DOWNLOAD EBOOKA richly detailed account of the American steel industry from its beginnings until 1970, when its long period of international leadership was challenged, this book interprets steel from viewpoints of historical and economic geography. It considers both physical factors, such as resouces, and human factors such as market, organization, and governmental policy. In major discussions of the east coast, Pittsburgh, the Ohio Valley, the Great Lakes, the South and the West, Warren analyzes the location and relocation of steel plants over 120 years. He explains the influence on location of a variety of factors: The accessibility of resources, the cost of transportation, the existence of specialized markets, and the availability of entrepreneurial skills, capital, and labor. He also evaluates the role of management in the development of the industry, through an analysis of individual companies, including Bethlehem, Carnegie, United States Steel, Kaiser, Inland, Jones and Laughlin, and Youngstown Sheet and Tube. Warren examines the influence exerted on the industry by complex technological changes and weighs their significance against market forces and the supply of natural resources. In the production process alone, the industry changed from pig iron to steel; from charcoal to anthracite; to bituminous coking coal; and from the widespread use of low-grade ore from the eastern United States, to the high quality but localized deposits of the Upper Great Lakes, to imported ores. Unlike other industrialized nations, the United States has undergone major geographical shifts in steel consumption since the 1850s. As the American population moved south and west into new territory, steel followed. Warren concludes that these radical alterations in the distribution and demand were the decisive force in the location of steel production.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThese proceedings were held during the ASM International Materials Solutions Conference and Exposition in Cincinnati, OH on November 1-4, 1999. The purpose of this symposium was to provide a forum for technical exchange on the latest research and developments in steel technology, as well as future technical challenges. Most of the papers that were presented appear in these proceedings. The papers are either focused on microalloyed and thermomechanically-controlled processed steel products or conventionally rolled and heat treated steel products with balanced properties for use in many structural applications. The steels, designed for such applications as bridges, construction vehicles, linepipe, shipbuilding, and mining equipment, exhibit high strength and toughness and superior weldability to provide designers and fabricators with new opportunities to design and fabricate cost-effective structures with longer fatigue life. Contents include: Twenty seven papers included on the following topics: Plenary session Heat-treated and copper-alloyed plates Thermomechanically control-processed plates Other plates and structural shapes Weldability issues.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe late 1970s and 1980s saw a process of mass factory closures in cities and regions across the Midwest of the United States. What happened next as leaders reacted to the news of each plant closure and to the broader deindustrialization trend that emerged during this time period is the main subject of this book. It shows how leaders in eight metropolitan areas facing deindustrialization strived for adaptive resilience by using economic development policy. The unique attributes of each region - asset bases, modes of governance, civic capacity, leadership qualities, and external factors - influenced the responses employed and the outcomes achieved. Using adaptive resilience as a lens, Margaret Cowell provides a thorough understanding of how and why regions varied in their abilities to respond to deindustrialization.
