RESEARCH IN IRON AND STEEL AT THE TURNING POINT OF TECHNICO-ECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCES.

To study how researchers should proceed with their research in these days when circumstances surrounding the steel industry are at the turning point, the present status and future course of major phases of iron and steel production, such as ironmaking-steelmaking-rolling-and powder metallurgy processes are analyzed. A study was also made about the trend in steel product requirements, in response to the development of modern technology. A review is given about the current research methods in steelmaking industry, with particular emphasis on environmental impact and pollution control methods.
