Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for grain refining of steel. A grain refining alloy having a composition FeXY where X is one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Cr, Mn, Si, Ni, and Mo and where Y is one or more oxide and/or sulphide and or nitride and/or carbide forming elements selected from the group consisting of Ce, La, Nd, Pr, Ti, Al, Zr, Ca, Ba, Sr, Mg, C and N where X is between 0.001 and 99% by weight based on the weight of the alloy and where Y is between 0.001 and 50% by weight of the alloy, said alloy additionally containing between 0.001 and 2% by weight of oxygen and/or between 0.001 and 2% by weight of sulphur, said alloy containing at least 103 inclusion particles per mm3 consisting of oxides and/or sulphides and/or carbides and/or nitrides of one or more of the Y elements and/or one or more of the X elements Cr, Mn and Si in addition to Fe, said inclusion particles having a mean diameter of less than 10 ?m, is added to molten steel in an amount of between 0.

Abstract: A system (10) for balancing two-wheeled vehicles when approaching rest or when at rest is provided. The system (10) includes a spinning gyro rotor (12) which is precessed about an axis (16) upon the sensing (22) of incipient tipping of the vehicle when the vehicle is at rest or approaching rest so as to generate a force for preventing such tipping. The system may be packaged in a small module (100) that can be mounted on existing two-wheeled vehicles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for reduction of chromium content in slag during melting of stainless steel in electric arc furnaces where steel scrap and additive alloys are melted in an electric steel furnace, whereafter molten steel and slag are tapped into a ladle, removal of the slag from the steel in the ladle, transferring of the molten steel from the ladle to a converter wherein the steel is refined and where the chemical composition of the steel is adjusted by addition of alloying elements. According to the invention fine particulate ferrosilicon is added to the slag during the time interval between the slag and the steel are melted, but before the molten steel and slag is tapped into the ladle.
