As part of the initial plans to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Iron and Steel Institute a single journal issue of Ironmaking and Steelmaking was considered to be an option. Invited papers were seen as being the norm, but a number of difficulties were encountered. So, as we come to the end of the anniversary year the three papers in Steel World have been identified as 150th Anniversary papers. The process will be repeated on the Steel World issues in 2020. Adopting this approach will greatly assist the editors with the ongoing struggle to reduce the time to paper publication. It will also highlight to authors that actions are in place to progressively resolve this issue.

Two of them focus strongly on the Chinese iron and steel industry, and rightly so. China, after all, is the biggest steel producer in the World. The analyses contained in the two papers may perhaps attract attention 50 years from now at the 200th Anniversary!! In addition, due to China’s status in the World of iron and steelmaking, this journal is honoured to be the recipient of significant numbers of papers from the Chinese industry and academic institutions for possible publication in Ironmaking and Steelmaking/Steel World.

The third paper from ArcelorMittal extends on the theme of papers in previous editions of Steel World relating to scrap and the value of various feedstocks to the EAF process. This has some useful review data within it.

Included in this edition of the journal is a summary of the Conference 50 Years of Steel Alloy Design held in Sheffield in the UK at the beginning of November. This was a tremendous effort and the outcome was an outstanding conference overall. Some of the papers have already been commissioned for future editions of Ironmaking and Steelmaking (Steel World).

A topic which attracts a significant amount of attention is clean steelmaking – not in terms of low inclusion levels, but more directed at the efficient technologies for greenhouse emissions abatement. In view of this a book review has been included for Clean Ironmaking and Steelmaking Processes – Efficient Technologies for Greenhouse Emissions Abatement, by Professor Pasquale Cavaliere of the Department of Innovation Engineering, University of Salento, Italy. Suffice to say that this is a very significant text-book on the subject matter and contains a huge amount of data on the processes involved and to be involved in iron and steelmaking.
