8/35

India is gifted with large quantity of iron ore with high Ferrous content, which is the

crucial raw material for producing the steel. Hence India is one of the largest

producers of steel in the world.

With the help of liberalization, globalization of economy in the process,

there is a scope for economic development, which means there will be focus on

infrastructure. This will lead to considerable demand for stainless steel. As its main

applications are in the construction, engineering and automobile sectors, which are the

key elements in building infrastructure steel in universal intermediate and has very

strong forward and backward linkages hence steel industry has become one of thecore sector of the economy.

Though India one of the large steel producers. It has low percepts

consumption of steel in comparison with order developing and developed countries.

As steel is on the rise we can expect good rise in consumption.

India is fortunate in having intensive iron ore deposits with reserves

estimated at 10.3 billion which is more than 1/4th of the world reserves. Further the

average iron ore content of Indian ore is above 60% in India, the iron ore reserves are

mainly found in the states Orissa, Karnataka, Bihar, MP, Goa, A.P., Rajasthan and

sum parts of western Maharashtra.

When we think of the Industry steel , the first thing that comes in to mind us

stainless steel.

INDIAN STEEL SCENARIO:-

The Indian steel industry's onward journey in the recent times has been a cause of

great pride to all of us. The last two years have seen the deregulated Indian steel

industry performing at its peak level in almost all spheres. Steel production went up

by 8 per cent to reach a level of 33 million tons in 2005-06 from 32 million tons

recorded a year before. The domestic demand for steel also registered a growth rate of

6 per cent and grew from 27 million tons in 2005-06 to 29 million tons in 2005-06.

9/35

The most spectacular achievement has, however, been recorded in export

performance. The Exports of finished steel from India increased to a modern and

globally-integrated industry in an astonishingly short span Indian steel industry's

onward journey in the recent times has been the a cause of great pride to by 37 per

cent and from 2.7 million tons to 3.7 million/tons.

In addition, significant improvement was noted in the exports of semi-finished

steel, stainless steel. All these favourable trends have been reflected in the improved

profitability of the major steel makers in both the public and the private sectors. The

biggest success story has been that of TISCO, which has recorded an increase of 391per cent in its profits during this fiscal year compared to the previous y

ESSAR's balance-sheet has been in the black after a long time, while other

major steel makers have reduced their losses significantly. The fact that such an

improvement has come at a time of intense global competition and a worrisome

proliferation of non-tariff barriers in the developed world, speaks volumes about the

resilience, the innovativeness and, above all, the competitive spirit of the Indian

exporters of steel. The dexterity, with which the Indian exporters diversified their

destination markets, modified the composition of their export basket to suit the

changing global demand profile, affected sizable reduction in production costs and

adoption of state-of-the-art technologies provides sample testimony to the maturity of

this industry.

From a highly protected inward-looking industry of .the pre-liberalization

years it has matured into a modern and globally-integrated industry in an

astonishingly short span of time.

STAINLESS STEEL INDUSTRY PROFILE

10/35

In metallurgy, stainless steel, also known as inox steel orinox, is defined as a steel

alloy with a minimum of 11% chromium content by mass.[1]Stainless steel does not

stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel (it stains less, but it is not stain-

proof).[2]

It is also called corrosion-resistant steel orCRES when the alloy type andgrade are not detailed, particularly in the aviation industry. There are different grades

and surface finishes of stainless steel to suit the environment to which the material

will be subjected in its lifetime. Common uses of stainless steel are cutlery and watch

straps.

Stainless steel differs from carbon steel by the amount of chromium present. Carbon

steel rusts when exposed to air and moisture. This iron oxide film (the rust) is active

and accelerates corrosion by forming more iron oxide. Stainless steels have sufficient

amounts of chromium present so that a passive film of chromium oxide forms which

prevents further surface corrosion and blocks corrosion from spreading into the

metal's internal structure.

2) An art deco sculpture on theNiagara-MohawkPower building in Syracuse, NewYork

3) The 630-foot (192 m) high, stainless-clad (type 304) Gateway Arch defines St.

Louis's skyline

Properties of stainless steel :-High oxidation-resistance in airat ambient

temperature are normally achieved with additions of a minimum of 13% (by weight)

chromium, and up to 26% is used for harsh environments.[8] The chromium forms a

passivation layer ofchromium(III) oxide (Cr2O3) when exposed to oxygen. The layer

is too thin to be visible, and the metal remains lustrous. It is impervious to waterand

air, protecting the metal beneath. Also, this layer quickly reforms when the surface is

scratched. This phenomenon is calledpassivation and is seen in other metals, such as

aluminium and titanium. Corrosion resistance can however be adversely affected if

the component is used in a non-oxygenated environment, a typical example being

underwater keel-bolts buried in timber.

When stainless steel parts such as nuts andbolts are forced together, the oxide layer

can be scraped off causing the parts to weld together. When disassembled, the welded

material may be torn and pitted, an effect that is known as galling. This destructivegalling can be best avoided by the use of dissimilar materials, e.g. bronze to stainless

steel, or even different types of stainless steels (martensitic against austenitic, etc.),

when metal-to-metal wear is a concern. In addition, Nitronic alloys (trademark of

Armco, Inc.) reduce the tendency to gall through selective alloying with manganese

and nitrogen.

Applications:-

Stainless steels resistance to corrosion and staining, low maintenance, relatively low

cost, and familiar luster make it an ideal base material for a host of commercial

applications. There are over 150 grades of stainless steel, of which fifteen are most

common. The alloy is milled into coils, sheets, plates, bars, wire, and tubing to be

used in cookware, cutlery, hardware, surgical instruments, major appliances,

industrial equipment, and as an automotive and aerospace structural alloy and

construction material in large buildings. Storage tanks and tankers used to transport

orange juice and other food are often made of stainless steel, due to its corrosion

resistance and antibacterial properties. This also influences its use in commercial

kitchens and food processing plants, as it can be steam cleaned, sterilized, and does

not need painting or application of other surface finishes.

Stainless steel is also used for jewellery and watches. The mostcommon stainless steel alloy used for this is 316L. It can be re-finished by any jeweller and will not oxidize or turn black. Somefirearms incorporate stainless steel components as an alternative toblued or parkerized steel. A few, more expensive revolvers (like theSmith and WessonModel 60) and pistols (like versions of the ColtM1911) are milled entirely from stainless steel. This gives a high-luster finish similar in appearance to nickel plating; but, unlikeplating, the finish is not subject to flaking, peeling, wear-off due to

rubbing (as when repeatedly removed from a holster over thecourse of time), or rust when scratched.

Uses in sculpture, building facades and building structures:-

Stainless steel was in vogue during the art deco period. The most famous

example of this is the upper portion of the Chrysler Building (illustrated to the

right). Diners and fast food restaurants feature large ornamental panels,

stainless fixtures and furniture. Owing to the durability of the material, many

of these buildings retain their original appearance.

The forging of stainless steel has given rise to a fresh approach to architectural

blacksmithing in recent years.

The Gateway Arch (picture above) is clad entirely in stainless steel: 886 tons

(804 metric tonnes) of 0.25 in (6.4 mm) plate, #3 finish, type 304 stainless

steel.

Type 316 stainless is used on the exterior of both the Petronas Twin Towers

and the Jin Mao Building, two of the world's tallest skyscrapers.

The Parliament House of Australia in Canberra has a stainless steel flagpole

weighing over 220 tons.

The aeration building in the Edmonton Composting Facility, the size of 14

hockey rinks, is the largest stainless steel building in North America.

The United States Air Force Memorial has an austenitic stainless steel

structural skin.

The process commences with the formation of welded mother tube on the tube mill

from imported and tested prime quality stainless steel strips. The latest TIG multi

electrode welding technique is employed for superior weld quality and 100% Fusion,

with argon purging, No filler metal added.

These mother tubes are solution annealed at 1060 D. 1100 D. C in continuous annealingfurnace followed by immediate quenching to prevent chromium carbide precipitation.

Annealing of mother tuber ensures:

A) Removal of stress induced during tube forming and cold drawing:

B) Sufficient ductility and softness for cold drawing:

C) Transformation of the weld zone to austenitic nature,D) Re crystallization of metallic grains to original form and thereby improving

corrosion resistance.

During annealing, scales are formed on the surface of the tubes. In order to remove

these, the tubes are pickled by immersing into hot pickling solution made of nitric

acid, sulphuric acid and hydrofluoric acid. Before annealing we pass out one more

process which is straightening because after annealing tubes & pipes are distorted so

we remove the band through straightening process.

The tubes are then coated with proper lubricant and then cold drawn over a drew

bench:1) To vary the metallurgical structure and restore the properties to the parent material:

2) To achieve a tube having closer dimensional tolerances:

4) To produce tubing of smaller size and wall thickness.

5) To reorient the grain structure of weld portion with that of the parent material and

6) To remove/minimize the internal bead.

Drawing is followed by subsequent annealing and pickling to restorethe properties of the entire tube to that of the parent material. Thetubes are then passiated to impart extra corrosion resistance.Thereafter every tube is stenciled marked with material grade, sizeand manufacturing standard, Specification & heat no.
