came the use of obsidian, the sharpest material on the planet, it micro bevel width was as small as 2 nanometers, that’s small enough to sever molecules themselves in the skin. And in some countries it is still used as scalpels in hospitals. Later Steel became the main use for spear heads, forging a spear head although was not easy. It would start with some high carbon, low carbon, and pure iron into a crucible, that was capped off with a clay cap, completely sealed from oxygen. Then is put on…

ranks at the company until becoming the secretary for the superintendent. His many trips to England brought his eye to steel which would later become an essential product for cities to grow. He created his own steel company in 1872 in the U.S. which made steel using the Bessemer steelmaking process from England which made steel efficiently allowing his company to expand. Carnegie’s steel company…

Under his leadership, Nucor has acquired compatible existing steel manufacturing facilities with similar operating philosophies. Since 2007, Nucor has made the two biggest acquisitions in its history, one to help control its raw material supply and the other to expand its product line. In January 2007, Nucor agreed to pay $1.07 billion dollars for Canada’s Harris Steel Co. The deal allowed Nucor to expand its presence in the type of steel used to build bridges, highways and other…

Industrialization in America could not have been achieved with a few key factors. Among these are the rich environment in America, a sympathetic and supportive government that remains deferential to private ownership, talented business leaders, railroads, and technology. The mineral deposits in the land as well as the presence of business visionaries like Andrew Carnegie were equally important in the overarching success of the American Industrial Revolution. Andrew Carnegie’s ability to…

and Safety 18. References Low Carbon Steel Low carbon steel is the most common form of steel with a low cost price while it provides material properties that are required for many applications. Low carbon steel contains a low carbon content and is therefore it is neither extremely brittle nor ductile. When heated, it becomes malleable and so can be forged. Low carbon steel is a very dense metal and has tensile strength has a max of 500 MPa. Low carbon steel has 0.3% carbon which makes it one…

The turnaround case scenario on Arvind Mills: History: Arvind (ARVND), established in 1931 as Arvind Mills Ltd, the flagship of the Lalbhai group, is the largest textile company in India. It was the first to introduce the globally accepted fabric, denim, to India in 1986. Currently, Arvind is the leading manufacturer of denim, with a manufacturing capacity of 108mmt (Million Metric Ton) p.a. Company is also the largest producer of textile fabrics in India making shirting, voiles, khakis and…

Abstract Thermo-mechanic treatment consists in utilization of two classic technological proceedings. This type of treatment was applied to the studied high-speed steel (HS2-9-1-8). The made tests wanted to establish the influence on the hardness and wear of the high-temperature thermo-mechanical treatment (HTTMT) applied to studied steel. The application of an additional plastic deformation (the deformation degree between 45 – 75%) influences positive the hardness and wear value. Being a HTTMT,…

1. Introduction Mining is the extraction of minerals from the earth surface that are of economic value, extraction is done by people and machines. While mechanisation is expensive and reliable it also has limitation. Employment of men only in the mining industry was seen as an inequality which led to women taking part in the mining industry. Although historical analysis had the perception that women are not fit enough to go underground and laws were passed on to support the exclusion of women…

Carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) are very strong. It is the plastic in the CFRP that gives it its tensile strength and the carbon fibre that gives it its toughness. When compared to steel they are up to ten times as strong. CFRP has a tensile strength of around 7500MPa whereas a high carbon steel has a tensile strength of 650MPa (P.Groover 2011: 270). Tensile strength is how resistant a material is to breaking down under tension, this is important in a vehicle body as the body will always…

1.0 Introduction A wire is defined as a single, flexible strand or rod of metal which is typically cylindrically-shaped. The core applications of wire, both single- or multi-stranded wire, are to withstand or carry mechanical loads in construction sector, whereas in electrical and electronic field are used to transmit electricity and telecommunications signals. For examples, from view of construction, wires are either braided or fixated together to form a bundle of strands, namely…
