ALLOY STEELS I. A. ALLOYING ELEMENTS Any metallic element added during the making of steel for the purpose of increasing corrosion resistance‚ hardness‚ or strength. The metals used most commonly as alloying elements in stainless steel include chromium‚ nickel‚ and molybdenum. Characteristic of alloying elements Very important elements for alloy steels are manganese‚ nickel‚ chromium‚ molybdenum‚ vanadium‚ tungsten‚ silicon‚ copper‚ cobalt and boron. All commercial steels contain 0‚3-0

U.S. Steel industry. What conclusion can you draw from this? Degree of Rivalry: Mini mills were being used by the foreign competition which mean they were able to produce steel at less expensive rates passing that on ot their customers. Barriers to entry: Starting in the 1970’s since there were no trade barriers companies overseas were able to manufacture and sell steel for a much lower price here in the United States therefore affecting companies domestically. Supplier power: Once steel became

Competition from substitutes Increasing substitutes in the form of plastics‚ aluminum and advanced composites. 2. Threat of Entry High barriers to entry in the integrated mill segment. However‚ with the mini-mills‚ the barriers are being lowered due to lower costs (a tenth of those in the integrated mills per ton of steel produced). 3. Competition from rivals Highly competitive since products are

BALIGA Steel Wars: A Battle for the Future of American Steel In late 2001 the United States Trade Representative (USTR) submitted a request to the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) to determine if the U.S. steel industry was seriously injured or threatened with serious injury as a result of recent increases in steel imports to the United States. This request was submitted under Section 201 of the Trade Act of 1974. The request followed months of petitioning by the U.S. steel industry

Carbon steel is steel in which the main interstitial alloying constituent is carbon in the range of 0.12–2.0%. The American Iron and Steel Institute(AISI) defines carbon steel as the following: "Steel is considered to be carbon steel when no minimum content is specified or required for chromium‚cobalt‚ molybdenum‚ nickel‚ niobium‚ titanium‚ tungsten‚ vanadium or zirconium‚ or any other element to be added to obtain a desired alloying effect; when the specified minimum for copper does not exceed 0
