iron and steel can be thought of alloys made of iron and carbon. Iron is basically extracted from natural ores – iron oxide (FeO). Iron oxide heated to high temperatures become iron. FeO + C → Fe + CO We get pig iron from this process which is not pure form and includes Iron carbide and material is made hard along with brittleness. CAST IRON Cast iron is produced by remelting pig iron with some amount of scrap iron. It is remelted by blowing air into the molten mass of two until the carbon content
Abstract The purpose of this project is to develop a technology, product, service, or process that emulates a natural system and addresses an area of global need. The project is intended to address an area of global need by improving the performance, reducing the demand for energy resources and/or reducing waste, emissions, and byproducts. For the project, a biomimicry design was considered to develop a tool that would be used to dig more efficiently and effectively in urban search and rescue.
How Steel Changed America By: Aiden, Landon, Michael, Sever, Trey There is perhaps no other invention in American history quite as important as steel. Steel is made of mostly iron, lime, and sometimes even scrap steel, but other metals can be added to make other types of steel. While there are many types of steel today, in industrial America, Carbon Steel was the most common form that was used. In fact, 80 to 90 percent of the steel produced was Carbon Steel. It proved stronger than iron and was
modern steel warships. This move lead to the great battleships of WWII and even the ships that fight today. The steel armor plating of these ships provides great strength and longevity that is needed for their jobs. Steel is one of the most popular materials in the world due to its high strength and low cost. It is used in many different objects and scenarios, from buildings, machines, and tools to weapons, vehicles, and of course, ships. Steel also has different types, whether it be carbon steel, alloy
Location: Piping loop including Weld and Heat affected zone areas Reason: H2S > 50wppm, Operating temperature intermittently at 60℃, non-PWHT, C-Mn steel Reference from API 571 (4) All these damages are due to absorption and permeation of hydrogen in steels. 1. “>50 wppm dissolved H2S in the free water promote- hydrogen blistering, HIC, SOHIC and SSC. An arbitrary value of 50 wppm H2S in the water phase is often used as the defining Concentration where wet H2S damage becomes a problem.” 2. “Blistering
Metals are widely use in industrial, economic growth and most importantly our daily life. Metals can be found in our car (steel), cell phones (gold, tin), computers (mercury, lithium), electrical wires (copper) and soda can (aluminium). But what is the prime factor that really determines the quality of
The Iron–Iron Carbide (Fe–Fe3C) Phase Diagram • In their simplest form, steels are alloys of Iron (Fe) and Carbon (C). • The Fe-C phase diagram is a fairly complex one, but we will only consider the steel part of the diagram, up to around 7% C b d Carbon. • Phases present α-ferrite, γ-ferrite, δ-ferrite, Fe3C (iron carbide or cementite) Fe-C liquid solution School of Mechanical and Building Sciences, VIT University, Vellore 1 Phases in Fe–Fe3C Phase Diagram α-ferrite

Introduction The use of secondary steelmaking techniques has made a major input to the optimisation of inclusion population for the control of modern steel properties. The development of new secondary steelmaking techniques was due to an increasing demand for improved and consistent qualities of high grade steels for chemical, petroleum, aerospace, and nuclear industries (Kiessling, 1989).( pg45). Secondary steelmaking includes provision for temperature control, bath agitation, efficient slag-metal
Steel has become a fundamental part of almost every aspect of our daily lives, and has played an essential role in the development of the modern urbanised world. Steel is a unique and versatile material. It touches almost every part of modern life. From infrastructure and transport, to energy delivery, from canned food and electronics to machinery and the simplest of everyday objects, such as needles, spoons, nuts and bolts. Almost everything around us, most of which we rarely, if ever notice, is
