Macro-Environment Nucor Corporation is the largest manufacturer of steel and steel products in North America. The worldwide industry in which Nucor competes had record years of crude steel production in 2010 and 2011. Steel making capacity worldwide was approximately 2,090 million tons in 2011, resulting in a 2011 capacity utilization rate of 80 percent versus just 75 percent in 2010. The demand for steel mill products had grown 5.5 percent annually since 2000, but between 2000 and 2011 there have

Issues concerning Tata Steel Tata Steel: A Global Entity Tata Steel is a truly global company with a well established presence not only in India but around the world in large economies as well as emerging economies.. In the year 2013, it was the 11th largest steel producing company in the world and the second largest steel company in India (measured by domestic production) after the State run entity- Steel Authority of India Limited. The 4 core economic issues that Tata Steel must factor in its decision

Cast Iron and Steel Composition, Microstructure and Classification Cast Iron and Steel are ferrous alloys – means iron is their prime constituent. In cast iron the carbon content is higher than steel. In most of the cast irons carbon exists as graphite. Graphite formation is regulated by the composition and rate of cooling. Silicon concentration greater than about 1 wt% and slower cooling rates during solidification of liquid cast iron favor graphitization. On the other hand, steels are iron-carbon

simple approach to succeeding in the industry of steel. At its mini mills, Nucor produces hot- and cold-rolled steel, steel joists, and metal buildings. It has the capability to produce more than 26 million tons of steel a year. Being one of North America’s largest recycler of scrap metal, it produces steel by melting scrap in electric arc furnaces. Most products are sold to steel service centers, manufactures, and fabricators. Subsidiary Harris Steel fabricates rebar for highways and bridges and other

Tata Steel acquired Corus Group in April 2007 for £6.2bn. Tata Steel is India’s largest private sector steel company with 2005/06 revenues of US$5.0 billion and crude steel production of 5.3 million tons across India and South-East Asia. Corus Group is Europe's second largest steel producer with annual revenues of over £9.2 billion and a crude steel production of 18.2 million tons in 2005. This is an interesting acquisition as the acquired company was almost four times the size of the acquirer in

Internal Analysis of Tata Steel Strengths of Tata Steel Abundant Resources of iron ore: Tata Steel has abundant resources of iron ore in India and across the world too in various other countries. They have mines at four locations in India at Noamundi, Joda , Khondbond, Katamati. All these mines are located in Jharkhand and Odisha. Noamundi is a world class open cast ore mine equipped with latest technology. Apart from these Tata Steel has iron ore projects in Canada, Mozambique, South Africa

Glance on Stainless Steel Eye Bolts Stainless Steel eye bolts can be used as the anchor points or connection elements. An Eye Bolt is a fastener with an eye at one end to attach a hook or ring to it, while the other end contains the threaded end of a screw. Eye bolts are used to secure a cable, wire, or chain to some other object. As per the functionality, eye bolts feature a welded or forged construction. In a forged bolt, the eye at the top is designed by twisting a steel piece forming a loop

four major grades of stainless steel manufactured for various applications. The most commonly used stainless steel in any home or business is 316 Stainless Steel Plates for utilization in different industries today. This subcategory for 300-grade steel means that the level of chromium in the overall steel composition is higher making it more resistant to corrosion without the use of other organic sealants. The high degree of chromium mixed with oxygen gives stainless steel the natural barrier against

Abstract: Tempering is an important heat treating process, which is used to increase the toughness of steels after quenching process. Hollomon-Jaffe equation H=T(c+log⁡t ) is widely used to predict hardness with different tempering temperature and tempering time. T is the tempering temperature, t is the tempering time and c is the constant for the specific steel. The physical explanation of c constant was not clear. In this paper, the hardness and c/a ratio of tempered martensite for AISI 4140 were

China exported 5564700 tons of steels to Korea, down 60.10% year on year. The proportion to total steel export volume was 22.62%m down 0.94% compared with 2008 (Cheng, 2009). In 2009, among top 10 countries to which China exported steels, the ranking of Vietnam, India, Thailand and Singapore ascended, compared with 2008. America and United Arab Emirates with sharp rise in the export volume fell to the 4th place and the 9th place in 2009 from the 2nd place and the 5th place in 2008. Indonesia and
