Editor’s Note: On occasion, the editorial staff of MMA publishes historical articles that we believe will be of interest to our readership. The following originally appeared in the October 1945 issue of Metal Progress, and discusses the challenges that the steelmaking industry will face as it adjusts to the post-World War II environment in light of the rapid growth the industry experienced in order to keep up with wartime demand. It provides an interesting glimpse into the many issues that suppliers faced at that time. While the majority of the article focuses on technical factors, such as ore quality, furnace design, and steelmaking practices, the author also makes use of several classical literature references to illustrate his points. We hope that our readers will enjoy this perspective into the world of steel making at this pivotal time in the industry.
