We like to stay up to date with steel industry news, and share the top steel news articles that catch our eye. This November we looked at stories and updates in the steel industry from a variety of the top industry and news outlets on the web.
Demand for Iron Ore Falls - Bloomberg
Dark Clouds On Steel - Business Standard
We appreciate the contributions that civil engineers make to the steel industry. There would be little demand for our products such as steel bars and cold drawn steel wire without advances in civil engineering. That is why we look to the young and bright student engineers for inspiration. We noticed that many university engineering students partake in Steel Bridge Competitions, and we wanted to recognize and complement their efforts.
In the production of steel products, steel is molded and reshaped with different machinery at different temperatures. One of the steel manufacturing processes is steel rolling, which involves metal stock passing through a pair of rolls. Rolling produces flat steel sheets of a specific thickness, and the process is classified according to the temperature at which the metal is rolled.
Natural disasters have horrific and devastating effects. They can tear apart homes, our places of employment, schools; all while ripping holes in families, communities and our most cherished memories. No matter when or where a natural disaster has occurred, the destruction can be felt as if it happened yesterday. With the various natural disasters that have recently occurred around the world, it is heartbreaking to think of all the people who have been affected.
As we are prone to do, we like to share some of the top steel news articles currently making headlines. This month we take a look at a variety of subjects as covered by some of the top industry and general news outlets on the web.
March Steel Product Imports - Bloomberg
Q & A w/ B Muthuraman - Business Standard
We’ve thus far concluded that steel is necessary in infrastructure, transportation, economics and efforts in sustainability. It also plays a significant role in keeping the world healthy and disease-free, as well as attracting tourists to the most entertaining destinations on earth. Here are reasons five and six to further explain steel as an irreplaceable ingredient in our lives.
1. The world would experience a rampant plague

Aside from the fact that buildings and bridges would crumble in an instant, the absence of steel in society would have a tremendous effect on worldwide sustainability and economics. Check out reasons three and four in our blog series for even more steel-centrality evidence.
3. The world economy would suffer
Economy
What would it take for civilization on Earth to collapse in an instant? A nuclear explosion? A raging and incurable worldwide epidemic? A surprise black hole capable of swallowing the sun? Possibly. Yet, what if something seemingly less catastrophic forced civilization to an end? What if steel became nonexistent? The effects wouldn’t seem to be as cataclysmic as the disappearance of the sun; still, we would suffer devastating corollaries if steel was absent from our planet. Civilization would collapse—and not just literally.
