first for flat-rolled products since July 1, 1974. Armco said production costs had risen 17.4, or $45 a ton, during that 13-month period. Armco is based in Mlddletown. Armco said the price Increases "were long overdue," but not initiated earlier because a virtual price freeze had resulted from commitments secured last December by the Council on Wage and Price Stability from several major steelmakers not to raise prices for six months.

Prices on most other steel products were raised at that time from 6.5 to 9.2. The new flat-rolled Increase will average 1.3 cents a pound, or $26 a ton, for hot-rolled, cold-rolled and coated carbon steels. For typical consumer products, the increase would mean an added cost of about $34 for the steel used in a medium-size car, or about $2.12 for a 16-cublc-foot refrigerator, the company said. Armco Chairman William Verity said in Washington he did not know what the rest of the steel industry would do, but suspected U.S. Steel is in the same position as Armco where flat-rolled products are concerned.

Armco Is No. 5 In production and No. 3 in sales. Other large steel companies, including VS. Steel, Bethlehem and National, declined any Immediate comment on the Armco decision.

Verity said he met with the Council on Wage and Price Stability earlier in the day to report the price Increase.
