Magnetic Lifting Devices Magnetic lifting devices are used for lifting and transporting of steel and ferrous metal stock or manufactured components. They are normally installed and used as single magnets or as arrangements of multiple magnets. In all of these cases, they are suspended from chains or wires or otherwise attached to the lifting equipment …
Read MoreBriquetting Process and Use of Binders During the various stages of iron and steel production, a number of iron bearing waste by-products are generated. These waste by-products cannot be recycled back as such because of their fine particle size, hence the waste by-products need to be agglomerated. Further, in the present day scenario, stringent statutory …
Read MoreCoke Oven Machines Coke oven machines are an integral part of any coke oven battery. These machines charge the ovens with the coal feedstock, push the coke from the ovens after coking, and feed it to the coke quenching process. In recent times, coke oven machines are acquiring a more prominent role in the coke …
Read MoreTundish Powder During continuous casting of steel, liquid steel is poured from ladle to tundish where its flow is divided to each strand of the continuous casting machine. The role of the tundish is not only to act as the dispenser of the liquid steel, but also it is the last major reactor where refining …
Read MoreBelt Conveyor Idlers Belt conveyor idlers are the rollers which are used at certain spacing for supporting the active as well as return side of the conveyor belt. Accurately made, rigidly installed and well maintained idlers are very important for smooth and efficient running of a belt conveyor. Important requirements for idlers are proper support …
Read MoreLow Alloy Steels Alloying elements are added in the steels for various reasons which include improved corrosion resistance and / or improved mechanical properties at low or elevated temperatures. Alloying elements are also used to improve the hardenability of quenched and tempered steel. The term ‘alloy steel’ is used for those steels which have got …
Read MoreHot Work Die Steel Hot work die steels find their use in hot forming processes. Hot forming processes are among the oldest and most important metal forming processes and accounts for a large percentage of metal products. Hot metal forming consists of a forming process either by plastic deformation or solidification where the metal is …
Read MoreHigh Speed Steels High speed steels forms a special class of highly alloyed tool steels, combining properties such as high hot hardness and high wear resistance. These are so named mainly because of their ability to machine materials at high cutting speeds. These steels have been widely adopted as the most basic material for cutting …
Read MoreCladding of steels There are several industries, such as, chemical and fertilizer industries, nuclear and steam power plants, food processing, and petrochemical industries etc., where corrosive environments are inevitable. Several process equipment / engineering components are exposed to the corrosive environment in these industries which reduces their service life. In such applications, materials (like duplex …
Read MoreFinished Steel Products Produced in Steel Plants Steel plants produce a large number of finished steel products. The steel products are produced in mild steel, in plain carbon steel, in micro alloy steel, in low alloy steel, or in high alloy steel quality. These steel products can be broadly divided into four categories namely (i) …
