Steel manufacturing

Siemens s process A method of steel manufacture by addition of scrap metal, iron oxides and ferromanganese to molten pig (cast) iron. 

Very large quantities of oxygen are used in steel manufacture (p. 392). Other important uses include organic oxidation reactions the oxidation of ethene CH2=CH2 to epoxyethane, CH2—CHj, is of... 

Because C-curves are determined by quench-hold-quench sequences they can, strictly speaking, only be used to predict the micro structures that would be produced in a steel subjected to a quench-hold-quench heat treatment. But the curves do give a pretty good indication of the structures to expect in a steel that has been cooled eontinuously. For really accurate predictions, however, eontinuous eooling diagrams are available (see the literature of the major steel manufacturers). 

Fabrication and Erection. Embrittlement problems associated with forming, welding and heat treatment are included in this section, although in some instances the heat treatment is done by the steel manufacturer. 

Air emissions from steel manufacturing using the BOF may include PM (ranging from less than 15 kg/t to 30 kg/t of steel). 

Most of the hydrocarbon emissions from iron and steel facilities are not captured by TRI. The EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards has compiled air pollutant emission factors for determining the total air emissions of priority pollutants (e.g., total hydrocarbons, SO, NO, CO, particulates, etc.) from many iron and steel manufacturing sources.

Although the containment dike was large enough to hold the entire contents of the lank, the lank ruptured so suddenly that a torrent of 3.8 million gallons generated a wave of oil Uiat splashed over the embankment. The tank, 56 feel high and 120 feet in diameter, was erected in 1986 on a newly enlarged concrete foundation that previously had supported a smaller receptacle. The tiuik was constructed of steel 40 years old, which presumably contains less carbon and was more brittle lh ui steel manufactured more recently. 

Steel. Steel shall conform to one of the applicable ASTM specifications referred to by applicable AISC specifications. Other steels not covered by these specifications may be used provided that the chemical and physical properties conform to the limits guaranteed by the steel manufacturer. Structural steel shapes having specified minimum yield less than 33,000 psi shall not be used. Certified mill test report or certified reports of tests made in accordance with ASTM A6 and the governing specification shall constitute evidence of conformity with one of the specifications listed. 

Improvements in process and quality control made significant contributions to the transition from iron to steel as the major ferrous construction material over a century and a half ago. For most of that time red lead was relied upon, and not without a remarkable degree of success, as the rust-inhibitive pigment in anti-corrosive paints. In the last twenty years, however, there has been a similar dramatic change from such simple paints as red lead to synthetic polymer coatings which have as complex a technology as steel manufacture itself. 

This serendipitous discovery marked the beginning of the synthetic dyestuffs industry, based on coal tar as its main raw material, which is, incidentally, a waste product from another industry, steel manufacture. The development of mauveine was followed by efficient syntheses of natural dyes such as alizarin in 1869 (Graebe and Liebermann, 1869), and indigo in 1878 (Bayer, 1878 Heumann, 1890). The synthetic production of these dyes marked the demise of the agricultural production of these materials and the advent of a science-based, predominantly German chemical industry. The present-day fine chemicals and specialties, e.g. pharmaceuticals, industries developed largely as spin-offs of this coal tar-based dyestuffs industry.

Among all the metals listed in Table 7.6, the MFE for the production of secondary tin is as much as 91% of the MFE for the production of primary tin. This unusual situation arises from the fact that tinned steel contains only 0.2-0.3% tin, and the processing of this source involves dissolution of the tin in a caustic solution, followed by an energy-intensive electrowinning operation to obtain metallic tin. An advantage is that the detinned steel scrap is suitable for steel manufacture.
