Well, this is, again, it's just a ring, a steel ring with steel nuts.

That's cubed metal. This is armatures, electrical armatures, where they're getting the copper and the high end steel from electrical motors out, and recycling them.

The redesign involved substitution of aluminum lithium for the existing aluminum alloy, thus taking advantage of the greater strength per unit of weight characteristic of the new material.

The world steel industry remains highly fragmented, with the 10 largest producers (by size in 2003 Arcelor, Mittal Steel, Nippon Steel, JFE, POSCO, Shanghai Baosteel, US Steel, Corus Group, Nucor, and ThyssenKrupp) accounting for just 30 per cent of total world production.

An increase in the stock price of steel manufacturers suggests an increase in the demand for steel, which induces entrepreneurs to start more steel plants and investors to provide them with the money. Conversely, a decrease in the stock price of steel manufacturers leads entrepreneurs to liquidate existing plants and dissuades investors from committing more resources to the sector.

Well, we don't make any steel anymore, and the people who used to make the steel are having a very tough time of it.

Consumption of finished steel is smaller than production of crude steel due to losses in production of finished products (the discarded material is recycled).

According to the introduction made by Liu Changbao, the project leader of Beijing No. 5 Construction Engineering Group, the building area of the Performing Arts Plaza project was 4500 square meters, and the total amount of installed steal was 1182 tons.
