Abstract
Steel industries of several western European countries—Netherlands, France, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and Sweden—as well as the United States and the High Authority of the European Coal and Steel Community, have for some years been taking part in a general research project on the properties of flames used in industry, under the aegis of the International Committee on Flame Research, at an experimental research station at Ijmuiden, Netherlands. The results of the work are published as research proceeds, but it is only in the last two years, and especially in 1955, that the first effects of this work on the productivity of the steel industry have begun to appear.
