NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

It is rightly said, science isn't about

why, it's about why not? It was with

t h i s l o g i c t h a t H a r r y B re a r l ey

coincidentally discovered stainless

steel. His endeavour was only for an

advanced metal to eliminate corrosion,

and fortunately his fishing expedition

succeeded in discovery of the most

versatile metal called 'stainless steel'.

The versatility of stainless steel can be

inferred from the fact that till date we

are only discovering newer stainless

s t e e l g r a d e s a n d a s s o r t e d

applications. I can proudly say, Jindal

Stainless is not only producing this

versatile metal in million tonnes, but

also striving to achieve its vision of 'improving lives' by augmenting the usage of 'stainless steel'

through innovative solutions for all users, existing or potential. We at Jindal Stainless, still

remain as inquisitive about this metal as Harry was while taking a shot in the dark and are

continuously striving for the best.

In this issue you will come across features which highlight our avid efforts to promote this metal

through a uniques stainless steel training & Demo Van. Plumbing is looking for a sustainable

solution due to seepage in ordinary steel pipes and apprehension of carcinogenic traits in

plastic pipes. Stainless steel is on its way to find an intense use in plumbing solutions in future

keeping in mind the water loss, life cycle costing and its hygienic properties to carry water safely

to your homes. We are organising several workshops to familiarise all stakeholders with this new

concept in India. We are also reaching out to various institutes to impart knowledge about

stainless steel applications.

Not to forget, do attempt our quiz section and share your feedback about the Stainless Post.

Season's Greetings to all.

STAINLESS STEEL PLUMBING SOLUTIONS - AWARENESS PROGRAMSFOR PLUMBERS

homas Fuller rightly said, "We never Tknow the worth of water till the well is

dry”. In India, scarcity of water, pipeline

leakages, increasing water theft and poor

quality of water supply line are prominent

problems. This makes stainless steel an

ideal metal for plumbing solutions. Stainless

Steel is preferred in terms of maintaining

hygiene in water based applications. It is

estimated that 29% of the water is wasted

due to leakage in plumbing. Stainless Steel

plumbing reduces water leakage drastically.

To i n c re a s e i t s u s a g e i n p l u m b i n g

applications, Jindal Stainless conducted an

awareness program for p lumbers in

September in South Delhi with the help of

Indian Plumbing Skills Council (IPSC)

under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojna

(PMKVY) scheme. This program was

conducted for 50 plumbers introducing

stainless steel plumbing, its usage and

benefits of stainless steel plumbing were

explained to them. These plumbers were

awarded certificates of Level-1 in Stainless

Steel plumbing on the basis of assessment

done at the end of the program.

STAINLESS STEEL COACHES CANLOWER IMPACT OF TRAINMISHAPS: ISSDA

ll coaches made of stainless steel Ainstead of carbon steel can minimise

the impact of train accidents, Indian

Stainless Steel Development Association

(ISSDA) said, referring to recent train

accident in Muzaffarnagar district of Uttar

Pradesh that claimed 22 lives last month.

"If all the railway coaches in the country could

be made of stainless steel instead of carbon

steel, it can bring down the number of lives

lost in train accidents significantly" said

ISSDA. It said the use of stainless steel in

passenger coaches is a common practice in

developed economies such as the US,

Canada, Brazil, Japan, Korea and Australia

and in many East Asian countries.

STAINLESS SPIRIT

Tell us about your family and your place

of origin?

I was born in a farmer's family in district

Almora in Uttarakhand. Seeing difficult times

and limited opportunities in our native place,

my father moved to Delhi where he worked as

a helper at a doctor's clinic. Back in our

village, while still in my adolescence, I was

taking care of my mother and a younger

brother. My school was about 8 kms from my

house and means of transport were very

limited, making commuting to school an

ordeal. Besides, push for education in small

villages, like ours, where poverty is pertinent,

yields little. Thus, I received only basic

education and could study only till class

twelfth. My mother's sudden illness forced me

into marriage, and before I could even stand

on my feet, I had yet another life to provide for.

In what circumstances did you join JSL?

Hoping to find a job to support my family, I

landed up in Hisar, where my maternal uncle

worked with the central government. I arrived

in Hisar with nothing but a bag of clothes and

I wish the company to

grow by leaps and

bounds so as to generate

more employment

opportunities.

STAINLESS SPIRIT

Dayal Singh, Head of Operations,

Steel Melting Shop (JSHL)

rom a farming background to Fthe head of operations in

India's biggest stainless steel

producer, Dayal Singh has more to

share about his 35-year long

journey with JSL than we can

imagine!

Meet the man who had risen from

humble origins to leadership

position in the melt shop. The

stainless fighter who proved that

with sheer hard work that

anything is possible. The one who

saw the sanguine sun in the

flames of fire, around which he

worked day and night.

the responsibility of three people on my

shoulders. My uncle's friend informed us

about a job opening in JSL and I lucked into

employment as a supervisor in the Hisar

Plant. This dates back to the summer of 1983,

my last teenage year.

Describe your first few years at JSL

My initial years at the Hisar plant were

extremely challenging. Everything from the

heavy machinery to the processes, appeared

obscure at first. I needed someone to

acquaint me with the know-how of steel

m a k i n g . H o w eve r, w i t h l i m i t e d j o b

opportunities, and insecurities as a result of

that, people were not willing to offer aid. It was

I still remember a 19 year old young

boy, who lacked qualification but

had enough zeal to learn. The

spark in his eyes, the eagerness to

know more and the passion to do

something big, he was always

different from his fellow workmen. It

is no wonder that he has come this

far; he deserves every bit of it.

– Mr. Sunil Gera, Raw Material- Head

STAINLESS POST | JINDAL STAINLESS - OCTOBER, 2017 10

not until my acquaintance with Mr Sunil Gera,

my mentor, that I learnt the required skills to

work at a steel melt shop. Under his guidance,

I moved on to acqu i re pos i t ions o f

responsibility and went up the corporate

ladder. The fire that scared me first, was a

hope towards the shining future.

Share your most memorable instance at

JSL.

It was in 1990s that I achieved my first

milestone of success. I was in the night shift

and we were making J3 grade of stainless

steel. Back then, J3 grade used to take three

hours to finish, in per heat. There were not

many people around at that time. I thought of

experimenting a little in order to reduce the

lead time. And so it happened. My experiment

was a success. I reduced the lead time by 45

minutes and set a new benchmark by

completing it in 2 hours 15 minutes. Mr

Subrato Bhattachar ya, who was the

production head then, extolled me to the

skies. There was no looking back after that.

What's your message to the JSL Family?

The road to success is difficult. Sometimes

luck favours you and sometimes you make

your own luck with hard work and dedication.

But, it's never easy for anyone. Even the most

successful people in the world have

experienced failures. But those who rise up

against difficulties and continue the march

forward are bound to succeed. My wishes are

always with my fellow workers and specially

with the young colleagues who are full of life

and colours. I wish them all the success to get

going, despite the hurdles. Furthermore, I

wish the company to grow by leaps and

bounds so as to generate more employment

opportunities. I can never forget how a 19 year

old boy found his true mettle within the walls

of a steel melt shop. In the flames of the fire

that nurtures the blazing metal, a young boy

was nurtured for life.

QUIZ OF THE MONTH (ANSWER & WINNERS)

Last month, we asked the following question.

Stainless Steel was invented by an

eminent scientist depicted in the image.

Name the person.

QUIZ

ANSWER

He is Harry Brearley (18 February 1871 – 14 July 1948) was an English metallurgist, usually

credited with the invention of "rustless steel" (later to be called "stainless steel" ).

In the troubled years immediately before World War I, arms manufacturing increased

significantly in the UK, but practical problems were encountered due to erosion (excessive

wear) of the internal surfaces of gun barrels. Brearley began to research new steels which

could better resist the erosion caused by high temperatures (rather than corrosion, as is often

mentioned in this regard). He began to examine the addition of chromium to steel, which was

known to raise the material's melting point, as compared to the standard carbon steels.

During his tenure with Brown Bayley's Steel Works, while investing ways to eliminate rust in gun

barrels, when by accident, he noticed a discarded steel sample from an earlier test was not

rusting, while other samples were. The result was a chrome alloy steel, much more rust

resistant than seen before. The date was June 4, 1912. Two months later, on August 20, 1912,

stainless steel was cast for the first time.

WINNERS

While we received more than 50 entries & most of them were correct, Mr Daksh Sharma,

SPS tubes Industries, Ahmedabad & Mr Prakhyat Nayak, Rishi Steels and Tubes,

Bangalore were the first ones to answer.

We received equal no of entries from Jindal Stainless team, and Mr Nitin Sati & Mr Vivek

Sharma were the first ones to crack the same.

Winners will be receiving a small compliment from us shortly.
