M. Mihaliková, A. Lišková, Faculty of Metallurgy, Technical University of Košice, Slovakia The aim of this experimental research was to perform an analysis of deformation characteristics on two different types of steel: IF steel, and micro-alloyed steel were used automotive industry. For that purpose changes of properties of these materials were carried out by static 10-3 · s-1 and dynamic 103 ...

A modified version of the carburization process, a widely established technique used in the steel industry for case hardening of components, is used for the growth of graphene on stainless steel. Controlled growth of high-quality single- and few-layered graphene on stainless steel (SS) foils through a liquid-phase chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique is reported. Reversible Li intercalatio...

This paper describes a review of the potential use of High Strength Incorporating Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag and Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete used in construction industry to improve the structural strength and reduce steel reinforcements requirements. Blast furnace slag (GGBS) has been used as a supplementary material along with the cement. It helps in increasing the durability an...

Kobe Steel has developed coal-based direct reduction (DR) technologies, the FASTMET, FASTMELT and ITmk3 processes, which reduce carbon composite agglomerates (pellets or briquettes) on the hearth of a rotary hearth furnace (RHF). This paper outlines the features of each process, status of technical development and commercialization. Also described is the contribution of these technologies to en...

S teel industries play a key role in the national economy and welfare of the society in many steel manufacturer countries. It is found that manufacturing and consuming of steel products would be a key indicator to measure and evaluate economic and industrial performance of a country. Nowadays, countries with the large natural oil and gas resources (e.g. Iran) attempt to select an alt...

The Steel Founders’ Society regularly surveys member companies to determine the typical practices used in steel casting production. SFSA has also promoted the participation of member companies in the Performance Benchmarking survey available each year to members of participating manufacturing associations. It is useful to take a look across the results of the past several years and to reflect o...

Aluminium and iron/steel are truly sustainable materials. As a result the global metallurgical industry strives to produce products, which contribute to the global effort by reducing resource use, recycling and reusing materials where possible, and to help create the economic and supply frameworks needed to do this. Aluminium is a material that is infinitely recyclable and remarkably plentiful....

Laboratory scale studies have repeatedly reported high P-retention in slag, a by-product of the steel manufacturing industry. Thus, it has emerged as a potential material to increase P-removal from constructed wetlands (CWs). However, several limitations were highlighted by field experiments, including the high pH of treated water and clogging. We hypothesized that the addition of sedimentary r...
