On April 21, 1958, Peru joined Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Chile to bring to five the number of Latin American nations possessing integrated steel mills. Whether these countries should engage in heavy industry is beside the point; they are determined to make iron and steel, for they fervently believe that an iron and steel industry is the inevitable harbinger of progress. There is simultaneously a belief that the export of raw materials and the import of manufactured goods implies “colonial” status. Sensitive national pride rebels against the thought that raw materials producers are “hewers of wood and drawers of water” for the industriallyadvanced countires.

In recent years the Chinese iron and steel industry has gone through a period of hyper growth, propelling it to the very top of global steel-making. Commanding nearly half of global output and correspondingly utilizing a similar share of inputs and raw materials, China has become the key player in this industry, exerting significant influence on global prices and cost parameters. But just as the rise of China's iron and steel industry was not only driven by market forces but heavily influenced by government intervention in commodity and financial markets, government authorities are also trying to exert influence on the way Chinese steel-makers are acting on the global markets. Balancing market forces and industrial policy strategy at the global markets interface, political decision-makers have worked out an elaborate framework of measures to carve out maximum benefits for domestic enterprises and the economy as a whole. By examining these mechanisms, this article aims to illustrate that sectoral industrial policy in China does not push for expanding exports and investments across the board but carefully and discretionarily promotes global integration in some areas while delaying it in others.

The decision of German employers in the Rhenish-Westphalian iron and steel industry to lock out workers in November 1928 rather than accept binding arbitration of a dispute over wages marked, in retrospect, the beginning of the dissolution of the Weimar Republic. The strongest group of German capitalists, from the center of German heavy industry, frontally attacked the governing parliamentary coalition. It did so to stop the extension of socioeconomic reforms, if possible to reverse those that had been instituted since 1918, and above all to challenge that policy of state intervention in economic affairs which regulated class conflicts and institutionalized labor union influence.

Developments within the European Coal and Steel Community, since it was founded in 1952, are outlined. Particular attention is devoted both to the technical research that has been carried out under the E.C.S.C. cooperative research progamme and to the impact that technological change has had on the industry. An attempt is made to link the advances in technology and production with economic considerations. The lecture will discuss current trends in the availability of raw materials and energy and their influence on steel production. The future prospects of the iron and steel industry within the enlarged European Community are considered and the likely directions of technological advance are discussed.

Iron And Steel

The present status of iron and steel industry of China and Yunnan were given in this work. Base on the analysis of iron and steel industry of Yunnan, we choose two steel plants (marked plant A and plant B) as the typical factories to confirm the emission factor of SO2. The emission factor of SO2 was achieved by mass balance method. In steel plant A, the emission factor is 9.684 (kg-SO2/t-steel), after flue gas desulfurization, the factor dropped to 1.476 (kg-SO2/t-steel). It indicates that desulfuration of sinter flue gas is important to reduce SO2 emission. In steel plant B, the emission factor is 5.4(kg-SO2/t-steel) without desulfurization. However, according to Discharge Coefficients of Industrial Pollutants in the First National General Survey of Pollution Sources(Survey Handbook), the SO2 emission factor of plant B is 4.15(kg-SO2/t-steel). We can see the differences exist between Yunnan’s discharges of pollutants with national Survey Handbook. Because the national Survey Handbook represents the national average level and manufacturing technique and raw materials of various factories vary greatly within the country. So it’s necessary to confirm the emission factor for Yunnan province.
