High Purity Pig Iron Market's Integral Role in Elevating Steel Quality Standards

The global high purity pig iron market size is expected to reach USD 17.09 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc, expanding at a CAGR of 8.5% over the forecast period. Investments in wind power generation are expected to benefit the industry growth from 2022 to 2030. HPPI is the principal raw material used in the production of nodular cast iron components, which are deployed in industries, such as wind energy, automotive & transportation, etc. Increasing emissions and limited potential for fossil fuels have led to the focus on energy production from renewable sources, such as wind and solar. HPPI finds applications in different wind turbine components, such as rotors, shafts, frames, and blades among others.

High Purity Pig Iron Market Report Highlights

The energy application segment is projected to register the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. A shift towards renewable energy is anticipated to promote the usage of nodular cast iron components and benefit HPPI demand

Automotive & transportation was the largest application segment in 2021. Investments for new plants and capacity additions are projected to boost the demand for HPPI products in casting parts

Asia Pacific was the leading region in 2021 due to offshore wind projects and industrial production in China, India, and Japan

India is anticipated to register a lucrative growth rate, in terms of revenue, over the forecast period due to the growing focus on domestic manufacturing to cater to the growing demand from various end-use industries

China, a leader in wind energy installations, aims to double its wind and solar capacity by 2025. The pollution levels are also high in China compared to other countries around the world, therefore it is necessary to increase renewable power generation. As per the central economic plan of the country, nearly 33% of power supply will come from renewable sources by 2025, an increase from 29% in 2020. Recently, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy received an order for 14 offshore wind turbines from a Green Power Investment firm in Japan. This Ishikari offshore project is likely to produce 112 MW of wind energy wherein installations are planned to start in July 2023. The turbines have ClassNK certification ensuring stringent technical standards. Similar investments in wind energy are expected to provide a boost to the HPPI products demand.

Automotive & transportation is a key application segment, wherein nodular cast iron components made using HPPI are used. This segment is likely to register a growth of 8.3%, in terms of revenue, from 2022 to 2030. A rise in the production capacities for vehicles is projected to attract the demand for HPPI products. For instance, Kia Motors in India is expected to increase its production capacity to 400,000 units by the end of 2022. Increasing utilization of steel scrap in foundries, especially in China, is projected to remain a favorable factor for the industry players. The increasing shift towards electric furnaces compared to blast furnaces requires high purity iron to reduce the impurities in the melt. This is anticipated to benefit in the reduction of carbon emissions and, thus, protect the environment.

The iron carbon phase diagram is very normal and totally clears this up.

It... kinda makes sense but the irony is not lost on me that really Cast Iron is Steel with Carbon added.

So we have pure iron, and we add carbon and we call it steel. Ok cool, so then we also have cast iron, which is where you take iron and add more carbon. Yeah okay. And then we get pig iron, which is where you take iron and add even more carbon to it. So with steels we get high carbon steel and low carbon steel. Low carbon steel has more carbon than iron but less than iron. High carbon steel has less carbon than iron but much more than iron.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

Heather Cox Richardson

Oct 29, 2024

On Monday, October 28, 1929, New York’s Metropolitan Opera Company opened its forty-fifth season.

Four thousand attendees in their finest clothes strolled to the elegant building on foot or traveled in one of a thousand limousines to see Puccini’s Manon Lescaut, the melodramatic story of an innocent French girl seduced by wealth, whose reluctance to leave her riches for true love leads to her arrest and tragic death. Photographers captured images of the era’s social celebrities as they arrived at opening night, their flash bulbs blinding the crowd that had gathered to see the famous faces and expensive gowns.

No one toasting the beginning of the opera season that night knew they were marking the end of an era.

At ten o’clock the next morning, when the opening gong sounded in the great hall of the New York Stock Exchange, men began to unload their stocks. So fast did trading go that by the end of the day, the ticker recording transactions ran two and a half hours late. When the final tally could be read, it showed that an extraordinary 16,410,030 shares had traded hands, and the market had lost $14 billion. The market had been uneasy for weeks before the twenty-ninth, but Black Tuesday began a slide that seemingly would not end. By mid-November the industrial average was half of what it had been in September. The economic boom that had fueled the Roaring Twenties was over.

Once the bottom fell out of the stock market, the economy ground down. Manufacturing output dropped to levels lower than those of 1913. The production of pig iron fell to what it had been in the 1890s. Foreign trade dropped by $7 billion, down to just $3 billion. The price of wheat fell from $1.05 a bushel to 39 cents; corn dropped from 81 to 33 cents; cotton fell from 17 to 6 cents a pound. Prices dropped so low that selling crops meant taking a loss, so struggling farmers simply let them rot in the fields. 

By 1932, over one million people in New York City were unemployed. By 1933 the number of unemployed across the nation rose to 13 million people—one out of every four American workers. Unable to afford rent or pay mortgages, people lived in shelters made of packing boxes.

No one knew how to combat the Great Depression, but certain wealthy Americans were sure they knew what had caused it. The problem, they said, was that poor Americans refused to work hard enough and were draining the economy. They must be forced to take less. “Liquidate labor, liquidate stocks, liquidate the farmers, liquidate real estate,” Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon told President Herbert Hoover. “It will purge the rottenness out of the system. High costs of living and high living will come down. People will work harder, live a more moral life. Values will be adjusted, and enterprising people will pick up the wrecks from less competent people.” 

Slash government spending, agreed the Chicago Tribune: lay off teachers and government workers, and demand that those who remain accept lower wages. Richard Whitney, a former president of the Stock Exchange, told the Senate that the only way to restart the economy was to cut government salaries and veterans’ benefits (although he told them that his own salary—which at sixty thousand dollars was six times higher than theirs—was “very little” and couldn’t be reduced).

President Hoover knew little about finances, let alone how to fix an economic crisis of global proportions. He tried to reverse the economic slide by cutting taxes and reassuring Americans that “the fundamental business of the country, that is, production and distribution of commodities, is on a sound and prosperous basis.” 

But taxes were already so low that most folks would see only a few extra dollars a year from the cuts, and the fundamental business of the country was not, in fact, sound. When suffering Americans begged for public works programs to provide jobs, Hoover insisted that such programs were a “soak the rich” program that would “enslave” taxpayers, and called instead for private charity.

By the time Hoover’s term ended, Americans were ready to try a new approach to economic recovery. They refused to reelect Hoover and turned instead to New York Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who promised to use the federal government to provide jobs and a safety net to enable Americans to weather hard times. He promised the American people a “New Deal”: a government that would work for everyone, not just for the wealthy and well connected.

As soon as Roosevelt was in office, Democrats began to pass laws protecting workers’ rights, providing government jobs, regulating business and banking, and beginning to chip away at the racial segregation of the American South. New Deal policies employed more than 8.5 million people, built more than 650,000 miles of highways, built or repaired more than 120,000 bridges, and put up more than 125,000 buildings. 

They regulated banking and the stock market and gave workers the right to bargain collectively. They established minimum wages and maximum hours for work. They provided a basic social safety net and regulated food and drug safety. And when World War II broke out, the new system enabled the United States to defend democracy successfully against fascists both at home—where they had grown strong enough to turn out almost 20,000 people to a rally at Madison Square Garden in 1939—and abroad. 

The New Deal worked so well that common men and women across the country hailed FDR as their leader, electing him an unprecedented four times. Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower built on the New Deal when voters elected him in 1952. He bolstered the nation’s infrastructure with the Federal-Aid Highway Act, which provided $25 billion to build 41,000 miles of highway across the country; added the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare to the government and called for a national healthcare system.

Eisenhower nominated former Republican governor of California Earl Warren as chief justice of the Supreme Court to protect civil rights, which he would begin to do with the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision months after joining the court. Eisenhower also insisted on the vital importance of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to stop the Soviet Union from spreading communism throughout Europe.

Eisenhower called his vision “a middle way between untrammeled freedom of the individual and the demands of the welfare of the whole Nation.” 

The system worked: between 1945 and 1960 the nation’s gross national product (GNP) jumped by 250%, from $200 billion to $500 billion. The vast majority of Americans of both parties liked the new system that had helped the nation to recover from the Depression and to equip the Allies to win World War II. 

Politicians and commentators agreed that most Democrats and Republicans shared a “liberal consensus” that the government should regulate business, provide for basic social welfare, promote infrastructure, and protect civil rights. It seemed the country had finally created a government that best reflected democratic values. 

Indeed, that liberal consensus seemed so universal that the only place to find opposition was in entertainment. Popular radio comedian Fred Allen’s show included a caricature, Senator Beauregard Claghorn, a southern blowhard who pontificated, harrumphed, and took his reflexive hatred of the North to ridiculous extremes. A buffoon who represented the past, the Claghorn character was such a success that he starred in his own Hollywood film and later became the basis for the Looney Tunes cartoon rooster Foghorn Leghorn.

“Poor metal forged by poorer men.”

Swordtember 1 — Wings

The short sword of the Pentapolitan Host—affectionately nicknamed “the tegmen” due to resembling an insect wing— is part of the required kit for Host soldiers, guards, and mercenaries hired out throughout the Chain.

The Host provides military service to hundreds of minor guilds and traders in the archipelago and so have a high demand for cheap weaponry. This demand is met through a number of methods, but the most common way is through deals with local smiths. 

Because of the reputation of the Host and the notoriously low quality of their weapons, these deals are often considered an embarrassment, but are still highly coveted, especially by those smiths new to the trade. 

Host manufacturing deals are typically short term orders for bulk tegmen and various other weapons, but the company provides molds and materials (pig iron and wrapped with cord made from human hair), thus requiring only labor from the smiths. The deals pay well, but additionally, the company allows hired laborers to sign their work, providing a huge marketing boost to up-and-coming smiths.

Decided to participate in Swordtember this year! I'm trying to slaughter a number of birds with this, but I'm mostly here to have fun and flesh out a world I’ve been ignoring for the better part of a year. (The same world that this piece is from). I'm really hoping that I carry through all 30 days, but I'm not very good at follow-through so we'll see.

Palestinians used as Guinea pigs by Israeli weapons makers:

The Israeli army released footage on October 22 of its Maglan commando unit deploying a new precision-guided 120mm mortar bomb called the Iron Sting, against Hamas in Gaza. The bomb’s Haifa-based manufacturer, Elbit Systems, has been advertising its qualities on the public relations page of its website since March 2021, when it was integrated into the Israeli military.

[squirmydads-creations]

Warbikes: The paint palette Mournfang Brown for the tires and ground base, Balor Brown for the seats and handle bars, Bleached Bone for the front and back rolled up tarps, Pig Iron for the bulk of the metals, Quick Silver for the headlamps, Troll Slayer Orange to serve as a base for the Big Top Red that will go on the gun barrels, front fender, hoses, and exhausts and black and white for touchups/repairs. Red acrylics are usually a bit thin so painting an area orange first makes for a stronger red and better depth of color. If you make a mistake and need to repaint something you can use white or black to blot over the mistake and redo it.

The paints are from four different manufacturers, Citadel makes a lot of really good products at the moment, that hasn’t always been the case though. At one point their bottle designs caused the paints to dry out ridiculously fast. I use a lot of white, particularly as a dry-brushing base, so the big cheap bottle works great for that. Find what works for you. I’ve done all of the small parts and I’ve started putting on the Pig Iron for the main body metals on the column of bikes on the left. I thought the Pig Iron would be darker and unfortunately it’s only a little darker than the Quicksilver on the headlamps.

Illuminati/super secret society Au

This is an Au where the Survivors works for the Illuminati! Or at least a super secret and shady society. I'll call them the s.s.s.s for now. (stands for super secret shadow society) The AU logo is also their logo:

They are the usual shadow organisation working to control the world in secret. Roles and backstory are under the cut.

(No I'm not mourning the fact Inside Job was cancelled, what are you talking about.)

A long time ago, two eldritch beings who wanted to rule the earth as gods. They looked at the world and saw it's dependency on a few powerful people and took them over. They were successful for 2 thousand years until their cult was found, overthrown and their power source, their worshipers, where slaughtered.

As this was in the mists of and maybe the lost cause of the Bronze age collapse, it was lost to history.

But the humans were too late, for these creatures had created something that they could not destroy, something that was reborn into the future, something that was destined to take over this world and unite it under its absolute rule.

They made Kethontia (k-eth-on-tie-a), their son. Now know today as Keith.

But enough backstory, here's our main cast (spoiler: they are a lot more corrupt then in cannon):

Ellis: He grew up with Keith before they knew he was god-like being, once they found out the prophecy he was happy to help his bud with world domination. He was the one who suggested a secret organisation instead of destroying a majority of humanity. He is Keith's right hand man and second in command.

Nick: He was a con-artist with nothing to lose, on account that Keith found him bleeding out from multiple bullet wounds in a back ally. He was given a second chance at life in this new job. He is half spy half lab rat. He goes onto missions and sometimes goes with powers that Keith gives him, and then they get to see if mortals (aka Nick) can actually handle them. He dies a lot, but Keith bring him back.

Coach: Coach was having a rough time when Keith found him. His injured leg had developed arthritis, the school he was working at was closing down in favour of a new private school none of the current students would be able to get into and on top of that he was having a crisis of faith. Keith stepped in to fill that void. Keith restabilized the school and fixed Coach's leg entirely, in return Coach became the main recruiter for the S.S.S.S. Although Coach refuses to put anyone under 20 on his list.

Rochelle: Ellis realised very quickly that if Keith wanted to control the world, He'd need a contact to control the media. He found Rochelle being mistreated in her workplace despite her clear skill and decided that she would be perfect. Keith contacted her and offered to make her the head of the news, but she only accepted when Keith pulled the 'I'm a god' card and proves it. Even then she joins more out of the fear that she'll be brainwashed or killed if she doesn't agree. She starts out unsure about the S.S.S.S but she gets used to it. (and the power gets to her head.)

Zoey: Zoey was failing college when she met Keith, the problem was that she wasn't really trying at making an actually good movie. (Her parents divorcing wasn't helping with concentration either.) Instead she was having a go at subliminal messaging so she could graduate, Keith would of been a idiot to pass this up. She was put in charge of producing subliminal messages and movies to go with it. Ironically, her movies are now really good even without subliminal messaging. Her parents don't know anything about the S.S.S.S and are happy for their daughter.

Louis: Louis was chosen for two reasons, one, he was incredibly skilled, two, he had a bone to pick with his boss. Who, very clearly, was not given Louis a promotion because the boss was a racist pig. His story is very similar to Rochelle's after that. He becomes the head of the biggest electronics manufactures in the northern hemisphere.

Bill: Bill's job fell into his lap by accident. Keith had recently found that he could use his incomprehensible power to brainwash people, so he saw Bill's skill and tried to convert him, but Bill was mysteriously immune (far too stubborn to fall)to his control. Embarrassed, He begged Bill to join his cause (and preferably never talk about this again). Bill accepted the first term, but talks about the story every chance he gets. He's a combat trainer and receptionist.

Francis: Keith met Francis at a bar while he was drunk (He's a god-like being, but he still has a human body,) and spilled the beans on the secret society. Francis, who was also drunk said he wanted to join in. They accidently made the first magickly binding deal since the bronze age and Francis is now the head of the criminal underworld of America. Like Bill, he also brags about it any chance he gets.

(Thank you to @punkasshunter for helping me develop this au. your help is deeply appreciated)

Why A.I. Will NEVER Take Over The World

There's been a lot of discussions about artificial intelligence and how it's being used in our society. With the rise of A.I. generated art, A.I. in manufacturing, self-driving cars that use A.I., people are now on edge thinking we're entering a robot uprising. This fear of a real-world robot apocalypse reads more as humorous if anything else. Being knowledgeable in science fiction and having a fascination with innovation, I can 100% guarantee you that A.I. will never take over the world. In this post, I will go into detail as to why a robot apocalypse will always remain a work of fiction.

Like with the Internet and apps, artificial intelligence is a computer program made up of binary code. For those who are not tech savvy, binary code is the blueprint for all computer programs comprised of a series of 1s and 0s. In the hands of a very smart programmer, binary code can, and has, been used to create some of the most innovative programs we users take for granted. The emojis, the virtual recycle bin, Google, Twitch, even Tumblr all have binary codes that make up their very existence. As impressive as A.I. is, it's still limited to the binary code made up by the programmer(s) and as such it cannot process information as well as the human brain, nor can it comprehend ideas that are unique to humanity. A.I. has no imagination, it has no free will, it has not empathy, and it has no self-awareness. These are complex human traits that a computer program can never duplicate no matter how advanced it is.

Those who know me know that I love robots. From Transformers, to Gundam, to The Iron Giant, to Terminator, robots are my favorite sci-fi concept. As cool as it would be fore robots to be as advanced as they are in works of fiction, I'm smart enough to know that that's never going to happen. The progress we've made in robotics is great, don't get me wrong. Robotic arms are used to make cars, drones are pretty much commonplace, and there are plenty of robotic toys on the market, such as robot dogs, dancing robots, and RC robots. That said, robots have the same limitations as A.I.: no self-awareness, not empathy, no imagination, and no free will. Not to mention robots are slower, weaker, and stupider than us humans. If a robot uprising were to somehow happen in real life, we would overpower and outsmart them without even breaking a sweat.

That's the long and short of why I think it's laughable that people seriously believe artificial intelligence will take over the world. How naive and impressionable do you have to be to think that a computer program with no self-awareness, no creativity, and no free will can make you obsolete? You might as well subscribe to the belief that pigs can fly XD

Victorian Railways R-Class Hudsons

Its to be pointed out that it at the time that the R-Class was introduced as an express passenger locomotive, they had already thought to start introducing diesels (which they did in July of 1952, as the poor R-s needed extensive work at the Shops after their trip by boat) and thought to phase out the S-classes. Any blame on the R-classes themselves is pure arse covering and ignores how deeply ideological the introduction of the diesels was and how short sighted at this point the VR had become.

(They had already dropped the ball on rejuvenating the post-war rail network by reinforcing the lines, were cutting a lot of branches, scrapped Heavy Harry's two other siblings before completion; thought to introduce diesels but then ordered the R and J classes... and when they finally introduced the diesels, it was in this arrogant, pig-headed fashion that ignored that the diesels at that point were quite new and a lot of kinks to iron out.

They withdrew and scrapped the S-class Pacifics before any preservationists could save them and painted the diesels in the blue and gold VR express livery as a statement... and refused to let steam engine crews rescue or take over trains from broken diesels because it made VR look bad...

One particular incident at Seymour involved a diesel that was hauling a banana train breaking down, and the crew of an already prepped and ready R-Class Hudson being told it was more trouble than their jobs were worth to go and pull that train, so they had to sit by while fitters were called from the diesel depot at Dynon.

No Super Rescue here I'm afraid.

Sorry about the rant, its kind of a weird bone of contention in gunzel circles apparently... and its awfully convenient the foreign manufactured locomotive gets the blame. Hhhhmmmmmm...).

I headcanon these fellas as Scottish, but we Aussies have a whole thing of Scottish folks we adopt as our own (Jimmy Barnes, Malcolm and Angus Young, etc.) and Victoria itself as a very strong Scottish influence in a lot of place names and culture. They are solidly Scottish-Australian in my view.

Episodes: 36

Single episode length: 22 minutes / 23 minutes / 24 minutes / 25 minutes

IMDb: tt4938396

Type: Reimagining

Summary:

As a punishment for causing havoc in Heaven, Sonogong is locked in a huge iron mass for 500 years until Samjang Bupsa, an old priest embarking on a mission to rid the world of evil and spread peace throughout the land, rescues him. Sonogong becomes Samjang's disciple. He meets Saojung who enviously eyes Sonogong's amazing Superboard, and a brute swine oil seller Jopalgye. After several twists and turns, they join on Samjang's journey. Wherever they go, they meet overwhelming enemies and get into trouble. But they don't get frustrated and find ingenious way to defeat monsters.

This Korean Journey to the West can be said to be a modern version of Journey to the West. Tang Seng drives a small car, Somersault Cloud turns into a super skateboard, Wukong wields a nunchuck, and Bajie uses a hot weapon bazooka. These innovative designs make it hard for those who have seen it to forget. Remember the plot, but forget the name. The name of the animation is "Monkey King". "Journey to the West" is the friend of every child born in the 80s. From childhood to adulthood, how many versions of Journey to the West have we seen, I guess you can't remember.

"The Ever-changing Monkey King", also known as "New Journey to the West". This Korean animation is quite innovative. It is still the story of Tang Monk's master and apprentice, but it is no longer about going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures. Tang Seng's task is to eliminate evil in the world and seal all kinds of monsters. In addition to the changes in the plot, great changes have also been made in the character settings. Wukong: The Wukong we are familiar with wears a tight hoop on his head, holds a golden cudgel, and steps on somersaulting clouds. In "Variety Changes", the tight hoop turns into a helmet, and the chanting of the tight hoop spell turns into a wooden fish. The golden cudgel became a nunchuck (still very heavy), and the somersault cloud became a skateboard. Wearing hand and knee pads on his hands and feet, Wukong is like a hip-hop boy playing a skateboard.

Bajie: Bajie's back was changed into a fiery pig holding a rocket launcher and driving a motorcycle. Wujing: Wujing is not hearing very well (his ears grow under the skin), and he wants to steal Wukong's super skateboard. Use a small hammer, when fighting, shout one, two, three, four, hit with the hammer, and then it will explode. The dubbing of Wujing is very interesting, it is Stephen Chow's queen dubbing Shi Banyu.

Many people call "Monkey King" a toothbrush version of Journey to the West, because Monkey will recite a spell when he transforms, and he will change every time he changes. Later, for some reason, Wukong lost his memory and did not remember how the seventy-six changes. They gave him a toothbrush, and as soon as Wukong brushed his teeth, he chanted a spell and transformed, to be funny. Speaking of transformation, the animation has a very spoof of personal transformation. That person has 6 nose hairs (the extra-long ones), and if you pull out one nose hair, you can change it once, and you can change it 6 times in total.

What I have been thinking, captain, is what is exempt from import tax in one country is what I'd like to stick through the crack in my skull to start to fill it: hay, oranges, lemons, pineapples, cocoa nuts, grapes, green fruit, and vegetables of every variety, and linseed oil cake. Horses, pigs, poultry, dogs, and living animals of every description, except cattle and sheep. Corks, bark, firewood, logwood, and dyewoods. Copper or yellow metal, rod bolts or sheathing, and copper and yellow metal nails. Felt for sheathing, oakum and junk, pitch, tar, and resin. Sail canvas, boats, and boat oars.
