The story of steel began from the fourth century BC, when human discovered iron. If we ever talk about purchasing the metal, then steel comes first in mind and most of the construction and engineering sector prefer to have as their construction of building. It has their several properties and steel offers some advantages also on its construction. Like, steel has a structural sound, high strength and steel is very durable metal. let me tell you how steel become such a popular choice for constructing any type of building of all shapes and size.
In history steel use as a constructing material and highly used by rich peoples and government for the construction of rail roads because steel was an expensive metal as the production of steel was really very tough and lot of time taking process.
Apart from rail roads it also used in making of watches, swords, and scythes.In recent times we use steel for many decorative purposes apart from making building, dishes and many more thing like this. But in earlier time, it was only used for the construction of building. After some time in early 1990s the production of steel become little bit and more efficient and the advanced technologies and techniques also made the quality of steel stronger. Steel production rapidly increase for about millions of tons per annually.
Metal is the one of the most useful material in whole world. In current situation the need of steel is too popular as it has strong strength and a shiny effect. Do you know that we are using steel in such way that it has become fourth most commonly used metal?
it is playing a very important role in country’s economy. Keep on reading our informative blogfor knowing how steel is producing in present time and how it will be going to produce in future. There are many methods of producing steel available which many different companies are using today for the production of steel. But there are two methods which most of the steel industry prefer to the production of steel. First method has named basic oxygen process and the another one is electric air furnaces. In basic oxygen process the combination of molten iron, scrap and raw material put in a hot blast furnace and this will create an exothermic reaction which carries out impurities like, carbon, silicon, manganese, and many more from the mixture. In earlier time it was not possible to produce steel by this process on a large scale because we don’t have pure oxygen on higher amount to perform this process. But now a days we have sufficient amount of pure oxygen for done this process.
Many steel industries found this process of producing steel very profitable because it has their several advantages like it require less labors and high production rate in a minimum time. Approx. 66 percent of steel industry love to prefer basic oxygen process for producing steel. Another process of steel production which is also very popular is electric air furnaces. This process was introduced in 20s century. In this process the method of producing steel is little bit different as their electricity pass out through the charge materials which help in heating the iron material about 1800 degree Celsius.
Electric air furnaces process is special perform for the production of steel which are going to be used in steel, rods, bars, wires and machines. One of the best advantages of doing this process for making steel is that we can stop this process anytime and again restart whenever we want which is not possible to do in basic oxygen process. There is another advantage of electric furnaces is that with the help of this process we can produce steel with 100 percent scraped material.
In current scenario there are many uses of steel in our day to day to life. We can use steel in all types of construction such as, stadium, railroads, tunnels, bridges as you can see right now the metro which is running in many countries in which most of the parts of the metro are made up of steel.
In recent time the production of steel is about 1808 million tons per annum. You can see as the technologies are becoming advance and there are many steel making companies are developing with their new and innovative ideas which will going to create a competitive market in steel industry. From which there are many possibilities that steel industry going to become more and more popular and if the industry become competitive then for sure the production rate of steel will also be going to increase in coming years.
The steel industry has become so popular over a last few year as it is cheap and steel is a metal which can be used in any form or for ay purpose like for giving a shiny look to building or gruels and also in decorative form. We can say that the steel is also playing important role in increasing the economic growth of country or you can also say that for making any country economically successful. Let me elaborate you how, because if the production of steel increase then new companies going to develop and it will give an employment to many unemployed peoples. As the needs of steel is increasing globally day by day. So, by 2050 steel production going to increase about 1.6 times or more from the present time. In today’s time approx. 50 percent of steel is using in household and construction industry. It is also familiar for the environment because it also help in sustainable development as it is renewable metal, we can use steel many time by recycling it.
