The European response to the challenge of the Japanese steel industry (1950–1980)
Business History, 2015Co-Authors: Pablo Díaz-morlán, Miguel A. Sáez-garcíaAbstract:AbstractBetween 1950 and 1980, the European delay with respect to Japan and the relative loss of competitiveness in the integrated steel industry was due to an institutional, geographical and economic logic based largely on historical factors. Europe had a long steel-making history that was closely related to its sources of raw materials. The new technological paradigm turned this former advantage into a clear disadvantage, while the large investments made in the Thomas and Open Hearth processes and the affordable price of scrap delayed the adoption of the Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) until its superiority had been clearly demonstrated. The European steel industry was not at the forefront of the transformation, but merely adapting to the changes, pushed by the threat of a new uncomfortable competitor.

Increased life for Open-Hearth furnace roof lining
'Springer Science and Business Media LLC', 2013Co-Authors: Slovikovskii V., Gulyaeva A.Abstract:Reasons are studied for the short life of sprung-suspended roofs of Open-Hearth furnaces and refractory objects are developed with reduced thermal conductivity and a special hook. During refractory laying a shrinkage-free high-temperature laying mortar is used. OAO Nizhnyi Tagil' Metallurgical Combine organizes industrial output of the refractories developed. Industrial testing is carried out in Open-Hearth furnace arched roofs of OAO Nizhnyi Tagil' Metallurgical Combine (NTMK) and ZAO Nizhnyi Sergi Metalware and Metallurgical Plant (NMMZ). According to test results the increase in roof life is 20 - 30%, and the economic effect for two Open-Hearth furnaces is 4,656 million rubles per year. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York

Efficient lining for steel-pouring ladles
'Springer Science and Business Media LLC', 2013Co-Authors: Slovikovskii V., Gulyaeva A.Abstract:An analysis was made of the reasons for the short service life of the lining of steel-pouring ladles and malfunctions of fountains used for bottom-pouring. A high-temperature adhesive was developed and the most chemically stable refractory materials were chosen for it. The operating regime of steel-pouring ladles in the Open-Hearth shop at the Revda Hardware-Metallurgical Plant (in Revda) was studied, and based on the study results the shop replaced its fireclay bricks with MKRAP refractories. The authors used those results to also develop a mortar that has increased the life of the lining 30-50%. Use of the highly stable high-temperature adhesive in fountains has reduced metal loss during bottom-pouring operations. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York
