Investigation of Properties of Foundry Pig Irons and Development of Centrifugally Cast Rolling Rolls

Mr. Chairman, officers of ISIJ, ladies and gentlemen. Let me open this lecture by expressing my sincere gratitude for the honorable Asada Prize you have awarded to me today. I am particularly pleased to consider it as a recognition on the part of the iron and steel industry of what little contribution I, a man of foundry, have been fortunate enough to make towards progress of the steel industry in their attainment of world's leading position.
