The chemical composition and wire-rod production process of low-carbon, precipitation-strengthened bainitic steels were specially designed for the production of cold-headed products without heat-treating operations. The chemical composition of the bainitic steel was developed using high Ti...

Bridges are an integral part of the worldwide traffic infrastructure and long-span bridges especially contribute to mobility and economy of time in travelling. Improvements of the steel-plated cross-sections of steel and composite bridge structures help to enhance the competitiveness of such...

The aim of this project is to clarify resistance against external corrosion of stainless steel pipes in soil. This is being done by laboratory screening tests, by exposure in various soil types in the field and exposure to AC current, as well as by collecting operational experiences of existing...

The project aim is to reduce the principal sources of poor shape within the stainless steel strip production route (Sendzimir Mill, vertical bright annealer (VBA), tension leveller), taking into account interactions between various hot/cold mill processes. Strip condition is monitored through...

The project presented comprises a selection of theoretical investigations, laboratory development and pilot-scale trials conducted to address the current need for ultra high-strength deep-drawable steels with high manganese contents. The aim of the work was the selection and development of...

The purpose of this project was to conduct research into the use of steel for coating in new products and mixed steel features for cosmetic uses in wall and ceiling elements, and to focus on the latest acoustic design criteria. The project partnership has produced specific market surveys on...

The major aim of the project was to develop optimised zinc coatings with significantly improved self-healing properties against cut edge corrosion. Although this ambitious aim was not achieved, the project was quite successful in enhancing our understanding of what needs to be considered. We...
