Although the last two generations have seen an enormous amount of attention paid to advances in electronics, the fact remains that high-income, high-energy societies could thrive without microchips, etc., but, by contrast, could not exist without steel. Because of the importance of this material to comtemporary civilization, a comprehensive resource is needed for metallurgists, non-metallurgists, and anyone with a background in environmental studies, industry, manufacturing, and history, seeking a broader understanding of the history of iron and steel and its current and future impact on society. Given its coverage of the history of iron and steel from its genesis to slow pre-industrial progress, revolutionary advances during the 19th century, magnification of 19th century advances during the past five generations, patterns of modern steel production, the ubiquitous uses of the material, potential substitutions, advances in relative dematerialization, and appraisal of steel's possible futures, Still the Iron Age: Iron and Steel in the Modern World by world-renowned author Vaclav Smil meets that need. Incorporates an interdisciplinary discussion of the history and evolution of the iron- and steel-making industry and its impact on the development of the modern world Serves as a valuable contribution because of its unique perspective that compares steel to technological advances in other materials, perceived to be important Discusses how we can manufacture smarter rather than deny demand Explores future opportunities and new efforts for sustainable development in the industry Iron and Steel in the Modern World Butterworth-Heinemann Mining Engineering America's postwar retreat; Atmospheric emissions; Basic oxygen furnaces; Blast furnace; Blast furnaces; Bloomery iron; Charcoal; Charcoal making; Chinese dominance in steelmaking; Coke; Construction; Continuous casting; Dematerialization; Electric arc furnaces; Electricity; Electrostatic precipitators; Energy supply; Expansion and advancement in iron and steel industry; Flows and consumption rates; Fluxes; Fuels; Fuels and electricity; Furnaces; Future steel demand; GDP; Greenhouse gas emissions; Industrial equipment and consumer products; Industry's state; Infrastructure and buildings; Iron ores; Iron smelting; Ironmaking; Japanese dominance in steelmaking; Larger furnaces and hot blast; Life cycle analysis; Material balances; Material substitutions; Modern steel; New blast furnace designs; Pig iron production; Premodern steel; Puddling process; Recycling; Sintering and pelletization; Smelting; Stainless steel; Steel scrap; Steel stocks; Steel uses; Steelmaking; Steelmaking transition; Transition to coke; Transportation; Waste streams; Water use; Wrought iron;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; 9780128042335 DE,GB,ES,IT,FR English Technology & Engineering, Elsevier Science<
