Abstract

Knowing the effect of the alloying elements, a steel is primarily produced from ore via the blast furnace-converter route or secondary from scrap in an electric steelworks, poured into a ingot or strand and formed into a semi-finished product or finished part. The content of the first five chapters form the basis, process, facilities and applications for this. However, in order to obtain an assembly-ready component, further technological steps are necessary, such as heat treatment, testing, machining and adjustment work. These should be introduced below, starting with the heat treatment of steel.
