Ten of the 21 members were regional and national associations. 1970s Membership covered five regions, with companies joining from India, Brazil and Argentina. POSCO (Korea) joined as an associate member. 1980s Membership covered seven regions. China Steel Corporation (Taiwan,1980) and Hyundai - originally Inchon Steel - (Korea,1985) joined as associate members. 1990sFirst Russian member (International Metallurgists Union, as an affilated member). It was a slow decade for recruitment of regular members but a large number of associate and affiliate members joined. 1993: sustainable development policy agreed 1994: annual International Management Seminar (IMS) started 1995: IISI took over the Ultra Light Steel Auto Body (ULSAB) programme 1997: publication of the first steel industry life cycle inventory (LCI) analysis to ISO standards 2000s2000: Nucor (US) joined as the first electric arc furnace member company2001: the first Russian steel-producing member joined (Severstal) 2003: steeluniversity was launched and the climate change policy agreed 2004: formal entry of the five largest Chinese producers as members (Baosteel, Anshan, Handan, Shougang, Wuhan), plus CISA (China Iron and Steel Association) 2005: the first Sustainability Report was published and the Living Steel programme started the second major Russian company (Evraz) joined 2006: the safety and health principles were agreed and launched the Beijing office was opened2007: tonnage from steel-producing members represented 53% of world crude steel production 2008: IISI changed its name to World Steel Association (worldsteel) and launched the Safety and Health Excellence Recognition Award, given to Arcelor Mittal Dofasco Inc, Bluescope Steel, Corus Group, Nucor Corporation and Sabic-Saudi Basic Industries Corporation.

Whether you are looking for a standard or custom solutions, we can provide a full service ranging from software and hardware design to system integration. Electronics For rapid marking of small and medium sized components laser marking is the only real solution. Not only is laser marking fast but it is also permanent (for protection against fraud), it gives extremely high quality marking, it is economical (long lasting investment and low operation cost ). Besides marking applications, Laser Markers in the Electronic Industry are used to trim crystals, resistors, delay tubes, to selectively remove paint, to structure photocopier drums and many others. Medical For meet cleanroom conditions Laser Marking is the best there is. The most important feature of Laser marling for the medical industry is the high quality long lasting marking, even on very small pieces (such as needles). Another quality of Laser Marks is that they are Bio Compatible. Parts with a Laser Mark can be implanted in the Human Body. Aerospace An permanent mark is vital in Aerospace & Aviation. Tracebility is of utmost importance during production and life cycle of products. We have developed a portable Laser Marking Head specially for the Aerospace & Aviation industry. This enables users to mark very large pieces and even pieces already installed in an aircraft. Laser is an alround marking for virtually all materials used in the industry. Automotive Permanent marking by laser marking in the automotive industry is the best way to combine traceability with flexibility. Applications range from barcoding critical parts to flexible production of back lit buttons on an as required basis.. Packaging Laser marking can be combined with readily available label stock and treated packaging materials to produce labels of the highest quality in real time and in custom batches for production packaging. Quality rivals printing at lower overall cost for appliactions ranging from special offer tagging and content identification for luxury products to barcoding and batchcoding.

The combined rotational and downward force of our special Thermal Drilling tool bit creates frictional heat. Temperatures can reach 900 C for the tool, and 700 C for the work piece. The material is transformed into a "super-plastic" state, allowing the tool to displace material and form a bushing. The height of the bushing is roughly 3 to 4 times the original metal thickness. These bushings are ideal for threaded applications, as the number and strength of threads is significantly increased. It is an excellent alternative to weld nuts or threaded inserts. The bushing can also be used as a support hole for welded, soldered or brazed connections as well as for a load-bearing surface. The Thermal Drilling System can be used in most ferrous and non-ferrous metals including mild steel, stainless steel, copper, brass and aluminium, with material thickness up to 12 mm. In general, all malleable materials can be thermal drilled. Standard drills are available in any size up to 25.4 mm. diameter. Larger drill sizes are available on request. No special equipment is required. A standard drill press, milling machine or CNC machining center is suitable. Thermal Drilling is also ideal for automation because it is a chipless process, produces accurate holes, and has a long tool life. Thermal Drilling is also well suited for short run or prototype work because of its ease of use. There is absolutely no cutting involved during the creation of the hole
