| The International Iron and Steel Institute (IISI) has published a landmark study of the current and future trends in the production of clean steel. |
The International Iron and Steel Institute (IISI) has published a landmark study of the current and future trends in the production of clean steel. The book contains an extensive literature survey as well as a benchmark study of the current clean steelmaking practices at IISI member companies. Clean Steel defines a milestone in the knowledge and practices relating to the cleanness of steels. Emphasis has been placed on cleanness with respect to oxide inclusions. The literature survey contains chapters on ladle operations, tundish metallurgy, flow control in the mould, modelling clean steelmaking and methods for determining oxide cleanness in steels. The benchmarking section covers various types of steels including ultra-low and low carbon steels, linepipe grades, and spring steels. Over 100 data sets were collected and analysed. The data sets cover 64 plants in 22 countries. Clean Steel has been written by a group of leading industrial experts from IISI member companies around the world. The group was chaired by Professor Klaus Wünnenberg formerly of Mannesmann Forschungsinstitut, Germany. Copies of the IISI Study on Clean Steel can be ordered from the IISI Bookshop at worldsteel.org. IISI Study on Clean Steel

About: International Iron and Steel Institute
The International Iron and Steel Institute (IISI) aims to establish steel as a major foundation of a sustainable world. For the world steel industry this means valuing the interdependence of environmental, social and economic aspects in all decision making, with the aim of improving life for everyone, now, and for generations to come. IISI was founded in 1967. It is a non-profit research organisation with headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. IISI is one of the largest and most dynamic industry associations and serves as a world forum for the international steel industry. A sustainable world steel industry could not be achieved without the active participation of IISI's membership. IISI currently has a membership of more than 115 steel producing companies and over 60 national and regional steel federations and steel research organisations. The members come from more than 50 countries around the world. The countries in which IISI member companies are located account for over three-quarters of total world steel production. Nearly all the world's major steel producers are members of the Institute. Both publicly and privately owned enterprises, using both basic oxygen or electric arc process routes, are members. |
