What Shaped the Modern Steel Processing Industry? The development of steel can be traced back to the beginning of the Iron Age, roughly 550 B.C.E., when iron began to displace bronze in weaponry and tools because it was stronger and harder. The invention of steel came about when early metallurgists discovered that iron becomes more durable [...]
The steel slitting process involves taking large coils of rolled steel (main or master coils) and creating smaller coils by slitting the sheet to two or more strands. It is typically the final step in steel processing and sets the final dimensions of the steel coils for manufacturing. This process begins at the uncoiler, where the [...]
In order to achieve the demand for a steel with higher strength while retaining its formability. Advanced high strength steels (AHSS) were developed during mid-1990’s. Early efforts to obtain lighter weight and enhanced crash performance in vehicles were aimed at the development of high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel but AHSS has become [...]
The Dynamism of the Steel Industry 200-foot-tall turbines on the high seas, a millimetrically sharp surgical tool on an operation table, roller coaster tracks in a Disney theme park: these are just some of the things that require the extreme strength and durability of steel. This great metal, a builder of society, has found itself [...]
