Syd Mead futuristic illustration for United States Steel

This is part of an absolutely marvellous flickr set of what United States Steel thought the future might hold. It’s a touch more optimistic than their British counterpart, Corus, who only managed to inspire the dystopia that is Blade Runner with their monstrosity of a steel plant in Port Talbot.

However, USS obviously didn’t figure current prices into the equation.

It’s always good to get an email from Euro Inox about one of their new pdfs about stainless steel and its respective design or fabrication. This time they’ve managed to place 120 of them onto a single pdf that you can scout through and download to your heart’s content.

The email itself reads:

About 120 different publications are available now on the Euro Inox website, some of them in up to 11 languages. To provide a systematic overview, a “List of Online Publications on Stainless Steel” has been produced. It groups the information by areas of interest:

- Stainless Steel, its Fabrication and Use
- Architecture, Building and Construction
- Automotive Applications
- Stainless Steel in the Home
- Environment and Human Health

So, have a gander, see if there’s anything you might find of interest and then download the corresponding pdf.
