Great post thank you Mathew and Niagara for the men at work video.Really an eye opener I think a lot of us take our
great blade steels for granted,I know I sometimes do.

So each process they do is pretty quick to the next. What happens if one of the machines fail in the process? Would the abrubt cooling of the piece effect the process? Would they have to reheat and sort of start over?

Hi Colu41,
If there is a mill breakdown the material in the furnace is slow cooled, descaled and then rolled to gauge at a later date. Anything that has already been rolled will go into one of our annealing furnaces for a full anneal.

I told you " Metallurgy Is Fun " !

Recently I was with a group of young nurses..What's a metallurgist ? I explained . How do you make a scalpel ? I explained . Wow , I can't remember being asked questions like that ! Those nurses will be be a credit to their profession !!
