Long Products Volume

With the publication of the 10^th edition of The Making, Shaping and Treating of Steel in 1985, the Association of Iron and Steel Engineers assumed total responsibility for the future of this prestigious document from the U.S. Steel Corporation. In 1998, the Association of Iron and Steel Engineers transferred all rights to The Making, Shaping and Treating of Steel to The AISE Steel Foundation. Readers of the 11^th edition will obviously note the most dramatic change in technology and style of presentation since the book’s inception in 1919.

In 1995, The AISE Steel Foundation formed the MSTS Steering Committee to oversee the creation of the 11^th edition, and this committee looked out at a vastly different steel industry than that of the 10^th edition. Hence, a new publication concept was deemed necessary, and this concept had to be consistent with the massive changes in steel industry economics that had occurred during the 1980s and early 1990s. These changes were occasioned by restructuring, downsizing, and wholesale implementation of new and improved technology. In turn, these changes produced major increases in labor productivity, huge reductions in energy consumption, and vastly improved yields. Concomitant with these improvements, the steel marketplace saw the introduction of a host of new and improved products.

Given the backdrop of the industry’s transformation, the Steering Committee deemed a revision to the 10^th edition in its current format to be impractical, and therefore decided the 11^th edition would be a series of separate volumes dealing with specific subjects.

The separate volume concept was implemented by selecting Volume Chairpersons who were recognized as world leaders in their respective fields of technology. These leaders, in turn, recruited a team of top-notch authors to create the individual chapters. These expert authors came from individual steel companies, the steel industry supplier base, and several universities with close association with the steel industry. Thus, for the first time, the MSTS represents a broad and diverse view of steel technology as seen from various vantage points within industry and academe.

Despite all the changes to be found in the 11^th edition, the MSTS Steering Committee has held on to certain traditions. One such tradition has been to provide to a wide audience (or readership) within the steel industry a basic reference containing the current practices and latest technology used in the making, shaping, and treating of steel. The primary readership targets are university students (technical knowledge), steel producers (training and technology implementation), and customers and suppliers (technical orientation and reference). As noted by the author of the 1st edition in 1919, “the book was written for…(those)…who are seeking self-instruction.” The 11^th edition attempts to maintain that tradition by incorporating technical information at several different levels of complexity and detail, thereby offering information of value to a wide-ranging readership.

Ironmaking Volume (Now available.) - Table of Contents

This volume covers the spectrum of the ironmaking process. Commencing with a description of the history of ironmaking, it includes expanded sections on the process of ironmaking and the latest equipment, concluding with an in-depth review of alternative ironmaking processes. Updated fundamental concepts are balanced with useful rules of thumb.

The Ironmaking Volume of the 11^th Edition will provide more than twice the information than the previous edition.

Steelmaking and Refining Volume (Now available.) - Table of Contents

The steel industry has significantly increased productivity and quality in the decade since the publication of the 10th edition of The Making, Shaping and Treating of Steel. This advancement has resulted from a number of factors, including improved processes and increased understanding of fundamentals.

This volume, (the first of five in a series) focusing entirely on steelmaking and refining processes, emphasizes the important developments that contributed to these improvements and certainly will lead to further improvements. In particular, the chapters on EAF steelmaking and ladle and secondary refining have been greatly expanded. The chapters on BOF and AOD steelmaking have been updated and expanded, and the chapter on fundamentals has been updated to reflect current understanding.

The Steelmaking and Refining Volume of the 11th edition now has over twice the material on steelmaking and refining processes as compared to the previous edition.

Casting Volume (In Writing) - Table of Contents

This volume will focus on all issues related to the operation of a continuous caster. Emphasis will be placed upon the fundamental issues that allow proper machine design and operation. This volume will be the first comprehensive treatment of ingot and continuous casting in The Making, Shaping and Treating of Steel and will cover all aspects of billet, bloom, thin and thick slab casting. Significant attention will be paid to: the caster operational practices which can lead to defect formation; the metallurgical fundamentals that govern casting; the inter-relationship between the caster, steelmaking and rolling; grade effects on casting; the importance of maintenance; design of the various casters; and potential future casting processes. It is anticipated that this volume will be useful to all people interested in casting and it will be a companion to the volume on Steelmaking and Refining.

Flat Products Volume (Postponed) 

This volume concentrates on manufacturing of flat rolled products including plate and sheet materials. Emphasis is on mechanical processing to produce both hot and cold rolled products. Significant new material has been added to update information presented in previous editions. New chapters on modeling of both the deformation process and microstructural evolution during rolling are included along with new information on inspection methods, defect analysis, and special processing methods. It is anticipated that the reader will utilize this volume as a companion to the volume on long products.

Long Products Volume (Postponed) 

This volume will focus on the production of long products in today’s steel industry. Emphasis will be placed on the fundamentals of plastic working, proper preparation of the materials, and on the physical equipment needed for the production of bars, tubes, special shapes and wire. Information will also be presented on inspection and analysis of defects and failures.
