EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In light with the modern industries, steel has been discovered to be the central supporting part of
most manufacturing industries or production industries. Steel is a relatively cheap and versatile
material used in the production of about every kind of good or machinery, and because of this
steel is vital in the modern style of living and for the economic well-being. Additionally, because
of the essential functions played by steel in general economic and infrastructural development,
the steel industry on the other hand has often been considered as an indicative for prowess of an
economy.
Steel can be categorised or called an alloy that is made up of mostly irons and has carbon content
with the weight ranging from 0.2% and 2.1% (C:1000–10,8.67Fe), though varies with the grade.
In line with this, an alloy is said to be an incomplete or complete solid solution of a single or
additional elements in a metallic matrix. Single solid phase microstructure are given by whole
firm solution of alloys, while the partial solution give two or more stages of development and
perhaps homogeneous in giving out depending on heat treatment (thermal) study of the past
events. Similarly, the properties of Alloy usually vary from that of the component elements and
the constituents of Alloys are usually measured by mass.
Jones and Michael (1986, 1992) in their research found that Carbon on the other hand, is the
most widely found or used alloying material for iron, though; manganese, vanadium, tungsten
and chromium are some of the various other alloying elements used in the production of steel.
The prevention of the displacements in the iron atom crystal lattice from moving by sliding past
one another is due to the action of the hardening agents, hence ...
...nished product.
Consequently, the semi-finished products will either have or be shaped like a rectangle cross-
section which is called slab or it will have an equilateral rectangle shape cross-section known as
blooms or billets. Further to this, the slabs or the billets or blooms are now processed and shaped
to form the finished product, because the semi-finished products are undergoes a total process of
transformation, or they are rolled into stylish and graceful container or products. This process of
transformation is called hot rolling and it’s a way whereby they go through heat treatment.
However, the hot-rolled rectangular broad flat thin piece is afterwards, turning over and over at a
temperature that is ambient and this process is called the cold rolling. After, going through all
these processes, an anti-corrosion protective material will be used to coat it.
