This book describes the operations and industrial processes related to the production of steel. The chapters cover the second part of the iron and steelmaking process, called steelmaking, presenting the stages of the process until obtaining the finished steel product in different formats for distinct applications. This book reports significant operating variables of the processes and basic operations of the steelmaking. The chapters contain numerous solved exercises conceptually supported on the thermodynamic and kinetic fundamentals of the production of steel from the pig iron in the Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) and the production of steel and ferroalloys in Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF). The thermal and mechanic fundamentals of the hot rolling operations and the mechanical fundamentals of the cold rolling, forming, and wire drawing to obtain different steel products are also reported. The book summarizes the strengths and uncertainties of steel as a structural material.

This textbook explores the production of pig iron, covering the first part of the steel production process, known as ironmaking. Divided into seven chapters, it discusses the following topics: raw materials for steel production (coking coal, iron ore, slag-forming agents and fluxes, scrap, ferroalloys and pre-reduced materials), the sintering process (used to prepare the burden for the blast furnace), the pelletizing process (used to agglomerate the fine iron ores), the production of coke (the main reductant in the ironmaking process), the production of iron by reduction with gas (an alternative to the blast furnace) and the production of pig iron in the blast furnace (which is used in more than 65% of steel production worldwide). Specially conceived for graduate and undergraduate courses, this book is based on more than 30 years of teaching experience in courses for undergraduates, graduates (master and Ph.D.) and industry professionals (technicians). It explores the recent trends in the iron- and steelmaking process (which might used in the future production of steel), and features 55 worked exercises and real-world problems to complement of the theoretical sections of the text.

The book covers the most important materials (naturals, metals, ceramics, polymers and composites) to be used mainly as structural engineering materials. Their main applications based on the properties are described in the first chapters of the book: mechanical, physical and chemical. The second part of the book is dedicated to the conceptual design by properties for a certain structural application: stiffness, mechanical strength, toughness, fatigue resistance, creep, etc., taking into account the weight and the cost. One of the chapters of the second part of the book is focused on the heat treatments of steels in order to improve their resistance to fatigue. The book concludes with a critical comparison between materials considering their production, properties and cost, and the forecast about the utilization of the different fields of materials in structural applications.

A través de conceptos de la psicología, la filosofía, la mitología y casos clínicos reales, esta obra invita a detectar la fuente de la angustia y tomar decisiones al respecto. Herramienta fundamental para una época vertiginosa que demanda adaptaciones constantes. ¿Por qué nos angustiamos? ¿Es señal de conflicto en los vínculos con los otros? ¿Cómo se manifiesta la angustia? ¿Cuáles son los procesos mentales en juego? ¿Qué decisiones nos ayudan a superarla? Para dar respuesta a estos interrogantes, este libro presenta casos clínicos reales, explica diversos conceptos de la psicología y se apoya en la mitología y la filosofía para mostrar la importancia de hablar de lo que nos angustia -que se siente en el cuerpo-, de lo que nos genera frustración e insatisfacción -que nos paraliza- y también, de pedir ayuda para animarnos a atravesarla y llegar al lugar donde deseamos estar. La incomunicación en tiempos de redes sociales, los ataques de pánico, la soledad, la imposibilidad de estar solo, los amores tóxicos, la culpa, la identidad sexual, las situaciones límite, la mirada de los otros, la imposibilidad de perdonarnos, los mandatos sociales, el miedo al cambio, la finitud, la adicción a la tecnología, entre otras situaciones de la vida cotidiana, nos provocan angustia. Con un lenguaje claro y accesible, el autor nos convoca a reflexionar y a tomar decisiones. Así, a partir de la mirada crítica sobre la situación y del autocuestionamiento, cada lector hallará las claves de sus propios enigmas y las llaves para abrir las celdas que aprisionan sus deseos.

This textbook focuses on cast irons, the second material in production and consumption after steel. The authors describe the Fe-C stable and metastable diagrams from the physical-chemical metallurgy point of view. The main properties of cast irons are presented and justified for all kinds of cast irons: low cost, excellent castability, mechanical properties depending on the graphite morphology (gray irons) and high wear resistance (white irons). The physical metallurgy of highly alloyed cast irons is also described, particularly that one of those used as a consequence of their abrasion, corrosion and heat resistance. The book presents exercises, problems and cases studies, with different sections dedicated to the molding practice. The book finishes with the production cast irons in the cupola furnace. This concise textbook is particularly of interest for students and engineers that work in industries related to cast irons.

Este libro pretende guiar al lector en la ardua tarea de descubrirse, de entender el porqué de sus obstáculos, de comprender cuáles son las llaves para esas puertas que no quieren abrirse. En fin, de reconocer cuál es su verdadero laberinto y, en consecuencia, empezar a tomar conciencia de cómo atravesarlo. ¿Qué nos lleva a sentirnos imposibilitados de ser felices? Siempre habrá problemas en la vida que nos toque transitar; son parte del camino, es habitual cruzarse con ellos. Sin embargo, según el modo en que los abordemos, podrán conformar un agobiante laberinto por el que deambularemos extraviados, ignorantes de quiénes somos y de cuáles son las verdaderas causas de nuestros conflictos. O, también, podrían ser nuevos desafíos que lograremos, finalmente, sortear. Con un lenguaje sencillo y sin tecnicismos, este libro viene a revelarnos una clave: cada obstáculo con el que creemos chocar es un espejo y nos trae un enigma para resolver. La salida del laberinto dependerá de que podamos descifrarlo. Daniel Fernández, licenciado en Psicología y autor de estas páginas, recurre a su experiencia como psicoanalista y nos ilustra con casos clínicos reales muchos de esos conflictos que habitan nuestro día a día. Así, cada uno de sus lectores podrá identificarse, reconocerse en ellos y finalmente encontrar las herramientas útiles para generar valiosos cambios a nivel personal.
