About the site
Our site is for those, who is professionally engaged in ferrous metallurgy, students and engineers, theorists and practitioners, of all, who somehow works with steels and cast irons.
Thousands of scientists and engineers around the world are developing new technologies and new steel grades, new processing methods and new applications.
Purpose of the site - to make the best foreign technical information about steel and its application available in Russian.
Sources of information for our articles - these are university textbooks, scientific journals, monographs, practical guides, work instructions, thesis, standards and other technical documents.

Knife hardening: carbon steel and alloy steel
Knife blades can be made of high carbon steel, and from low-alloy. Usually knife blades are hardened. The result of hardening these -

Pig iron production: chemistry and physics
Primary pig iron is produced in blast furnaces by reducing iron oxides to metallic iron. The conditions in these ovens are as follows, what iron
