Anthony G. Hopwood: Academic Iconoclast and Entrepreneur 1944–2010

A nthony Hopwood was born on May 18, 1944 in Stoke-on-Trent in England and died on May 8, 2010 in Marlow, England. He was a pioneer in behavioral accounting research. He contributed to that area with both his research and as the founding editor of Accounting, Organizations and Society (AOS), the leading behavioral accounting research journal, the reason for which he likely is best well known by scholars internationally, both in and outside of accounting. He held that position for 35 years. As Zeff (2008, 3) described it, in his remarks introducing Anthony at his Hall of Fame induction:

Self-Managed Teams in the Steel Industry: An Interview With John Selky (Part II)

The following is the final installment of a two-part interview with Mr. John Selky who was the President of I/N Tek / I/N Kote (I/N) from its inception in 1989 to his retirement in 1998. I/N was jointly financed and built (1987-1990) by U.S.-owned Inland Steel Company and Japanese-owned Nippon Steel Corporation. In 1998, Inland Steel Company sold itself and its ownership share in I/N to Ispat International, a Dutch-owned global steel conglomerate. I/N produces high quality cold rolled and coated steel coils using a computerized, state-of-the-art continuous production process. To most effectively accommodate the technology and the demands of increasingly competitive steel product markets, the work system at I/N is organized around self-managed teams made up of union employees. In our first installment, published in the previous issue of The Journal of Leadership Studies, Mr. Selky explained the development and start-up of the I/N joint venture. The highly effective I/N work system emphasizing teamwork and other work system innovations is truly remarkable considering the steel production process and the traditionally mechanistic, unionized nature of U.S. steel companies. Mr. Selky has been credited with the success of I/N's high performance work system. Although Mr. Selky's background may be found in the first installment, it is presented below for the reader's convenience.

Electromagnetic processing of liquid steel

The use of electromagnetic processing of liquid steel at Inland Steel Company is in various stages, ranging from commercial usage, with suggestions to vendors for improvements, to new application research. The status of commercially available electromagnetic stirring and electromagnetic braking are discussed. Application research of electromagnetic containment and electromagnetic throttling are also discussed. The basic theory for electromagnetic processing of liquid steel is presented.

On the disappearance of fine, disc-like features from thin foils of steel

Fine carbide particles form in quenched-and-aged specimens of iron containing a small amount of carbon. Similar precipitation occurs in ferrite grains within dual-phase steels. The particles have been described as discs or loops, typically about 20 run in diameter and 2 nm thick, which lie on ﹛100﹜ planes within ferrite grains. The precipitates are believed to form in association with vacancies and produce increases in hardness and yield strength. Two studies showed that these features disappeared after heating specimens in the transmission electron microscope (TEM), and this note reports further on this phenomenon.Continuously annealed and cold-rolled sheet steel (provided by Inland Steel Company) contained (in wt pet) 0.087 C, 0.97 Mn, 0.27 Si, 0.034 Al, 0.008 S, and 0.005 N. Specimens were intercritically annealed at 770°C for five minutes and quenched in iced water. Tensile testing was conducted within one day of heat treatment, and then specimens were stored at room temperature for about six months. Thin foils were produced by conventional thinning methods and jet polished at 75 V and 80 mA in an electrolyte containing 95% acetic acid and 5% perchloric acid. Specimens were examined in a Philips EM400 operated at 120 kV.

INCUT 200

Abstract INcut 200 is a premium free-machining steel containing no lead. Machinability is derived from added bismuth. The steel has excellent ductility and it can be welded and brazed readily. The absence of lead facilitates of machine shop scrap. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: SA-431. Producer or source: Inland Steel Company.

Qualities of strand cast resulfurized free-machining steels

The machinability of stran-dcast free-machining steels newly developed jointly by Nippon Steel Corporation and Inland Steel Company is compared to that of ingot-cast steels. The effect on machinability of such metallurgical factors as the size and shape of manganese sulfide inclusions, lead particles, and oxides, that are likely to change as the shift is made from the ingot-casting process to the strandcasting process is discussed. The results of this study show that strand-cast products contain somewhat smaller manganese sulfides, but that, unlike ingot-cast products, they are free from the segregation of machinability-improving inclusions and hard oxides. Therefore, strand-cast steels are as machinable as the average ingotcast steels, are less variable in machinability and are more consistent in quality. It has also been found that machinability is improved as the amount of manganese sulfides, lead particles, and the size of manganese sulfides increase and as the amount of oxides decreases. However, it has been observed that the effect of manganese sulfide shape varies with the machining condition. This report also discusses the effect on improved machinability of the manganese sulfide deposit on the tool.

Information Systems at Inland Steel

The following is adapted from a speech presented to the Brazilian Iron and Steel Institute in Rio de Janeiro on 15 September 1977 by John R. Lanahan, Assistant Comptroller - Systems for the Inland Steel Company. The purpose in publishing this article is to exemplify the philosophy underlying information systems development at Inland Steel Company. Hopefully, this example will motivate MIS people to make systems activity insights available to their users as well as to share practices among interested parties.
