Almost $200 billion is used for fixing and preventing the damage done by corrosion each year in the United States. The process of corrosion costs important money and resources. Iron and steel are the most important resources that corrode. About 20% of the steel and iron produced in the United States is used to repair bridges or pipelines that have suffered from the effects of corrosion. Corrosion occurs when metals, through chemical reactions, are broken down (“Corrosion,” 2008, paras. 1-2). The…

1. Summary: • BlueScope’s biggest steel factory in Australia----the Port Kembla Steelworks, is in serious economic trouble. The future of BlueScope Steel's Port Kembla plant is "on a knife edge”. • Weak demand, a global glut of cheap production, increased import competition and a stubbornly high Australian dollar are all incentives contribute to BlueScope’s dilemma. Among them, China’s cheap import is a key factor to bring pressure. • BlueScope’s top managers are considering layoffs to reduce…
development of Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS). The AHSS include Dual Phase (DP) steels, [1–10], High Strength Low Alloy steels (HSLA), Transformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) steels, Twinning Induced Plasticity (TWIP) steels, and medium manganese steels, (Bouaziz et al., 2013). The majority of the research are focused on the development of third generation of steels due to interest in the mechanical properties of high manganese steels. Only recently the TWIP steels have received…
Development of the steel industry was boosted by discovery of the Bessemer process. ("Second Industrial Revolution") Henry Bessemer and William Kelly drastically reduced the cost and time needed in producing steel from pig-iron. They found out that that blasting air through molten iron produced high quality steel. Steel was widely used in construction of buildings, because it provided good support for skyscrapers and tall towers. Cornelius Vanderbilt, an American entrepreneur who built his…

They accomplish this by using state of the art technology…
Properties of stainless steel • Corrosion resistant • Good tensile strength • Good low and high temperature service • Appearance • Hygienic • Has a respectable friction coefficient Corrosion resistant Stainless steel has a chromium-rich rust protective oxide thin film on the surface known as a passive layer, in which prevents corrosion by blocking oxygen diffusion to enter the passive layer and spreads rust into the internal material. As seen in Figure 1, stainless steel rather than forming a…
