ThyssenKrupp's stainless steel saved on road to independence

BERLIN (Reuters) - The stainless steel division of the conglomerate
ThyssenKrupp is on its way to independence.

The mother is legally separate from its steel business and close it
from the organizational requirements for the announced sale, said
stainless steel division's chief Clemens Iller the "Rheinische Post"
(Friday edition). The division, which now operates under the name
"Stainless Global," will be called off Saturday "Inoxum". "As we are
now entering the Inoxum independence and make it visible to the
outside world that we are gradually cut the cord from our previous
parent company ThyssenKrupp," said Iller.

The ThyssenKrupp subsidiary is the world's largest manufacturer of
stainless steel and employs 11,000 people. Made the last unit
generated revenue of six billion euros. Financial investors shun the
business with its ups and downs, which is also heavily dependent on
commodity prices.

The sale of the division plans are part of the comprehensive
restructuring of ThyssenKrupp CEO Heinrich Hiesinger to pay off the
heavy debts of the company.

Fire River Gold mining, the successful ascent to the producer ..

Today we give you an update on Alaska's Newest Gold Producer. The company manufactures in its own mine since early July 2011, the self-mined gold dust! Inform yourself about the following, update and what has happened in the recent past to increase shareholder value!


Fire River Gold is a new producer who has been recently, has recorded more precisely on 07/04/2011 at the Nixon Fork Mine production of gold and copper. Thus, this project is the most advanced and has already generated cash flow.

Fire River Gold has, however, this also has two other properties that have yet to be explored, which certainly can be funded in future through the production of the Nixon Fork Mine, or at least partially funded. These projects, we mention only for completeness sake, because we focus on Nixon Fork, as it makes the management. We must mention the Kansas Beach project

See below


Draken and the project where information is available at

can be retrieved. As these projects are among the portfolio of Fire River Gold, we should mention it, but no closer today to go to one!

These are the latest drilling results from the News of 23.08.2011

Fire River Gold is pleased to announce additional high-quality results known, which were drilled from the drilling program in 2011 in the Nixon Fork Mine, which lie in the Tintina gold belt of Alaska. The samples are confirmed by the investigation and come back from the drill that drilled the holes to N11U N11U-101-199 from the 3300, 3100 and 3000 zones. This series of boreholes was to expand the extent of gold mineralization have been created by the 3300 zone, and also extremely successful. Of particular importance is hole number N11U-175.

Fire River Gold will continue the exploration on the company's own field, to increase the resource, thereby extending the mine life.

The qualified person for the press release is Richard Goodwin, P. Eng, President & COO of Fire River Gold, which we used as an information source.

Compared with the current gold price should yield enough left over, which should enable the company safely in the near future be able to reduce production costs even further. Even better, it came on 30.8.2011, as we were by the company on request to the current cash costs reported that they calculated a cost of less than 700 USD. In the next few releases dated 25/08/2011, we see that work is continuing work to make production more efficient and effective.



Progress of the Nixon Fork Mine in the News of 25.08.2011

Fire River Gold Reports on the progress at the Nixon Fork Mine!

Fire River Gold and Mystery Creek Resources are pleased to be able to provide this update for the Nixon Fork Mine disposal. It represents a summary that describes the progress of mining and milling of rocks.

The mill took on 4 July 2011 to run on and it worked this time with an average maturity of 71%. A total of 3078 tons of ore in July and now handles about 2,500 and this month. Currently, only the gravity and Floationskreisläufe. The CIL plant is under construction. The contents of the currently processed rock about 20 g / t on average amount to.

More than 30 tons of copper concentrate were produced, the 18% Cu, 779 g / t Au, and contained 398 g / t Ag. A total of 21 bags of concentrate, (one bag weighs 18 300 kg) were transported to Anchorage with a Hercules L-100.

The concentrate is compared to the last period of production has improved significantly since the levels have improved and the moisture content is further decreased. The following table shows the significant improvement.

[2011-09-04_125508]



The moisture content has been recently further reduced to less than 6% in the latest bags!

The final gravity separation could deploy about 500 ounces of gold, which was cast into a 30 kg Dorébarren.

The overall gold recovery rate averaged 78% (24% by the gravitational force and 54% copper in concentrate). This corresponded to the expectations of the company. Comparatively, the overall gold recovery rate in 2007 was "only" on average 68%! The overall gold recovery rate will again increase significantly with the additions of Durchfilterns (leach circuit) as a third part of gold mining.

Approximately 4,000 tons of ore have been mined to date of five Strossen1 above room and pillar-Förderung2. The mine is currently building from about 170 tons per day, with grades of 18 g / t Au. For evaluation of the land degradation and other effective methods of exploration and mining of ore to be tried.

Among other attempts are made with long-hole drilling to reduce costs and increase productivity.
Also, the use of so-called remote control scooptram3

Tries (remote controlled trucks) and drill buggys4. The necessary mining equipment has been procured. Non-Explosive Ore is also being considered in the form of crusher machines and with considerable success.

The qualified person for the press release is Richard Goodwin, P. Eng, President & COO of Fire River Gold, which we used as an information source.

One explanation for the so-called Strossenabbau will be able to read soon on the Miningscout.de!



Investment Highlights in brief:





• No debt and fully funded

· High grade production history (42 g / t)

· No political risk (Alaska is set for each mining)

° There are very high potential of resources available

· Systems and tools for the production available for reduced venture capital requirements

· Experienced production team

• By reducing the production cost further upside potential exists

• Very good management



Conclusion:

In our estimation, taking into account the investment highlights and news of the last two alone, there is Fire River Gold on an outstanding way, the future holds for the more certainly still plenty of surprises. The top-class management to David Russell (Chairman) and Richard Goodwin (President & COO) has proven once again that it is only for the benefit of the company and its shareholders. As we go further by rising precious metal and commodity prices, we see Fire River Gold set up as a very good working order and in the future to successfully and profitably.

In preparing this report I Jörg Schulte has great support. My thanks to good at this point and further cooperation. If you want to learn more exciting information on Explorers and other interesting values, I would be pleased to participate in my discussions!
Good luck with the action you wish

carbon steel trays

3.7.1 Carbon Steel Trays
One of the most frequent causes of flooding is the use of carbon steel trays. Especially when the valve caps are also carbon steel, the valves have a tendency to stick in a partially closed position. This raises the pressure drop of the vapor flowing through the valves, which, in
turn, pushes up the liquid level in the downcomer draining the tray. The liquid can then back up onto the tray deck and promote jet flood
due to entrainment.
Of course, any factor (dirt, polymers, gums, salts) that causes a reduction in the open area of the tray deck will also promote jet flooding. Indeed, most trays flood below their calculated flood point, because of these sorts of problems. Steel trays, like people, rarely perform quite up to expectations.
The use of movable valve caps in any service where deposits can accumulate on the tray decks will cause the caps to stick to the tray deck. It's best to avoid this potential problem. Use of grid trays with fixed  cap assemblies is preferred for most services.

Welding Metallurgy and Weldability of Stainless Steels

Welding Metallurgy and Weldability of Stainless Steels
The book Welding Metallurgy and Weldability of Stainless Steels has gotten good reviews already several times.

"...an up-to-date textbook that will surely become a respected volume for years to come." (Welding Journal, September 2005)

Welding Metallurgy and Weldability of Stainless Steels is the first book for decades to address welding metallurgy and weldability issues associated with stainless steel, offers the most up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of these topics available at the moment. The authors stress fundamental metallurgical laws ruling microstructure evolution and property development of stainless steels, including martensistic, ferric, austenitic, duplex, and precipitation hardening grades. They present a logical and well-organized look at the history, evolution, and primary uses of each stainless steel, including detailed descriptions of the associated weldability issues.

This is an excellent reference and sourcebook for practicioners of engineering. While not a handbook, this book contains a lot of useful data, however, its primary value is as text that gives general guidance and explains why the alloys behave as they do. The authors of this book are world leaders in their field, and as expected, they have produced a first-rate book. The book begins with three chapters, which concisely describe the metallurgy of stainless steels, followed by five chapters that discus the welding of the different types of stainless steels. The final two chapters discuss the welding of dissimilar steels and weldability testing.
