In a time when modern production has become exposed to strict market demands, in terms of increasing quality, shortening the processing time and reducing the cost of the final product, laser processing has become a necessity in almost all manufacturing industries. Each laser manufacturer, including the Swiss company Bystronic, gives recommended cutting parameters for certain types of materials....

At present, with the adjustment of the structure of the steel industry, the steel logistics industry is also engaged in integrating. Steel logistics resource integration is an important problem to be solved. Based on previous research on steel logistics resource integration, this paper proposes a new research perspective on steel logistics resources integration: supply-demand network of steel l...

improvements in knowledge as well as technology and industrial workers’ exposure to adverse factors have caused more attention to be paid to the workers’ occupational health. according to the report by w.h.o., noise, as one of the most important physical factors of workplace, causes 4 million dollars health damage every day. noise can also reduce the workers’ morale as well as motivation and, c...

This paper measures the direct and indirect contribution made by iron and steel industry in the economy of China and assess the differences between China and other steel producing countries. With this aim in view, the input-output modelling is used to detect the industrial linkages known as backward and forward linkages of eight iron and steel producing countries, including China, USA, Japan, G...

T C teel remains one of the most important manufacturing industries in Indiana, and the dominant manufacturing industry in Northwest Indiana. The Chicago region continues to lead the U.S. in steel production, accounting for as much as 28% of the total output of steel in the country.1 Currently, steel mill employment accounts for nearly 10% of total employment in Northwest Indiana,2 compared wit...

Solid waste management in steel industry is broadly classified in “4 Rs” i.e. reduce, reuse, recycle and restore the materials. Reuse and recycling the entire solid waste generated in the process of steel making is a viable solution in targeting a clean, green and zero waste technology leading to sustainable development of the steel industry. Solid waste management has gained importance in stee...

In this chapter a particular image processing problem existing in quality assurance for steel industry is addressed. Since the quality standards in steel industry are ever increasing, even steel industry starts to use machine vision systems to monitor their product quality. In case of steel coils a particular figure of merit in quality is the roundness (ellipticity) or lack thereof of the coil....

background: noise is one of the most important hazardous physical factors in industrial environments. this study aimed to determine the effects of noise exposure on serum cortisol level and some blood parameters among male workers of a steel production company. methods: this cross-sectional study was conducted on 50 male workers in a steel production company. in order to assess the changes in b...

furnace division is one of the most polluted divisions ever known in the steel industry associated with several environmental pollutions. this study attempted to choose optimally, a pollution control system for dust emission from steel furnaces with the green and environmentally friendly approach. three electric smelting furnaces with 3, 6 and 12-ton output capacity were selected. the level of ...

environmental pollutions are in considerable attention in steel industries in iran, where mostly are located around isfahan. therefore, an investigation was done mainly on the industrial pollution and waste related to the isfahan steel complex. a plant was installed to collect the uncontrolled fumes, gases and particulates from blast furnace number ii during tapping. this plant collects about 2...
