competitive forces impacting U.S. steel producers in general and the producers like Nucor that make new steel products via recycling scrap steel in particular? Please do a five-forces analysis Rivalry among Steel Producers There is a fierce competitive force in this industry. Rivalry revolves heavily around price competition because most steel products are commodities. Producing steel of satisfactory quality is most producers are familiar with. In a commodity market like steel‚ it is hard to distinguish

History of Iron and Steel I have researched the origin of hot metal cars for many years. In the very early years of iron production and later steel production historical is sketchy at best. Almost in plant equipment was built on sight and sometimes no drawings were used. The ability of American fabricators in the late 1700 and the 1800 amazes me. A case in point is Otto Mears a German immigrant that built most of the three foot gauge railroads in the Colorado Rockies. He had a third grade education

user friendly and reduce the space that a conditioner occupies. Stainless steel is the main metal used due to its durability. Copper and aluminum are used for tubing. Stainless steel is an improvement from plastic due to its non corrosion abilities. It is also durable in comparison with traditional materials like plastic. Copper or Aluminum tubing are preferred due to the suitable thermal properties of the two metals. The steel made air conditioners are relatively light; this has enabled construction

industrial products. It is hard‚ wearresistant‚ and relatively inexpensive. Like steel‚ it is available in many different grades and compositions. While we usually think of cast iron as being brittle (having low ductility)‚ this is not true of all cast irons‚ as we shall see shortly. Cast iron‚ like steel‚ is an iron-carbon alloy. In composition and structure‚ and in some of its properties‚ it is quite different from steel. While many grades of cast iron can be welded successfully‚ not all cast iron

Theory What is rust? Rust is the common name of a compound‚ iron oxide. Iron oxide‚ the chemical Fe2O3‚ is common because iron combines very readily with oxygen -- so readily‚ in fact‚ that pure iron is only rarely found in nature. Iron (or steel) rusting is an example of corrosion -- an electrochemical process involving an anode (a piece of metal that readily gives up electrons)‚ an electrolyte (a liquid that helps electrons move) and a cathode (a piece of metal that readily accepts electrons)
