KNOW YOUR STEELS

SPECIAL ALLOY STEELS is a technical blog to help steel related industries and persons, working in Steel fields, to know and use technical term and data to day to day working and to ease their work and have better understanding with work practices.This blog is  still under construction.

STEEL PLANTS IN INDIA:- 

 There are many Steel Plants in India and other countries which are producing various types of steel.Steel is considered as the economy factor of any country and Black Gold ,also it is the most commonly used metal in every field for last 4000 years.
Arc Root Steel Plants:-   OPEN STOCKS 
Induction Root Steel Plants:-  OPEN STOCKS  

  Steel Related Terms:-
1.     Types of Steels:-
Structural  Steels, Automotive Parts Steels(Plain Carbon Steels),Gear Steels ,File Steels ,Heat Resistance Steels, Corrosions Resistant   Steels ,Free cutting Steels ,Spring Steels ,Ball  Bearing Steels ,Tool Steels, Stainless Steels , Die Steels, Cast Iron and SG Iron Steels . Steels are also classified as per their alloying elements present in them like, Low Carbon, Medium Carbon and High Carbon Steels, Chrome Steels, Nickel –Chrome Steels, Nickel-Chrome-Molybdenum Steel , Carbon-Manganese  Steels , Chrome-Manganese Steels ,Manganese-Molybdenum Steels, etc.
2.     Raw Material:-
Steel Scrap, Sponge Iron, Iron Ore ,Heavy Melting Scrap ,Ferro Alloys ,Fluxes, Pig Iron, C.I. Scrap ,Lime Stone, Calcined Lime ,CPC, Met Coke ,Pet Coke ,Graphite Powder , Refractory  ,Fire Bricks ,calcium silicide, Aluminum Wire, Aluminum  Bars, Aluminum Shots,  Redex , Ramming Mass,  etc.
3.     Plant ,Machinery and  Equipments:
Blast Furnace ,Arc Furnace, Induction Furnace ,Laddle , Moulds, Concast Machine ,Billet /Bloom Caster, Round Caster ,Slab Caster, Rolling Mill, Wire Rod Mill ,Cold Rolling Mill ,Sheet Rolling Mill ,Forging Press ,Forging Hammers ,Annealing Furnace ,Reheating Furnace ,Coal Gasifier ,Heat Treatment Furnace, Open Hammer ,Drawing Mill, Straightening  Machine ,Rotary Furnace, Bendsaw Machine ,CNC ,VMC ,Hot Dies, Rolling Mill Strands ,Rolls ,Moulds, Copula Furnace ,Blast Furnace ,Power Plant ,Sinter Plant ,Mines etc.
4.     Finished Products of Steel Plants:-
Billets ,Blooms , Slabes ,Plates, Ingots ,Forging Ingots ,Fluted Ingots ,TMT,TOR ,Rounds ,Squares, Round Corner Squares ,Hexagons, Octagones ,Flats ,Angles ,Channels ,Beams, Profile Shapes,Sheets,Forgings,Blocks,Rings.Shafts,Flanges,Blanks,Rolls,Pinions,Steel Castings ,Tubes, Pipes, Wire Rods, Strips, Coils, etc.


There are more than 4000 grades the Steel Industries are casting, rolling ,forging and manufacturing for various auto and heavy Engineering purpose. We have more than 28 years of experience in this field and experienced  these grades with their applications and  complaints in day to day life .                            
LENGTH OF ROLLED PRODUCT :-
Length of rolled product is calculated as per the requirement of the Parties ,its handling and Transportation.It also depends on the weigth of  Billet/Ingot and section which get rolled . For more information regarding the Length of rolled Product according to input weight of Billet/Ingot be seen in Calculation Page and Length of Rolled Product Page.

WEIGHT OF ROLLED PRODUCT PER METER AND PER INCH :-


Rolling of Steel Billets/Ingots is a special process to give shape in desire sections so that it can be cut into required weight and length to forge or machined to form final product used in many industries.These industries may be Agricultural, Auto ,Railways,Defense, Aerospace and other implements.Rolled Product's sectional weight are approximately given in Weight of Rolled Product Page and in Calculation Page.

PARTIES USING STEELS:-
There are various Parties using Steel for their purposes.list of such Parties in India is given in Parties using Steel Page.
FORGING UNITS:-
MACHINING UNITS:-
MANUFACTURERS:-
TRADING UNITS:-
EXPORT HOUSES:-


 CALCULATIONS:-

There are some calculations to be used in steel Manufacturing in day to day working and these calculations are based on my practical experiences and not to do with legal or theoretically  proved ,these are like

1. Length of Rolled Product.
2. Sectional  Weight per meter and per inch.
3. Jominy Value of Steel for its Hardenability.
4. Reduction Ratio of Rolled Section.
5.Liqidus Temperature of various Steel Grades.
6.Carbon Equivalent.
    These Calculation can be open by clicking the above links.


DEFECTS OF STEEL:-
There are various defects generated due to wrong steel making practices and after rolling,which can be categorized by the nature of defects.Some of  them are given below.
DEFECTS IN BILLETS/INGOTS:-
DEFECTS IN ROLLED PRODUCTS:-
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF STEELS:-
