Iron and steel: Intro (Higgins 11.1)
EMMAT101A Engineering Materials and Processes
Since the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the material wealth and power of a nation has depended largely upon its ability to make steel.
Every new country ramping up into industrialisation begins by focussing on steel production – Britain and Europe, then US then USSR then Japan and Korea, and the lastest example China…
The last few decades of Asian development have been good for Australia’s mining industry.

China now dominates steel production – almost half the world’s production!

Smelting (Higgins 11.2)
EMMAT101A Engineering Materials and Processes
Blast Furnace turns iron ore to pig iron, which has too much carbon. This is removed in later process such as oxygen process, to make steel.

Smelting (Higgins 11.2)
EMMAT101A Engineering Materials and Processes
Despite research on 'direct reduction' of iron ore, the blast furnace still dominates iron production. The thermal efficiency of the blast-furnace is very high, also helped by injection of oil or pulverised low-cost coal to reduce the amount of expensive metallurgical coke consumed.
A blast furnace runs non-stop for several years (life of the lining) since it is quite a procedure to stop and start it.
However, a typical blast-furnace releases about 6600 tonnes of carbon dioxide every day. Hebei province accounts for a quarter of the China's
total steel production capacity

Steel-making (Higgins 11.3)
EMMAT101A Engineering Materials and Processes
Converting pig iron to steel is done by oxidation of impurities, so that they form a slag which floats on the surface of the molten steel or are lost as fume.
Corus Steel (UK)Description of steel making processes
The Bessemer process 1856 brought steel to the masses. That process is now obsolete. The open-hearth process followed but modern processes are basic oxygen processes (1952) or in the electric-arc furnace.

Steel-making (Higgins 11.3)
EMMAT101A Engineering Materials and Processes
Plain-carbon steels: less than 1.7 % C. Ordinary steels: up to 1.0 % Mn (left over from a deoxidisation process that slightly increases strength and hardness, and reduces sulphur content of the steel.Both sulphur and phosphorus are extremely harmful impurities which give rise to brittleness in steels. Usually specify max 0.05% S and Ph, and high quality steels no more than 0.04%. (or as low as 0.002% in modern steel for pipelines).
The majority of steel is mild steel and low-carbon steel forstructural work, none of which is heat-treated except for stress relief.

Cementite (Higgins 11.4.1)
EMMAT101A Engineering Materials and Processes
Ordinarily carbon in steel exists as iron carbide (cementite). Cementite is very hard. So increasing carbon content increases the hardness of the steel.
Cementite is actually an intermetallic compound in steel alloys with the chemical formula Fe3C. This phase has a specific chemical formula, unlike most phases which have ranges of chemical composition. Cementite is hard and brittle.

The Iron-Carbon equilibrium diagram over a very small range of Carbon (0 to 2% by weight, or 0 to 7% by atoms)
This is as much carbon as steel can handle before it turns into cast iron, and then into useless rock.
This diagram will meet you again soon (not today).

0.4 % C
EMMAT101A Engineering Materials and Processes
These then are the main stages in the foregoing process of solidification and cooling of the 0.4 per cent carbon steel:1 Solidification is complete at Si and the structure consists of uniform austenite.2 This austenite begins to transform to ferrite at Ui, the upper critical temperature of this steel (about 825°C).3 At 723°C (the lower critical temperature of all steels), formation of primary ferrite ceases, and, as the austenite is now saturated with carbon, the eutectoid pearlite is produced as alternate layers of ferrite and cementite.4 Below 723°C, there is no further significant change in the structure.

Normalising (Higgins 11.6.1)
EMMAT101A Engineering Materials and Processes
The main purpose in normalising is to obtain a structure which isuniform throughout the work-piece, and which is free of any 'locked-up'stresses.

Brittle Fracture in Steels (Higgins 11.7)
EMMAT101A Engineering Materials and Processes
Ferrite is very susceptible to brittle fracture at low temperatures, especially below the transition temperature.
This transition temperature can be depressed to a safe limit by increasing the manganese content to about 1.3%.
For use at even lower temperatures, it is better to use a low-nickel steel.
