Flash Ironmaking
This book addresses the two major issues faced by the modern steel industry: CO2 emissions and energy consumption. The steel industry accounts for 6.7% of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions and consumes 6% of the total energy consumed in manufacturing.

Copper Overview - From Historical Aspects to Applications
Copper is a metal that currently is a key element in the field of electricity, although it has significant importance in other fields, particularly when it is alloyed, due to its mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Moreover, copper and some of its compounds are gaining importance in other topics due to their antibacterial properties. Nevertheless, this metal, which was one of the first used by humans, has been crucial for their development, and for this reason, two periods of history are called the Copper Age and Bronze Age due to the importance of Cu and Cu-Sn, respectively, in the fabrication of utensils, weapons, and ornamental objects. From that moment, the utilization of copper has significantly grown to an actual production approaching 30 Mt, of which around 80% corresponds to the mine production while the rest comes from recycling. The reutilization of copper (or the exploitation of secondary resources) is a topic of increasing importance due to both the depletion of high-grade deposits and the importance of environmental aspects in metallurgical industries. This book provides a collection of research works and reviews that emphasize some of the above-reported topics.

New applications proposed in this book are examined in relation to technology, functional properties, and potential of the tested materials. The book also examines related challenges of magnesium-based alloys, including implementation problems, encountered barriers and problems to be solved in the scope of the proposed application were described also.
New Advances in Steel Engineering
Steel engineering is a vast subject. It encompasses all the methodologies and procedures necessary to fabricate steel as well as includes all the special characteristics that steel must have to work properly in each specific job or demand. Designing steel can not be compared to a cooking recipe - one must understand the intrinsic relationships between each component (elements) of the steel and how those elements interact to provide specific mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and so on. To achieve those properties, the elements must combine in a way during fusion or any similar fabrication process to create the main phases of the steel, which ultimately is the ordered crystal structure that will create the desired property on the material. Thermomechanical treatments are also employed on raw steel to achieve even better properties and to improve steel's resistance to different demands. This book presents the latest processes, techniques, and methodologies used to create new types of steels and to improve the different properties of those steels already known. It also discusses new fabrication processes, the inclusion of alloying elements, and new heat treatments or thermomechanical routes to demonstrate how steel properties can be optimally designed and engineered.

Old Victoria
Old Victoria, a ghost town from the copper boom, shows what life was like homesteading in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Over the years, some of the site has been destroyed or has collapsed; still, many of Old Victoria's original homesteads remain standing. Thanks to the efforts of a local group, The Society for the Restoration of Old Victoria, quite a few of the buildings have been restored and refurnished in their original condition. Unlike Fayette, the U.P.'s best-known ghost town and a small shipping port on Lake Michigan, Victoria is a remote, rugged mining town, buried in the Ontonagon wilderness.Thus, Victoria is one of the least-known yet most interesting attractions of the Upper Peninsula. The town was carved out of one of the harshest sections of the rugged U.P. landscape. Situated at the top of a Michigan mountain, part of the picturesque Ontonagon River Gorge, Victoria is within the Gogebic Mineral Range. When visiting here, you get the feel for what it was like to struggle in a remote mining town.Join Mikel B. Classen, the Yooper History Hunter, on a romp through time with two dozen photographs that portray more than a century of Old Victoria!"Both history and travel guide, this thoroughly researched and gracefully written book -- illustrated with both historical and contemporary photographs -- is a must-read for people planning visits to lesser-known parts of the western Upper Peninsula." -- Jon C.
