Beginning in January 2004, two long-standing iron and steel organizations, the Iron & Steel Society and the Association of Iron and Seel Engineers, will have joined together to become the Association for Iron & Steel Technology (AIST).
The inaugural issue of Iron & Steel Technology, the official publication of AIST, launches in January 2004, combining the former Iron & Steelmaker and AISE Steel Technology. Iron & Steel Technology is a leading source of information and technical resources for more than 11,000 iron and steel professionals who are members of AIST. Members range from corporate presidents and CEOs to students learning the fundamentals of iron and steelmaking. Together, these members make up one of the largest organizations in the global iron and steel industry.

With every AIST member receiving a subscription to the magazine, Iron & Steel Technology meets the information needs of those who develop strategies to improve process reliability, product quality and company profits throughout the industry. Concurrent with the transition from bronze to iron was the discovery of carburization, which was the process of adding carbon to the irons of the time. Iron was recovered as sponge iron, a mix of iron and slag with some carbon and/or carbide, which was then repeatedly hammered and folded over to free the mass of slag and oxidise out carbon content, so creating the product wrought iron. Wrought iron was very low in carbon content and was not easily hardened by quenching. The people of the Middle East found that a much harder product could be created by the long term heating of a wrought iron object in a bed of charcoal, which was then quenched in water or oil. The resulting product, which had a surface of steel, was harder and less brittle than the bronze it began to replace.
