This paper introduces a new assessment technique to monitor the quality of coated steel sheet surfaces, mainly used in the construction industry, e.g. as cladding for commercial buildings, external surface composite panels or even domestic applications, so clearly the visual appearance is critical. Normally, these types of steel sheets are coil coated onto steel strips. After curing the coating...

Background: A high prevalence of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is observed amongst employees in the steel manufacturing industry. Objective: To determine the prevalence of NIHL and current noise abatement techniques implemented at a steel manufacturing plant. Methods: Structured questionnaires were completed by permanent employees at a steel-manufacturing plant for the purpose of collecting...

Carbon steels are widely used in the oil and gas industry from downhole tubing to transport trunk lines. Microbes form biofilms, some of which cause the so-called microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of carbon steels. MIC by sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) is often a leading cause in MIC failures. Electrogenic SRB sessile cells harvest extracellular electrons from elemental iron oxidati...

The second release of the CIMsteel Integration Standards (CIS/2) has been endorsed by the American Institute of Steel Construction as the standard for the electronic exchange of structural steel project information for the North American steel design and construction industry. Derived from the deliverables and experiences of the Pan-European Eureka CIMsteel Project and published by the Steel Co...

Abstract—Corrosion inhibitors are widely used in concrete industry to reduce the corrosion rate of steel rebar which is present in contact with aggressive environments. The present work aims to using Zamzam water from well located within the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia 20 m (66 ft) east of the Kaaba, the holiest place in Islam as corrosion inhibitor for steel in rain water and simula...

The optimal material processing in steel industry is difficult because of the multi-constituent and multiphase character of the commercial steels, variety of the possible processing paths, and plant specific equipment characteristics. This paper shows implementation of the genetic programming approach for crack presence modeling after rolling. The data (110 samples covering 7 different steel gr...

On the basis of analyzing the present situation of iron industry and related literature, points were put out that iron industry in China is now in a dilemma, and social responsibility is default. Then analysis of the relationship between green manufacturing and corporate social responsibility is done. Taking Jinan Steel and Iron Group Corporation for an example, changes are compared from many a...

the implementation of economic projects by targeting the subsidies can have a great effect on the costcompetitiveness of the industries and their products. the global steel industry has been considered as a basickey industry in the industrialized countries. it is also among the industries that may be seriously affected by theenforcement of subsidies. this industry, requiring energy and high-tec...
