...Renz Erick R. Delgado BSCE 4 200810163 “STEEL” BASIC STRUCTURE OF THE MATERIAL Steel is an alloy that consists mostly of iron and has carbon content between 0.2% and 2.1% by weight, depending on the grade. It also consists of small quantities such as manganese, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, copper, tungsten, cobalt, or silicon. It is generally hard, strong, durable, malleable alloy and depending on the desired alloy properties, the constituents in steel vary. The density of steel varies based on the alloying constituents, but usually ranges between 7,750 and 8,050 kg/m3 (484 and 503 lb/cu ft), or 7.75 and 8.05 g/cm3 (4.48 and 4.65 oz/cu in). Carbon is the most common alloying material for iron, but various other alloying elements are used, such as manganese, chromium, vanadium, and tungsten. Carbon and other elements act as a hardening agent, preventing dislocations in the iron atom crystal lattice from sliding past one another. Varying the amount of alloying elements and the form of their presence in the steel (solute elements, precipitated phase) controls qualities such as the hardness, ductility, and tensile strength of the resulting steel. Steel with increased carbon content can be made harder and stronger than iron, but such steel is also less ductile than iron. Though steel had been produced by various inefficient methods long before the Renaissance, its use became more common after more-efficient production methods were devised...

The file photo shows workers busy at Bangladesh Steel Re-rolling Mills that produces high-grade steel. Shakhawat Hossain The country’s steel industry has been getting continuous investment boom due to steady demands. Steel manufacturers see no major negative impact on their industry as they believe the country’s economy will keep its impressive growth despite the global financial recession. They said the country with nearly six per cent growth in the last three years provides enough clues to consume higher production of mild steel rod to be generated by the big players with their proposed new investments. ‘The rod industry will not face major problem due to growing investment in the sector,’ said Bangladesh Steel Re-rolling Mills chairman Ali Hossain Akbar Ali. ‘Chance is slim even for the small players to become sick as the growing consumption rate of steel will remain in the coming years despite global financial recession,’ he told New Age. BSRM, producer of high-grade steel, makes up more than 25 per cent of the total demand. It is now on trial production in its newly installed 3,00,000-tonne plant, set up at a cost of over Tk 3.5 billion...

The company had closed the year with a record profit of Rs. 34.74 billion. A series of initiatives launched by the company over the last 15 years had culminated in these stellar results although there were many challenges at every step. At each stage in its journey, the company did what needed to be done. In retrospect, however, the various initiatives launched by the company over the years now appeared to fit into a coherent picture. The company had made steady progress over the years and had now achieved a pre-eminent status in the Indian steel industry. It had become one of the lowest cost steel producers in the world five years ago, a distinction that it had continued to maintain.

...Sand Tester Home > Water Well Products > Calculations & Specifications Collapse Strength Calculations The following collapse formulae provide the user practical tools to estimate collapse strengths of various types of casing and screen. It is important that one pays particular attention to the material and manufacturing standards for the casing and screen specified so that acceptable tolerances are considered and adequate safety factors applied. Collapse Strength of Steel Casing: Timoshenko's Formula, shown below, is commonly accepted to be the most accurate method available for estimating the collapse strength of steel pipe with diameter/thickness ratios common to those used in the construction of water wells. Where: Pcr = Theoretical collapse strength of a perfectly round tube Where: Pe = Collapse pressure with ellipticity (psi) E = Young's M odulus for Steel (3x107) u = Poisson's Ratio (0.3) Do = Outside diameter of casing (inches) t = Wall thickness (inches) S = Yield strength (mild steel = 35,000 psi) e = ellipticity, frequently assumed as 0.01 Perform Calc ulation Collapse Strength of Shutter Screen: Shutter Screen, sometimes referred to as Louver Screen, actually has a greater collapse strength than casing of the same diameter and wall thickness due to the corrugating effect of the louvers. As a result, shutter screen's collapse strength is up to 60% stronger than the pipe from which it was made. Factors which determine the extent of increased strength...

...SLAG - IRON AND STEEL December, 2014 16-1 SLAG - IRON AND STEEL 16 Slag - Iron and Steel S lag is a by-product generated during manufacturing of pig iron and steel. It is produced by action of various fluxes upon gangue materials within the iron ore during the process of pig iron making in blast furnace and steel manufacturing in steel melting shop. Primarily, the slag consists of calcium, magnesium, manganese and aluminium silicates in various combinations. The cooling process of slag is responsible mainly for generating different types of slags required for various end-use consumers. Although, the chemical composition of slag may remain unchanged, physical properties vary widely with the changing process of cooling. In an integrated steel plant, 2 to 4 tonnes of wastes (including solid, liquid and gas) are generated for every tonne of steel produced. A c c o r d i n g l y, t o d a y t h e e m p h a s i s i s o n t h e avoidance of waste generation, recycling and reuse of waste, and minimising the adverse impact of disposal on the environment. Among all the solid/liquid wastes, slags generated at iron making and steel making units are created in the largest quantities. With increasing capacities, disposal of large quantities of slag becomes a big environmental concern and a critical issue for steel makers. Over the last few years, with a better understanding of slags, its functions and improvements in process technologies have led ...

...Introduction to the industry Metals have accompanied mankind since ancient ages, and steel, if we begin to follow it from the moment of its historically famed damascene form - for some millennia. From the era of craftsman-like small-scale production to today's form of industrial mass production, steel has covered an intricate path lined with significant innovations in production processes, development of range and quality of products, and perpetually growing productivity of labour, improving economies and ecological load. In addition, a radical change in relationship to the customers is occuring at the end of this century, namely by a pronounced shift of readiness towards the needs and requirements of these customers. Steel's indisputable significance is confirmed by the fact that it has become the second most mass-produced commodity after cement production, attaining the world-wide production volume of approx. 750 mil tons yearly. The art of iron production from ore arose in connection with the practices of copper and lead technologies in Anatolya, in northern Syria and possibly also in part of Iran. Iron ores were added as fluxes for treatment of sulphide copper ores. Iron drops, which the local manufacturers identified already 3000 years BC, comparing these with meteoritic iron, already hinted at the existence of the possibility of producing iron, but this only occurred practically 15 centuries later. Since that time, it is necessary to reckon that only small amounts of this...

...Steel in rural India: Big market waiting to be tapped INDIAN steel production grew 2.5 per cent in the first six months of this fiscal. Together with the surplus capacity, this makes for a mutually reinforcing cause-and-effect relationship, impacting the sector's performance. Though recently the demand for long products, traditionally used by the construction sector, has been on the rise, the prospect for flat products, linked to downstream industries, remains bleak. With the per capita consumption of steel in India almost static over the last few years at around 26 kg, one of the lowest in the world, demand growth is a matter of concern. The Ninth Plan working group predicted a domestic demand of around 31 million tonnes by 2000-2001. The actual aggregate demand, however, has not exceeded 26 million tonnes till now. Unfortunately, however, the production capacity of the steel industry has exceeded the 30-million-tonne mark. This mismatch has affected the country's steel scenario. Traditionally, steel demand has been linked to construction and infrastructure development. Over the last five years, two other segments — white goods and automobiles — have assumed importance. This segment-wise categorisation does not take into account the rural sector. And demand projections for general segments do not reflect the potential for increasing steel consumption in rural areas. The rural sector, especially in such prosperous States as Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and western...
