Since the end of the Second World War (1939-1945), there have been some outstanding technical developments in steelmaking (processes, techniques and practices), which have since been adopted on a worldwide basis. These developments include the use of oxygen in bulk; automation; high-speed rolling and continuous casting. During the 1950s & 60s, the works at Barrow-in-Furness adopted all four initiatives in varying degrees. Most notable for us was the development of High-Speed Continuous Casting.In this book the authors are attempting to lay down a permanent record of what was achieved locally and thereby, hopefully, preserving the memory of a once-proud industry.
