Summary: The Ironmaking Volume
Comment: This is the second volume of The Making, Shaping and Treating of Steel which covers ironmaking. Like the first volume on steelmaking, this volume gives an historical overview of ironmaking.

Sections include: the fundamentals (Thermodynamics, reactions, physical properties) of iron and steelmaking; Refractories; Coal & Coke; Iron Ores; The Blast Furnace design & operation; and Direct Smelting processes.

I found the sections on the physical properties and thermodynamics are quite good. A good reference for people working in the industry.

Summary: The Making, Shaping, and Treating of Steel
Comment: This is the Bible for understanding the processes involved in steel production. The history and development of the various technologies are fully discussed. The nature of the market, with the critical financial drivers are fully explained. The technical detail is written at a level that will benefit the expert, but in such a way that someone new to the business can understand the concepts and issues without being overwhelmed. This book made it possible for me to work with steel experts without being intimidated by their jargon. Don't leave home without it!
