In addition to Mr. Mordashov, Dr. Edwin Basson (General Director of Worldsteel), Dr. Wolfgang Eder (General Director Voestalpine AG), Professor Harry Badeshia, Dr. Richard Zvezeri (Tata Stel), Mr. Roger, took part in the discussion. Manser (journalist and founder of the "Steel Business Briefing") Mr. Jim Woods (Senior Communications Director of the Institute for Processing Steel).
In connection with the launch of the “White Book of Steel” - the new World Steel Association project, the issues of future metallurgy were discussed in the key to studying the history of production and the use of metal rolling. To achieve success in the market, today the innovation of the level of the revolutionary invention of Henry Bessemer 1 , made by him in the nineteenth century.
Alexei Mordashov, in particular, noted that "a career in the metallurgical industry has to be done in a real international situation, it is necessary to understand global processes, change with the market and bring innovations."
1 Henry Bessemer (English Henry Bessemer; born January 19, 1813, born on January 19, 1813 In Charlton, Hartfordshire, England - died on March 15, 1898 in London) - an English inventor, a member of the London Royal Society since 1879. In 1856, he registered a patent for the converter for red -the -plane into steel by blowing air without fuel consumption, which became the basis of the so -called Bessemer process. In 1860, Bessemier patented a rotating converter with a supply of air through the bottom and her tsapfa, the design of which was mainly preserved to the present. Bessemier put forward the idea of a small steel rolling.
