The No. 8 issue of "Chernye metally" journal is opened by the conventional section "Development of metallurgy in Russia and other CIS countries".

V. S. Dub, A. N. Romashkin and other specialists from TsNIITMASH Institute have presented the large review devoted to development of steel ingot casting technology. All stages of this technological chain, that are required for providing proper quality of steel ingots in correspondence with up-to-date machine-building standards, are displayed.

Another review describing the current state of national rolling production has been prepared by S. V. Rodinkov and A. M. Kriventsov, the specialists of VNIIMetMash Institute. The brief survey of the projects of rolling equipment that are now under preparing in this scientific-technical and engineering-designing center is given.

The problems of complete preparation and training of designing engineers, meeting the requirements of the current industrial development, are elucidated in the paper by A. B. Netkachev et al. from the Institute of Material Science and metallurgy of the Ural Federal University and Uralgipromez. The authors substantiated necessity of preparing of the project chief engineers, or managers on development of industrial complexes.

The section "Iron and Steel Production" includes two papers. The first of them is an economical review and examines the challenges and ways of the European iron and steel industry from the customer's point of view, while the second is scientific-technical one, presenting the results of the research project of ArcelorMittal Hamburg GmbH and the Institute of Automation of Helmut Schmidt University in Hamburg. This project was devoted to the model of adjusting of DRI feed intensity during charging in the electric arc furnace.

Three articles are located in the section "Surface coating and processing". M. Nörteshauser and his colleagues from the leading European steel producers have described their experience about usage of control systems for surface quality of steel products at their works in Ijmuiden, Linz, Salzgitter, Duisburg, Bremen and Hagen. I. Trenkner has analyzed possibilities of usage of the new MagiZinc zinc-magnesium coating produced by tat Steel for automotive industry. The problem of drying of strip coating using infrared rays has been investigated in the paper by M. Angerstein.

Wide possibilities of efficient steel usage as material in different fields are presented also in this issue, as well as two actual analytical reviews by H. J. Kerkhoff, the President of "Steel" economical union.
